&lt;em&gt;Ramesh from Hoovinahalli is making waves with his biofuel, a 1:10-litre combination of honge oil and diesel&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
BENGALURU:&lt;/em&gt; This farmer from Hoovinahalli in Hassan district has not passed SSLC. Yet, his passion for innovation and experimentation is evident in all that he does. He runs a tractor, ragi-cleaning machine, and an irrigation pumpset on biofuel that he has produced and blended with conventional fuel. His achievement is being hailed by agricultural scientists in India and abroad. Many scientists from abroad have visited his farm to observe his experiment.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Fifty-one-year-old Ramesh has about 100 honge trees on his 40-acre farm. He collects its seeds and produces oil using a small machine developed by the University of Agricultural Sciences-Bengaluru. And, he blends this oil with diesel to run his tractor and other machinery.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;I have been blending one litre of honge oil with 10 litres of diesel since 2012-13. It is giving me excellent results,&amp;rdquo; he says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
The idea of biofuel caught his imagination when he was at the Krishi Mela of the UAS-B in 2012. He was at a stall that demonstrated a model of bus engine being powered by biofuel. &amp;ldquo;Through experimentation, I zeroed in on the 1:10-litre combination, where 1 litre of honge oil is blended with 10 litres of diesel as that reduces smoke and gives best results,&amp;rdquo; Ramesh says.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;ldquo;Initially, people ridiculed me saying I would end up spoiling my tractor engine. Now I am happy as my biofuel has helped me save Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000 a year,&amp;rdquo; he says. He is proud that four farmers in the surrounding villages have started emulating him.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Expressing fear that the cost of petroleum may increase sharply in the next 10 years, he says biofuel could be one of the options to make farming sustainable by reducing expenses.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
He has a suggestion for farmers and policymakers. &amp;ldquo;If you want to make farming sustainable after 10 years, please promote planting of biofuel saplings from today. We do not have adequate availability of honge seeds if a sizeable number of farmers come forward to use biofuel,&amp;rdquo; he observes.
&lt;/div&gt;

Yet, his passion for innovation and experimentation is evident in all that he does. He runs a tractor, ragi-cleaning machine, and an irrigation pumpset on biofuel that he has produced and blended with conventional fuel. His achievement is being hailed by agricultural scientists in India and abroad. Many scientists from abroad have visited his farm to observe his experiment.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Fifty-one-year-old Ramesh has about 100 honge trees on his 40-acre farm. He collects its seeds and produces oil using a small machine developed by the University of Agricultural Sciences-Bengaluru. And, he blends this oil with diesel to run his tractor and other machinery.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;I have been blending one litre of honge oil with 10 litres of diesel since 2012-13. It is giving me excellent results,&amp;rdquo; he says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea of biofuel caught his imagination when he was at the Krishi Mela of the UAS-B in 2012. He was at a stall that demonstrated a model of bus engine being powered by biofuel. &amp;ldquo;Through experimentation, I zeroed in on the 1:10-litre combination, where 1 litre of honge oil is blended with 10 litres of diesel as that reduces smoke and gives best results,&amp;rdquo; Ramesh says.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;ldquo;Initially, people ridiculed me saying I would end up spoiling my tractor engine. Now I am happy as my biofuel has helped me save Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000 a year,&amp;rdquo; he says. He is proud that four farmers in the surrounding villages have started emulating him.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Expressing fear that the cost of petroleum may increase sharply in the next 10 years, he says biofuel could be one of the options to make farming sustainable by reducing expenses.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He has a suggestion for farmers and policymakers. &amp;ldquo;If you want to make farming sustainable after 10 years, please promote planting of biofuel saplings from today.

His achievement is being hailed by agricultural scientists in India and abroad. Many scientists from abroad have visited his farm to observe his experiment.<br />
<br />
Fifty-one-year-old Ramesh has about 100 honge trees on his 40-acre farm. He collects its seeds and produces oil using a small machine developed by the University of Agricultural Sciences-Bengaluru. And, he blends this oil with diesel to run his tractor and other machinery.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;I have been blending one litre of honge oil with 10 litres of diesel since 2012-13. It is giving me excellent results,&rdquo; he says.<br />
<br />
The idea of biofuel caught his imagination when he was at the Krishi Mela of the UAS-B in 2012. He was at a stall that demonstrated a model of bus engine being powered by biofuel. &ldquo;Through experimentation, I zeroed in on the 1:10-litre combination, where 1 litre of honge oil is blended with 10 litres of diesel as that reduces smoke and gives best results,&rdquo; Ramesh says.<br />
<br />
&ldquo;Initially, people ridiculed me saying I would end up spoiling my tractor engine. Now I am happy as my biofuel has helped me save Rs. 25,000 to Rs. 50,000 a year,&rdquo; he says. He is proud that four farmers in the surrounding villages have started emulating him.<br />
<br />
Expressing fear that the cost of petroleum may increase sharply in the next 10 years, he says biofuel could be one of the options to make farming sustainable by reducing expenses.<br />
<br />
He has a suggestion for farmers and policymakers. &ldquo;If you want to make farming sustainable after 10 years, please promote planting of biofuel saplings from today. We do not have adequate availability of honge seeds if a sizeable number of farmers come forward to use biofuel,&rdquo; he observes.

The seeds of trees fuel his machines -BS Satish Kumar

-The Hindu Ramesh from Hoovinahalli is making waves with his biofuel, a 1:10-litre combination of honge oil and diesel BENGALURU: This farmer from Hoovinahalli in Hassan district has not passed SSLC. Yet, his passion for innovation and experimentation is evident in all that he does. He runs a tractor, ragi-cleaning machine, and an irrigation pumpset on biofuel that he has produced and blended with conventional fuel. His achievement is being hailed by agricultural scientists in India and abroad. Many scientists from abroad have visited his farm to observe his experiment. Fifty-one-year-old Ramesh has about 100 honge trees on his 40-acre farm. He collects its seeds and produces oil using a small machine developed by the University of Agricultural Sciences-Bengaluru.
