Dear Chandra,
Very Good Initiative:
I’m very new to farming except for doing it for 2-3yrs on my rooftop with different veggies.
Now I have identified a plain land of one acre (leased out land) and want to do vegetable cultivation (intercrop along with banana plaintains. I’m only interested in chemical free farming and want to depend on cow dung, cow unrine and other naturally available items for fertiliser and pesticides.
Can you please advice how should I start preparing the land and plan the crop planting, distances between each crop etc. Also please provide your advice if you have come across tips like planting marigold plants, thulasi etc to keep pests away to some extend…looking for some more natural tips like these…
Thanks~

hi I am basically planning to shift down to mumbai…all this while I was working in ICAR but now I want to do something of my own like having a horticulture hub(nurseries starting with flowers and expanding it later but for this I require some prior knowledge like land area, capital involved and importantly how to start.
Dear All,
I am basically an IT professional and want to get into farming. For quite sometime i had been reading about employing modern farming methods which results in faster and higher yields. That is when my attention stuck on hydroponics, aeroponics and aquaponics. Out of the three aeroponics is what i am trying to focus on.
My idea is to start up aeroponics cultivation (vertical / horizontal) in a small scale on a test basis and then if proven successful take it higher.
Can anyone guide me more on this please.
Appreciate your help.
Best Regards

Dear All,
I am a newbie to farming. I have some agricultural land where we grow wheat and rice by contract farming but I dont have any hands on experience.
I have 2 plots of land that I want to do farming on myself. They are medium sized plots of around 8 and 12 acres.
Both are close to each other in border of Odisha and Jharkhand and other farmers in the region grow banana, turmeric, ginger, garlic, paddy, wheat, vegetables and newly pomegranate
I am thinking of growing pomegranate on one plot of land (12 acres) and put garlic as intercrop to make some cash while the plants take about 3 years to yield fruits.
I thought of ginger as well but someone told me that ginger is notorious for using up micronutrients and depleting quality of land ( Is this true )
The other 8 acres, I want to grow TC Banana sourced from Cadila (G-9 variety) … Initially 4 acres and rest 4 acres vegetables to see how easily I can sell the banana before growing on whole land.
I am also planning a half acre polyhouse where I want to grow vegetables on most but also experiment on hydroponics to grow flowers, capsicum and chillies along with a bit of Bok Choi and Lettuce for variety.
I just want to write down my plans for the community here to give me feedbacks on what I should be careful about or what I could do differently. I am currently getting some little work done and will start plantation this year over next 3-6 months depending on the crop.
Thanks
John

Sir
I am planning to start 1 acre poly house cultivation of Lillium and Gerbera near Indore MP. Please suggest the pros and cons of this cultivation.
Hello everyone,
I am a engineering graduate. I have always wanted to be a farmer. Now, I am considering farming as a profession on a serious note. My plan to start with is to keep it part-time on weekends and once i get a hang of it and i am confident about it I would want to completely shift into it. I know it is a very tough job and needs a lot of hard work, time and energy. I don’t have any experience in the field, but i want to pursue it. I don’t even have a land of my own to start. So I know first of all i need to get a 7/12 and other related documents that one needs to buy an agricultural land. So I will start working on that first. Also are there any events or programs encouraging people to take up farming and giving them knowledge about the same?
I am looking forward to your opinions. It would be great if someone can guide me through the entire process and make me aware of all the challenges to come. I really want to do this seriously.
Looking forward to some encouraging replies…
Thanks in advance
Dear Sir
The 7/12 of agriculture land, is given to farming community in M.S. You can get it, if any of your cousins,uncles,maternal uncles have any agriculture land in other words it should be from your father side or mother side. This is land record with Patwari / Revenue Department.
With best wishes and regards

First where do u wnt to start this project. Get information about there soil and weather. After that come investment and other materials manpower and seeds how to u get from. Visit any other farm ask old farmer about th3ir crops.
Dear Sir
Rates of the Crops are very volatile depends upon demand and supply.They can not be predicated, in one Harvest you get good rates in other you may not get even half of earlier rates.It is you who has to decide.Cultivation depends upon Soil quality ,whether conditions etc. Local community can help you for selection.
