&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;em&gt;JALANDHAR: &lt;/em&gt;Punjab farmers have started sowing wheat as paddy harvesting enters the last stage with just one-fifth of the crop left to be cut in fields. Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &amp;quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. &amp;quot;It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more,&amp;quot; he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer. &amp;quot;If one can mix cattle dung and stubble after a few weeks using an earth moving machine, then it can be ploughed back as fertilizer in the fields in six months otherwise it takes a year. I have been using this method for most of the last decade and this has been much cheaper,&amp;quot; he said. Shaminder Singh Sandhu, of Aahli Kalan village in Kapurthala district, whose joint family cultivates over 300 acres said that they did not burn stubble and had ploughed it back in the fields. &amp;quot;This has reduced our consumption of fertilizers. Most of people in our village did not burn stubble,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lakhwinder Singh from the same village, whose family has been cultivating 100 acres, said he only used mulcher to breakdown stubble into fine parts and did not spend on ploughing it back. &amp;quot;We have already sown wheat and it has started growing well,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The shredded stubble would ultimately get mixed in the soil during irrigation and would decompose further on its own. I have been using this method for the last three years and this has brought down my consumption of fertilizers as well as on stubble management,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration.<br /><br />The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.<br /><br />However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.<br /><br />Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&quot; he said.<br /><br />The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. &quot;It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more,&quot; he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract.<br /><br />Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer. &quot;If one can mix cattle dung and stubble after a few weeks using an earth moving machine, then it can be ploughed back as fertilizer in the fields in six months otherwise it takes a year. I have been using this method for most of the last decade and this has been much cheaper,&quot; he said. Shaminder Singh Sandhu, of Aahli Kalan village in Kapurthala district, whose joint family cultivates over 300 acres said that they did not burn stubble and had ploughed it back in the fields. &quot;This has reduced our consumption of fertilizers. Most of people in our village did not burn stubble,&quot; he said.<br /><br />Lakhwinder Singh from the same village, whose family has been cultivating 100 acres, said he only used mulcher to breakdown stubble into fine parts and did not spend on ploughing it back. &quot;We have already sown wheat and it has started growing well,&quot; he said. &quot;The shredded stubble would ultimately get mixed in the soil during irrigation and would decompose further on its own. I have been using this method for the last three years and this has brought down my consumption of fertilizers as well as on stubble management,&quot; he added. <br /></div><div align="justify">&nbsp;</div><div align="justify"><em>The Times of India, 12 November, 2018, please <a href="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ludhiana/farmers-get-innovative-turn-paddy-stubble-into-fertiliser/articleshow/66584188.cms" title="https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/city/ludhiana/farmers-get-innovative-turn-paddy-stubble-into-fertiliser/articleshow/66584188.cms">click here</a> to access </em><br /></div>               </font>

The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &amp;quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. &amp;quot;It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more,&amp;quot; he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer. &amp;quot;If one can mix cattle dung and stubble after a few weeks using an earth moving machine, then it can be ploughed back as fertilizer in the fields in six months otherwise it takes a year. I have been using this method for most of the last decade and this has been much cheaper,&amp;quot; he said. Shaminder Singh Sandhu, of Aahli Kalan village in Kapurthala district, whose joint family cultivates over 300 acres said that they did not burn stubble and had ploughed it back in the fields. &amp;quot;This has reduced our consumption of fertilizers. Most of people in our village did not burn stubble,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lakhwinder Singh from the same village, whose family has been cultivating 100 acres, said he only used mulcher to breakdown stubble into fine parts and did not spend on ploughing it back. &amp;quot;We have already sown wheat and it has started growing well,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The shredded stubble would ultimately get mixed in the soil during irrigation and would decompose further on its own. I have been using this method for the last three years and this has brought down my consumption of fertilizers as well as on stubble management,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;em&gt;JALANDHAR: &lt;/em&gt;Punjab farmers have started sowing wheat as paddy harvesting enters the last stage with just one-fifth of the crop left to be cut in fields. Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &amp;quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. &amp;quot;It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more,&amp;quot; he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer. &amp;quot;If one can mix cattle dung and stubble after a few weeks using an earth moving machine, then it can be ploughed back as fertilizer in the fields in six months otherwise it takes a year. I have been using this method for most of the last decade and this has been much cheaper,&amp;quot; he said. Shaminder Singh Sandhu, of Aahli Kalan village in Kapurthala district, whose joint family cultivates over 300 acres said that they did not burn stubble and had ploughed it back in the fields. &amp;quot;This has reduced our consumption of fertilizers. Most of people in our village did not burn stubble,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Lakhwinder Singh from the same village, whose family has been cultivating 100 acres, said he only used mulcher to breakdown stubble into fine parts and did not spend on ploughing it back. &amp;quot;We have already sown wheat and it has started growing well,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;The shredded stubble would ultimately get mixed in the soil during irrigation and would decompose further on its own. I have been using this method for the last three years and this has brought down my consumption of fertilizers as well as on stubble management,&amp;quot; he added. &lt;br /&gt;

&lt;em&gt;JALANDHAR: &lt;/em&gt;Punjab farmers have started sowing wheat as paddy harvesting enters the last stage with just one-fifth of the crop left to be cut in fields. Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &amp;quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&amp;quot; he said.&lt;br /&gt;

<em>JALANDHAR: </em>Punjab farmers have started sowing wheat as paddy harvesting enters the last stage with just one-fifth of the crop left to be cut in fields. Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration.<br />
<br />
The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice.<br />
<br />
However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields.<br />
<br />
Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. &quot;This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop,&quot; he said.<br />
<br />
The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. &quot;It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more,&quot; he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract.<br />
<br />
Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer. &quot;If one can mix cattle dung and stubble after a few weeks using an earth moving machine, then it can be ploughed back as fertilizer in the fields in six months otherwise it takes a year.

Punjab farmers get innovative, turn paddy stubble into fertiliser -IP Singh

-The Times of India JALANDHAR: Punjab farmers have started sowing wheat as paddy harvesting enters the last stage with just one-fifth of the crop left to be cut in fields. Paddy stubble management, however, continues to be vexatious issue, both for the farmers and the state administration. The lack of gap between harvesting paddy and sowing wheat and increased time and high cost of operating subsidised straw management machines have left farmers keen to stop burning stubble with no choice. However, some farmers are using innovative methods to manage paddy stubble at low or negligible cost in their fields. Mukesh Chander, of Rani Bhatti village near Bhogpur in Jalandhar district, revealed that he had collected stubble on a small portion of his field and had sprayed urea on it. "This helps to convert stubble into fertiliser in around two months which we plough back into the field at an appropriate time between harvesting and sowing of a crop," he said. The use of this innovative method is a win-win situation for the farmers. "It saves a lot of expenditure on diesel which is consumed for managing the stubble with machines and has also reduced my consumption of fertilizers. I have computed that although a small portion of the field is used to pile up stubble, the final compensation in terms of savings is more," he said. Mukesh cultivates over 100 acres which he takes on contract. Gurdev Singh of Navan Qila village, near Shahkot, said he had experimented by throwing cattle dung over stubble piled up on a side of his field to convert it into fertilizer.
