Summary:
In the case of black gram and green gram, farmers can harvest within three months while for paddy the crop period is three to four months. M Kalidhas, 35, a progressive farmer from Inam Puliyur, has been advocating this widely-accepted but not widely practised method.He cultivates black gram, green gram, paddy, jasmine and banana on his land. Like many farmers, he has also been sticking to the organic way of cultivation, which was one reason he was able to export his greens. “We can harvest greens every day for six months,” he said. But what has ensured him a steady income from his four acres of agricultural land is his decision to grow leafy greens which he even exports..
