Udayankur Seba Sangstah (USS) organized an exposure visit under Seeds of Survival (SoS) Project at Japan funded organization name Hunger Free World (HFW) of Chandanbari union of Boda upazila under Panchaghor district on 09th January’2018 for knowledge gathering regarding organically agriculture crop production. There were total13 person participated among them male staff, female staff & women right holder under SoS project were 6,5 & 2 respectively in the learning visit. All of participants has learned regarding innovative techniques and activities especially vermi compost, heap compost and bokoshi compost production and using technique with specific rate per unit land. Our participants have also learned how to prepare organic pesticide using Neem leaf, Drum stick leaf, Mahogini lead and seeds, Cattle urine and EMU preparation, Bordomixture preparation and apply to control pest. Sex pheromon is an excellent technique to control cucumber fruit flies. EMU is an exceptional liquid bio pesticide which is use to control both insect pest and disease pest successfully of horticulture and agronomy crops.
EMU preparation procedure: There are two kinds of fungus and other materials will be need to prfepare EMU.
One kind of fungus growing procedure: At first boil Anchor pulse then keep in perforated plastic bottle and then the bottle keep in straw heap for seven days.
Another kind of fungus growing procedure: At first boil rice keep in perforated plastic bottle and then the bottle keep in soil under bamboo garden for seven days.
100g sour curd, 1kg molasses, 1litre rice wash water, 50g YEAST and 4 liter fresh water will be kept in plastic jarkin and then above two types of fungus will be add in the container with help of table spoon for keep 7 days. EMU may be spray dilution with water following specific ratio like 0.5 L EMU with 16 L water for vegetable and 03L EMU with 16L water for potato & rice to control disease and insect. EMU are use as a seed treatment reagent to control disease of different types of crops.
Bokashi is a high nutrient contains organic fertilizer and act as a bio pesticide to control disease.
Bokashi compost preparation procedure: 10kg Hen defecation + 10kg rice polish + 10kg rice brand + 10 kg oilcake + 01 L EMU+ 09L water will be keep in plastic bag for 7 days for preparation of organic fertilizer and multiply of EMU fungus. Bokashi compost use rate 03kg per decimal land.
Through the above activities contribute to achieve the following Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) like Good Health and Well-being, Climate Action, Life Below Water and Life on Land.
The visit conducted with leading of Md. Jomil, project coordinator of SoS project and Abdul Kuddus sarker, M&E coordinator of USS was present in the exposure visit.
We have inspired to see the above activities practically and we will try to apply of your technique in our working areas to produce organic vegetable and fruits.
