&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;IDUKKI: &lt;/em&gt;Contamination of water bodies due to excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers in the High Range areas has been constantly causing stress for cardamom farmer and farmer scientist Reji Njallani.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
This made him develop a method which would prevent the flow of hazardous chemicals into rivers and other water bodies. After years of  research, he has found a solution to the problem by developing what he calls the Njallani Ring Planting Method (NRPM). The NRPM is the method of cardamom farming using a ferrocement tank.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The tank, having a diameter of 4 ft, a height of 3 ft and two inches thickness of the wall, costs about `1,800, Reji told &amp;lsquo;Express&#039;.The tank is filled with a mixture of 10 cubic feet (CFT) of coconut pith, five CFT of dry cow dung, five CFT of dry leaves and 15 CFT of soil. The sapling is planted half feet deep in the tank, he said. Four hundred such rings can be placed in one acre of land. The method provides multiple benefits, including soil protection, plant care and manpower management.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
Conventional method makes cardamom plucking laborious as the worker has to bend to reap  the crop. On the other hand, the new method helps the worker pluck cardamom without bending. With this method, the production of cardamom increases by an additional 15 to 20 kg per day. Normally, it is eight to 10 kg per worker.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;
The method helps reduce expenses as frequent tilling and forking are not required due to the use of the mixture. Less manure is required as organic materials are used in the system.The system helps the growth of a farmer-friendly organism in the plant which keeps away harmful pests. Usually, pesticides and fertilisers are used non-uniformly, causing contamination of water bodies, including wells and rivers.The NRPM method uses minimum pesticides and fertilisers and the ring enclosure prevents flow of the pesticides to water bodies.
&lt;/p&gt;

$disp = &#039;&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;-The New Indian Express&lt;/div&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;IDUKKI: &lt;/em&gt;Contamination of water bodies due to excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers in the High Range areas has been constantly causing stress for cardamom farmer and farmer scientist Reji Njallani.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;This made him develop a method which would prevent the flow of hazardous chemicals into rivers and other water bodies. After years of  research, he has found a solution to the problem by developing what he calls the Njallani Ring Planting Method (NRPM). The NRPM is the method of cardamom farming using a ferrocement tank.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The tank, having a diameter of 4 ft, a height of 3 ft and two inches thickness of the wall, costs about `1,800, Reji told &amp;lsquo;Express&#039;.The tank is filled with a mixture of 10 cubic feet (CFT) of coconut pith, five CFT of dry cow dung, five CFT of dry leaves and 15 CFT of soil. The sapling is planted half feet deep in the tank, he said. Four hundred such rings can be placed in one acre of land. The method provides multiple benefits, including soil protection, plant care and manpower management.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Conventional method makes cardamom plucking laborious as the worker has to bend to reap  the crop. On the other hand, the new method helps the worker pluck cardamom without bending. With this method, the production of cardamom increases by an additional 15 to 20 kg per day. Normally, it is eight to 10 kg per worker.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;The method helps reduce expenses as frequent tilling and forking are not required due to the use of the mixture. Less manure is required as organic materials are used in the system.The system helps the growth of a farmer-friendly organism in the plant which keeps away harmful pests. Usually, pesticides and fertilisers are used non-uniformly, causing contamination of water bodies, including wells and rivers.The NRPM method uses minimum pesticides and fertilisers and the ring enclosure prevents flow of the pesticides to water bodies.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;The New Indian Express, 9 September, 2014, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Cardamom-Farming-Made-Eco-friendly-Thru-Innovation/2014/09/09/article2422221.ece&quot; title=&quot;http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Cardamom-Farming-Made-Eco-friendly-Thru-Innovation/2014/09/09/article2422221.ece&quot;&gt;http://www.newindianexpress.com/states/kerala/Cardamom-Far&lt;br /&gt;ming-Made-Eco-friendly-Thru-Innovation/2014/09/09/article2&lt;br /&gt;422221.ece&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&#039;

Cardamom Farming Made Eco-friendly Thru Innovation -PB Jayasankar

-The New Indian Express IDUKKI: Contamination of water bodies due to excessive use of pesticides and chemical fertilisers in the High Range areas has been constantly causing stress for cardamom farmer and farmer scientist Reji Njallani.
