Yanamala Jagadeesh Reddy, hailing from Danduvaripalle in Bangarupalem mandal cultivates paddy, mango, millets in 20 acres without using chemicals.

TIRUPATI: Inspired by the words of Subhash Palekar on natural farming and his technique of zero-budget natural farming, a farmer from Chittoor district has adopted natural farming and now he is netting good profits.

He has been cultivating paddy, mango, millets and other crops on his 20 acres and producing jaggery, cold pressed groundnut oil without using any chemicals. Yanamala Jagadeesh Reddy, hailing from Danduvaripalle in Bangarupalem mandal, has been supplying his produce to more than 200 families. His father Krishna Murthy Reddy was also a farmer.

Jagadeesh, who had discontinued his studies, started farming using chemicals in 2010 and faced losses. In 2012, Jagadeesh attended a session on natural farming by noted natural farmer and researcher Subhash Palekar in Tirupati.

Palekar's words motivated him to take up natural farming and he started using cow dung, urine, green manure and biological pest control methods for farming. 

It takes more than a year to make his soil fertile using jeevamrutha, nine-leaf kashayam  (water decoction) and mulching. Jagdeesh has been producing desi varieties of rice such as de-husked Indrayani, Kullakar Arisi and Navara which are sold for Rs 100-Rs 130 per kg. There is good demand for natural farming products and the prices are high.
