Having problems with message search?
Thank you very much for this note and report.Actually all problems of weeds,insects and deficiency of nutrients is directly related with tilling. Zero tillage, .returning of crop residues, and rotation of leguminous crops is sufficient.Main effect of tilling is 'under ground water' which is responsible of rain is vanishing.Chemical fertilizers,insecticides and weed killers are useless in conservative agriculture. Organic matter is useful but compost making is useless .Returning of all farm residues to field as soon as possible is O.K. Farming of tribals of
Raigadda Urisa still better than Modern scientific agriculture.
Thanks
Raju

Dear All ,
Vindhya Das of agragamee.org has attached a write up about the pros and cons of the tribal slash and burn system, and a possible search for alternatives through Conservation Agriculture option for tribal communities in Orissa, India. The concept of conservation agriculture is gaining popularity all over the world.
The article has been forwarded by Raju Titus to AgriConcern. In her view “ Of-course most of conservations agriculture till date is chemical and herbicide based. But, it has a lot of advantages over conventional and conventional organic agriculture, which is what would eventually make farmers switch to this more eco-friendly approach. In India, Conservation Agriculture has originated from Fukuoka's philosophy of natural farming, so I am sure Conservation Agriculture can be developed to be completely organic as well†.
I also feel to share the "New Delhi Declaration on Conservation Agriculture" held in New Delhi on 4-7th February 2009. Please visti below mentioned URL:
