While practicing traditional farming, Harishchandra Dasaram Tekam, strives for affordable farming using minimum chemical fertilizers and drugs. In his area, rice is considered the main food crop. He used to spend a lot on the rice crop pests and disease management. Tekam plants rice crops with the seedling method. He uses the necessary fertilizers while planting the paddy crops on the farmland.

While harvesting the Zaid paddy crop this year, Harishchandra Tekam chose the Rice-1009 car variety. Before planting the paddy crop, he used bacterial fertilizers like Biofit N.P.K and Biofit Shet 1 litre per acre for the crop. Then at an interval of 30 days, he used Biofit N.P.K and Biofit Shet 1 litre each for a 1-acre area through the flooding method. As a result, the paddy crop grew vigorously. This also reduced the additional cost of chemical fertilizers.

For proper growth of the paddy crop, he also sprayed Biofit Steamrich, Bio-99 and Biofit Shet on the rice seedlings in the nursery bed. As a result, the paddy crops were ready for planting a week in advance.
Differences between previous rice crop and Biofit rice crop
Previous rice crop :
  • Production cost/acre: Rs.20,000
  • Average yield/acre: 19 quintals
  • Market rate/quintal: Rs. 1300/
  • Total income/acre: Rs. 24,700
  • Net profit/acre: Rs. 4700
Biofit rice crop :
  • Production cost/acre: Rs 26,000
  • Average yield/acre: 28 quintals
  • Market rate/quintal: Rs. 1500/
  • Total income/acre: Rs. 42,000
  • Net profit/acre: Rs. 16,000
After planting, he sprayed a mixture of Biofit Steamrich, Bio-99 and Biofit Shet twice with an interval of 20 days. This resulted in the favourable growth of the paddy crop in the current season.
