Government Schemes Driving Innovation in Agriculture
To make farming a profitable business, the government is promoting modern agricultural techniques through various schemes. One standout innovation is the Super Seeder Machine, which is revolutionizing wheat and gram cultivation post-paddy harvest.
How Super Seeder Benefits Farmers?
The Super Seeder, when attached to a tractor, addresses the persistent issue of stubble management and sowing efficiency. It chops crop stubble into fine pieces, mixes it with the soil, and eliminates the need for stubble burning. This dual action protects the environment from pollution and preserves beneficial soil bacteria.
- Eco-friendly Stubble Management: Converts stubble into natural manure, improving soil health.
- Direct Sowing: Allows crops like wheat and gram to be sown directly without additional ploughing.
- Time and Cost Efficiency: Reduces cultivation costs by combining stubble destruction, ploughing, and sowing in one operation.
What Subsidy and Profitability Farmers Can get?
K.S. Khapedia, Deputy Director of the Vidisha district’s Kisan Kalyan Krishi Vikas Department, highlighted that the Super Seeder is available at the district’s Agricultural Engineering Department. Farmers can avail of up to 40% subsidy on the machine under government schemes.
Performance Metrics
- Operational Efficiency: Covers one acre in just an hour.
- Cost Savings: Saves expenses on ploughing and stubble removal.
- Revenue Potential: Educated youth from farming families can earn up to ₹1 lakh per season by renting out the Super Seeder.
Application Across Crops
In regions where moong is sown after wheat, the machine mixes wheat stubble into the soil and efficiently sows moong seeds. This ensures a seamless transition between crop cycles, boosting productivity.
