Rajamma, member of Women Farmers Club (WFC) Narsampalli, uses effective nutrient management
Forty-year-old Rajamma, is a single woman who practices agriculture in her father’s three-acre land. She has two sons who are also engaged in agriculture but live separately. In 2020, Rajamma was provided with high-quality seeds of tomato and onion to be cultivated as a demonstration in a half acre, by the project, for which she paid 25 percent of the cost of seeds to the account of her Women Farmers Club Narsampalli. At the WFC, she had learned about nutrient management and says, “I have used bio manure as well as waste decomposer as an organic pesticide in my field, as a result of which I have a good yield at a comparatively lower cost, since my expenditure on buying chemical fertilizers was reduced.”
