Balanced use of fertilizer with use organic manures and biofertilizer viz. Rhizobium culture in pulse crop and Azotobactor & PSB culture in cereal and oilseed crops, use of zypsum in oilseeds and pulse crops. Timely use of herbicides and plant protection chemicals so as to give crops favorable condition and finally to get higher yield. With all these farmer introduced cucurbits and Mentha crop in his crop rotation. Now he is growing crops scientifically keeping in mind all suitable agronomic practices and getting higher returns comparing to previous practices.
