&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confident&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya. To ensure the fruit is ripe and ready to be sold during Ramzan, he has adopted artificial ripening technique innovated by the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Bangalore.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The method is not just cost-effective, but also has no adverse impact,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Father thankful&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Dundappa Muttappanavar thanks his son for changing the way he takes up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We used to work hard and earn less, but now we work less and earn more profits,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda, who wishes that more youths take up farming, believes that even with limited land, production can be enhanced if youths with the right knowledge and sprit take up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda can be contacted on 9663372026.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;INM system is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Farmers incur losses because they do not adopt new methods and gain knowledge of the market&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya. To ensure the fruit is ripe and ready to be sold during Ramzan, he has adopted artificial ripening technique innovated by the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Bangalore.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The method is not just cost-effective, but also has no adverse impact,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Father thankful&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Dundappa Muttappanavar thanks his son for changing the way he takes up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We used to work hard and earn less, but now we work less and earn more profits,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda, who wishes that more youths take up farming, believes that even with limited land, production can be enhanced if youths with the right knowledge and sprit take up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda can be contacted on 9663372026.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;INM system is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Farmers incur losses because they do not adopt new methods and gain knowledge of the market&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confident&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya. To ensure the fruit is ripe and ready to be sold during Ramzan, he has adopted artificial ripening technique innovated by the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Bangalore.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The method is not just cost-effective, but also has no adverse impact,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Father thankful&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Dundappa Muttappanavar thanks his son for changing the way he takes up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We used to work hard and earn less, but now we work less and earn more profits,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda, who wishes that more youths take up farming, believes that even with limited land, production can be enhanced if youths with the right knowledge and sprit take up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda can be contacted on 9663372026.

&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confident&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya. To ensure the fruit is ripe and ready to be sold during Ramzan, he has adopted artificial ripening technique innovated by the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Bangalore.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;The method is not just cost-effective, but also has no adverse impact,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Father thankful&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Mr. Dundappa Muttappanavar thanks his son for changing the way he takes up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;We used to work hard and earn less, but now we work less and earn more profits,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda, who wishes that more youths take up farming, believes that even with limited land, production can be enhanced if youths with the right knowledge and sprit take up farming.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda can be contacted on 9663372026.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;INM system is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;&amp;lsquo;Farmers incur losses because they do not adopt new methods and gain knowledge of the market&#039;&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confident&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya.

&lt;em&gt;Basagonda adopted INM system to cultivate papaya&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Confident&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;Faced resistance&lt;/em&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&amp;rdquo; he said.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father&#039;s doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&amp;rdquo; he says.
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

<div style="text-align: justify">

</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Around three years ago when Basagonda Muttappanavar decided to join his father in farming, he had a dream: to bring about a radical change in farming methods.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<em>Confident</em>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Being the son of a farmer, the 27-year-old agriculture graduate was confident of turning the not-so-profitable land into a dividend-rich farm.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Basagonda decided to cultivate Taiwan-786 variety of papaya on 4 acres of their 45-acre farm at Managuli village, around 12 km from Bijapur city.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;In just 15 months, I have made a profit that is more than double the average profit made by any papaya grower,&rdquo; he says.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
The secret of his success, says Basagonda, is his adoption of the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) system and having knowledge of the market. He says that most farmers incur heavy losses despite spending a lot of money because they fail to adopt new methods and gain proper knowledge of the market.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Elaborating on the INM system, he says it is a technique of integrating organic and chemical fertilizer in an optimum blend to get a higher yield.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;I have studied that chemical fertilizer is not bad for plants if used in the right quantity and at the appropriate time,&rdquo; he says.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<em>Faced resistance</em>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Basagonda says he faced resistance from his father, Dundappa Muttappanavar, when he decided to introduce new techniques.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;It is the thinking of many farmers like my father who do not wish to change the way they take up farming,&rdquo; he said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
But now, Basagonda has dispelled his father's doubts by cultivating over 80 tonnes of papaya and earning a profit of Rs. 2.45 lakh in 15 months.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
According to him, papaya is one crop which can make a farmer rich in a short period of time.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;All one needs to do is spend around Rs. 50,000 on cultivating papaya on 1 acre of land and wait for six months. After which, farmers start reaping profits every week for over 15 months,&rdquo; he says.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Basagonda says marketing is critical. He ensures that the fruit is ready to be sold during Ramzan when Muslims eat fruits such as papaya. To ensure the fruit is ripe and ready to be sold during Ramzan, he has adopted artificial ripening technique innovated by the Indian Institute of Horticulture Research, Bangalore.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;The method is not just cost-effective, but also has no adverse impact,&rdquo; he said.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<em>Father thankful</em>
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Mr. Dundappa Muttappanavar thanks his son for changing the way he takes up farming.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
&ldquo;We used to work hard and earn less, but now we work less and earn more profits,&rdquo; he says.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
<br />
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify">
Basagonda, who wishes that more youths take up farming, believes that even with limited land, production can be enhanced if youths with the right knowledge and sprit take up farming.
