Advantages of "Turmeric Above the Ground Farming".
There No Expenses incurred for 2/ 3 times of Ploughing.
Bund/Ridge Formation labour is totally avoided.
Once you Put Drip Irrigation System once, then the labour to water the plants
is totally not necessary till the harvest.
The fertilizers have to be put Inside the bags, and the fertilizers always are
inside the Bag and Plants can take them as they keep growing and the Quantity
of Fertilizers required are minimum and you Save Lots of Money.
No Weeds come up, and Hence the cost of labour involved in Removing weeds is saved in Full.
Water Remains in the bag for Longer Period of Time and Hence the Watering Frequency is Reduced.
In our systems , we observed in our research Farms, the turmeric grown, in this "above the ground
Farming" Concept " will be ready for harvest in 180 days to 200 days only when you compare to the
conventional ground farming which is about 9 - 10 months.
The bags and the Soil ( which are with remaining Fertilisers) can be re used for multiple times.
When you compare the Total Expenses on "Turmeric farming" till the harvest, the cost of the
bags are Very Very Less and the good news is that you can re use these bags for multiple
times , and the fertigated soil also can be used again, with Extra Compost/ Fertilizers.
As these bags are coming in Square Shape, and we keep them closely, there is No
chance of Weeds getting formed on the ground as the ground is not at all exposed.
There are holes provided at the bottom of the bags , so that the excess water/Rain Water
would go out of the bags, automatically.
It has been tested for the past 4 years and now that we are sure that it would be
a Game Changer for the Large Scale Farming too.
We have tested the turmeric grown on this Arjun's above the Ground Farming" Method,
and found that it Fulfills / Meets all the Specifications, for the Turmeric used for Exports.
The plant diseases which are spreading through the Soil, will not take place here, as every
plant is being separated by individual bags.
