A collaboration between the state project implementing unit of Prakritik Kheti Khushhal Kisan Yojana and the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR)-Institute of Microbial Technology in Chandigarh is on the cards for microbial study of dung and urine of indigenous cows being used for the Subhash Palekar Natural Farming (SPNF) in Himachal Pradesh.
The SPNF is a non-chemical, low-cost, climate-resilient agriculture technique, which is being promoted under the Prakritik Kheti Khushhal Kisan Yojana since its launch in 2018.
It recommends the use of dung and urine of indigenous cow breeds as the key components for soil fertility enhancement and plant protection.
