&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&lt;em&gt;KOCHI: &lt;/em&gt;A mini tiller was presented to the farmers in Edavanakkad to help them prepare the field for the pokkali crop as the monsoon sets in this week.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The tiller machine was handed over on Tuesday by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Ernakulam, which functions under the Centre for Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Ernakulam. Last month, the machine was given a trial run at different pokkali fields.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The tiller machine is suitable for the pokkali crop which follows the traditional organic farming system. The machine popularly known as garden tiller/mini tiller is of 5.5hp and weighs 60kg. The fields have to be dry to enough for a person to walk without sinking his legs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Most pokkali fields will be dry, naturally, if the previous shrimp farming is over on time to facilitate the draining of water in the first week of May. In certain fields, pumping may be required to dry the fields,&amp;quot; KVK&#039;s senior scientist Shinoj Subramannian. The mini tiller can plough about 1.5 acres in eight hours. At least, 15 labourers are required to cover so much area in a day. The cost of operation of the tiller is only Rs 2,500 compared with Rs 12,000 for manual labour. The machine requires a litre of petrol to run for an hour. &amp;quot;It is very helpful for sustainable pokkali farming as skilled labourers are not available in most places. Most of the skilled workers are also above 50 years of age,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After introducing the machine to a group of farmers and Padasekhara Samiti office-bearers on Tuesday, KVK selected Pushpangadhan from Edavanakkad and two youths from Paravoor to train others in using the machine. As part of the Mahila Kisan Saha Saktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP), funds have been provided through the district Kudumbashree mission to training women workers in pokkali farming. The Kendra plans to train a group of 15 Kudumbashree workers from each block panchayat having pokkali farming into a mechanized task force.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The CMFRI has already popularized cage fish farming in pokkali fields through KVK to augment the income of pokkali farmers.

Last month, the machine was given a trial run at different pokkali fields.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;The tiller machine is suitable for the pokkali crop which follows the traditional organic farming system. The machine popularly known as garden tiller/mini tiller is of 5.5hp and weighs 60kg. The fields have to be dry to enough for a person to walk without sinking his legs.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;&amp;quot;Most pokkali fields will be dry, naturally, if the previous shrimp farming is over on time to facilitate the draining of water in the first week of May. In certain fields, pumping may be required to dry the fields,&amp;quot; KVK&#039;s senior scientist Shinoj Subramannian. The mini tiller can plough about 1.5 acres in eight hours. At least, 15 labourers are required to cover so much area in a day. The cost of operation of the tiller is only Rs 2,500 compared with Rs 12,000 for manual labour. The machine requires a litre of petrol to run for an hour. &amp;quot;It is very helpful for sustainable pokkali farming as skilled labourers are not available in most places. Most of the skilled workers are also above 50 years of age,&amp;quot; he added.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;After introducing the machine to a group of farmers and Padasekhara Samiti office-bearers on Tuesday, KVK selected Pushpangadhan from Edavanakkad and two youths from Paravoor to train others in using the machine. As part of the Mahila Kisan Saha Saktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP), funds have been provided through the district Kudumbashree mission to training women workers in pokkali farming. The Kendra plans to train a group of 15 Kudumbashree workers from each block panchayat having pokkali farming into a mechanized task force.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;The CMFRI has already popularized cage fish farming in pokkali fields through KVK to augment the income of pokkali farmers.&lt;/p&gt;&#039;

&lt;em&gt;KOCHI: &lt;/em&gt;A mini tiller was presented to the farmers in Edavanakkad to help them prepare the field for the pokkali crop as the monsoon sets in this week.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The tiller machine was handed over on Tuesday by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Ernakulam, which functions under the Centre for Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Ernakulam. Last month, the machine was given a trial run at different pokkali fields.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;The tiller machine is suitable for the pokkali crop which follows the traditional organic farming system. The machine popularly known as garden tiller/mini tiller is of 5.5hp and weighs 60kg. The fields have to be dry to enough for a person to walk without sinking his legs.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
&amp;quot;Most pokkali fields will be dry, naturally, if the previous shrimp farming is over on time to facilitate the draining of water in the first week of May. In certain fields, pumping may be required to dry the fields,&amp;quot; KVK&#039;s senior scientist Shinoj Subramannian. The mini tiller can plough about 1.5 acres in eight hours. At least, 15 labourers are required to cover so much area in a day. The cost of operation of the tiller is only Rs 2,500 compared with Rs 12,000 for manual labour. The machine requires a litre of petrol to run for an hour. &amp;quot;It is very helpful for sustainable pokkali farming as skilled labourers are not available in most places. Most of the skilled workers are also above 50 years of age,&amp;quot; he added.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
After introducing the machine to a group of farmers and Padasekhara Samiti office-bearers on Tuesday, KVK selected Pushpangadhan from Edavanakkad and two youths from Paravoor to train others in using the machine. As part of the Mahila Kisan Saha Saktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP), funds have been provided through the district Kudumbashree mission to training women workers in pokkali farming. The Kendra plans to train a group of 15 Kudumbashree workers from each block panchayat having pokkali farming into a mechanized task force.
&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p style=&quot;text-align: justify&quot;&gt;
The CMFRI has already popularized cage fish farming in pokkali fields through KVK to augment the income of pokkali farmers.

Pokkali farms in west Kochi take the mechanized route

-The Times of India   KOCHI: A mini tiller was presented to the farmers in Edavanakkad to help them prepare the field for the pokkali crop as the monsoon sets in this week. The tiller machine was handed over on Tuesday by Krishi Vigyan Kendra (KVK), Ernakulam, which functions under the Centre for Marine Fisheries Research Institute (CMFRI), Ernakulam. Last month, the machine was given a trial run at different pokkali fields. "The tiller machine is suitable for the pokkali crop which follows the traditional organic farming system. The machine popularly known as garden tiller/mini tiller is of 5.5hp and weighs 60kg. The fields have to be dry to enough for a person to walk without sinking his legs. "Most pokkali fields will be dry, naturally, if the previous shrimp farming is over on time to facilitate the draining of water in the first week of May. In certain fields, pumping may be required to dry the fields," KVK's senior scientist Shinoj Subramannian. The mini tiller can plough about 1.5 acres in eight hours. At least, 15 labourers are required to cover so much area in a day. The cost of operation of the tiller is only Rs 2,500 compared with Rs 12,000 for manual labour. The machine requires a litre of petrol to run for an hour. "It is very helpful for sustainable pokkali farming as skilled labourers are not available in most places. Most of the skilled workers are also above 50 years of age," he added. After introducing the machine to a group of farmers and Padasekhara Samiti office-bearers on Tuesday, KVK selected Pushpangadhan from Edavanakkad and two youths from Paravoor to train others in using the machine. As part of the Mahila Kisan Saha Saktikaran Pariyojana (MKSP), funds have been provided through the district Kudumbashree mission to training women workers in pokkali farming. The Kendra plans to train a group of 15 Kudumbashree workers from each block panchayat having pokkali farming into a mechanized task force. The CMFRI has already popularized cage fish farming in pokkali fields through KVK to augment the income of pokkali farmers.
