Sunflower Agriculture: Nowadays, most of our country’s farmers are well aware of agriculture. They cultivate crops of advanced varieties by accepting new technology besides traditional agriculture. Because of this, they make a lot of profit. Today we tell you the success of a farmer of Chhattisgarh, its land was barren. Despite this, he was not disappointed. He first made his barren land fertile and then started cultivating sunflower and peanuts. Today, this farmer earns the bumper.
The barren farm was such a rich
Dilip Kumar Kanwar, a farmer of Patkan, in Chhattisgarh’s Gorba district, is surprised to make a bumper from a barren field. Dileep comes from the tribal community. The small land she had was completely bargaining. He decided to make his field fertile. The fields have been plowed for months, adding organic fertilizers to them. In this way, the land was fully prepared for planting crops.
Thought to grow such a sunflower
Dileep says that when the fields were fully prepared, paddy and wheat thought of raising sunflowers instead of paddy and wheat. For the first time, I saw the sunflower fields in Ratanpur, he says. It took full information about this agriculture. After this, he bought the sunflower seeds and sowed it in his fields.
Currently, he is cultivating peanuts with sunflower. Both crops are cultivated in three acres of fields. In this way, he is doing double farming at a time. Dileep says sunflower and peanut crops are ready to cut it in May in February. It is expected that the oil from both peanuts and sunflowers is expected to be a profit of two and a half lakh rupees.
Dileep says I have not planted any crop, and which farmers are empty, I put sunflowers on that ridge. Peanuts are installed under the sunflower crop. Even during this summer, the sunflower crop is waving in his field. The specialty of sunflower flowers is that they bloom all day by facing the sun.
Good yield in low hard work
Dileep says that the cultivation of peanuts and below the sunflower requires less hard work. The irrigation of this crop should also be reduced. The demand for these two crops is high in the market. Dileep says that farmers should leave traditional farming and keep the sunflower flowers.
With this, farmers can make more profits in low hard work. Other farmers of his village have also started cultivating sunflowers. Large amount of sunflower, too much oil comes out.
Such is the sunflower cultivation
Sunflower sowing can be done at the beginning of the rabi season. This can be sown in the season of Karib and Saeed. It is best to sow sunflower during the Jayit season from February to mid -February. Heavy water drainage is thought to be good for sunflower cultivation.
Plow the fields deep before sowing. Sunflower seeds should be sown by sequence compared to the spraying system. The distance from the row should be 4-5 cm and the distance from the plant to the plant should be 25-30 cm. The sunflower crop is cooked in 90 to 105 days. By growing sunflower by advanced method, you can get up to 18-25 quintals per hectare.
