Every year Parmeshwar Kakade grows soybeans. While farming traditionally, he mainly focuses on hybrid varieties and proper planning of fertilizers. Every year in an area of 2.5 to 3 acres he produces soybean crop.

On average he yields 7 to 8 quintals of soybean per acre and it costs him 22 to 24 thousand rupees per acre.

In the current year, Parmeshwar Kakade planted the Zaid soybean crop. He sowed a hybrid variety of soybean (Phule-Kimaya 75) in a 2-acre area by the token method. To improve the germination of soybeans, he conducted the seed process of Biofit Steamrich. As a result, germination exceeded 95%.

After 20 days of germination, he sprayed Biofit Steamrich, Bio-99 and Biofit Shet. Later in the bursting stage, flowering stage, and the pod filling stage he made the use of Biofit products. Due to the use of Biofit products in the current season, the growth of the soybean crop improved excellently. The number of bursts increased. The falling of flowers reduced and the pods filled well. He witnessed the path-breaking production of soybean in the current season.
Differences between previous soybean crop and Biofit soybean crop
Previous soybean crop :
  • Production cost/acre: Rs.24,000
  • Average yield/acre: 7.5 quintals
  • Market rate/quintal: Rs. 3600
  • Total income/acre: Rs. 27,000
  • Net profit/acre: Rs. 3000
Biofit soybean crop :
  • Production cost/acre: Rs 30,000
  • Average yield/acre: 12.5 quintals
  • Market rate/quintal: Rs. 4300
  • Total income/acre: Rs. 53,750
  • Net profit/acre: Rs. 23,750
While growing soybeans he also used Biofit N.P.K and supplied two doses of Shet through the flooding method to limit the cost of chemical fertilizers. This helped in improving the texture of the soil. The availability of nutrients in the soil also increased. In the current season, Kakade received a record soybean production of 12.5 quintals per acre.
