Cotton is a non-food cash crop and profitable too. It is one of the most used raw materials for daily uses since a couple of thousands of years ago. People used it to make their clothes, winter cushions, mattress, and making filters for various reasons.  Let's understand the cotton farming, basic requirements to grow, harvest, and return rate of the cotton crop. Cotton farming and production cost Cotton is a Kharif season crop that doesn't need too much rain or too dry weather to grow. Cotton plants produce fiber and seeds both. The fiber is use for cloth making and seeds use to extract cotton oil.  It is not possible to grow cotton everywhere in the world. We need a proper requirement system to grow cotton. Following are some of the basic requirements and management of the cotton crop. Cotton farming requirements Following are the basic requirements to grow cotton plants- Soil type and pH Although the popular soil for cotton farming is black cotton soil but sometimes alluvial

Naturally, animals like cows, ox, and goats are attracted to green crops in fields. They don't know the purpose of agriculture. For them, the crop is just an easily available fodder.  Although it is not their fault farmers can't let the animals eat their hard work of growing crops throughout the time.  To save the agricultural land from animals, we use agricultural fencing. This fencing restricts the animals outside and provides security for growing crops. Agricultural fencing and installation  It is challenging work to secure the crop area by yourself if you are a beginner. There is a possibility that you can injure yourself. For this, it is good to call the experts in fencing. It doesn't mean that without experts one can't make fencing around the crops but most of the time people do mistakes.  Types of agricultural  fencing There are various types of agricultural fencing based on the purpose. Following are some basic agricultural fencing- Barbed wire fencing Barbed wi

Litchi is a very popular seasonal fruit in moist subtropical regions. It is full of Vitamin-C, potassium, and Copper. Litchi is very healthy for the human body as it contains important elements like carbs, sugar, and fiber. There are very few regions in India where people practice litchi farming. Although litchi farming is a profitable business it takes at least 4 to years for the first harvesting of litchi fruits. A litchi tree can live up to 60 years and can bear litchi fruit for 40 years in its lifetime.  Let's understand litchi farming properly. For that, we will discuss here the requirements, investment, and profit margin of the litchi farming business.  Litchi farming and production per acre A litchi tree has dark green leaves and it can grow up to 12 meters in height. A young litchi tree produces fewer litchi fruits in starting. With growing with time, it increases its overall production throughout the years.  Let's understand the requirements to grow a litchi tree.  Req

These days people are getting excited by watching the misleading videos and attractive thumbnails on the success of the goat farming business in Bihar.  In reality, the goat farming business is not as easy as it seems. Practically there are major factors that decide the fate of the goat farming business in Bihar even after one gets proper training. The problem is people don't get proper information on investment and profit estimation with a proper breed of goat.

Greenhouse farming is a very important way to produce those crops we can't grow in the offseason. Even in the least agricultural friendly conditions, we can grow most of the plant-based vegetables, flowers, fruits, and microgreens in the greenhouse.  Greenhouses provide an important barrier between agricultural areas and sunlight. We can control the sunlight effect on various plants inside the greenhouse. Let's understand how can we grow vegetables inside the greenhouse.  Greenhouse vegetable farming in 1/2 acre We can grow any plant or vine-based vegetables inside greenhouse. One major advantage of greenhouse farming is that we can practice it even on non-agricultural land.  Before starting, we need some requirements to make a greenhouse and process further. We are going to understand the requirements for a poly sheet greenhouse that is easy to make, maintain, and cheaper than a glass greenhouse. Greenhouse vegetable farming setup cost in 1/2 acre In a 1/2 acre area, we need t

With the increasing rate of population, agricultural land is becoming shorter and shorter. In cities, there is very little agricultural land left. In urban areas, people are shifting to animal farming by leaving plant-based agriculture because of less land and less soil fertility. It creates a huge problem for people in cities.  Vertical farming solves the problem of less land and high productivity. The vertical farming method provides space to increase production 4 to 5 times on the same land as we can practice 4-acre agriculture production just in one acre.  Let's understand what is setup required for vertical farming and how much they cost? Vertical farming project setup and cost in 1/4th acre Vertical farming is a way of plant farming in that we create an artificial atmosphere to grow various crops by using all the required components like soil, water, and fertilizers in a precise amount.  One of the best advantages of vertical farming is that we can practice it even on non-agr

With the increasing demand for chicken in the market, it was always difficult to raise chicken faster. In 3 months period, poultry farms' reach was not effective in all the places. But 45 days chicken business plan fulfills the requirement, demand, and supply in the market of chicken.  Let's understand how 45 days chicken poultry farm works and what are the requirements to have a poultry farm. 45 days chicken(Broiler) business plan What is poultry farm business of 45 days? Broiler chickens are one of the fastest-growing chickens. The main reason for the short-term 45 days chicken business plan is demand and supply in the market. Chicken demand is so huge in the market. If we follow poultry farms with more than 3 months of breeds, then it can affect the stability of chickens in the market. It can increase inflation.  One more thing to starting 45 days chicken farm is because it gives a faster profit margin to the owner. Also, 45 days chicken farm is good to raise and handle a hu

There are very less veg options available that have the same or higher percentage of protein than meat. Spirulina is high in protein, quality diet, high in minerals, and we can consume them without cooking. Often, people call it future food.  There are very less farms of spirulina farming so its market price is very high. The spirulina farming business will become more profitable in the future. Let's understand the spirulina farming and project report for 1/4th acre. Spirulina farming  What is spirulina? Spirulina is a sea algae. Spirulina contains one of the highest percentages of protein in all diets. Vitamin B, K, antioxidants, and amino acid are some of the other major components of spirulina. One you start spirulina farming, you can harvest for next 5 months without adding or preparing any new culture.  There are two types of spirulina; human consumption and animal consumption.  We can harvest animal spirulina in the open-air pond but for human consumption, we use either a pol

In the summer season, mangoes are very popular fruits. In India alone, there are more than 1500 varieties of mangoes. Once you plant a mango tree, it can produce mangoes for more than 50 years. Mangoes are healthier, rich, and provide Magnesium and Potassium to the body.  The mango farming business is profitable it doesn't get affected by seasonal storms and natural disasters.  Let's understand the mango farming business in one hectare with estimated investment and profit.  Mango farming and yield Mango farming follows the season-wise production of the cycle. We can get only one harvesting of mangoes in a year.  A mango plant takes 4 to 7 years to bear fruit for the first time. Later, the mango tree bear mangoes per year.  Mango yield per hectare For the first 10 years, mango tree produce a small yield of 10 to 15 kg per cycle. As mango tree start to become older, it produce 10 to 20 times more yield compared to first 10 years. Following is an estimation of yield per hectare fr

Without the conservation of natural resources, it is not possible to sustain the future for the upcoming generation. Most of the things in daily life we use contain a major portion of natural resources.  Out dependency on natural resources is increased with time. Currently, we can't live without the use of natural resources. Day by day, these natural resources are extinction because of overuse. Hence, the conservation of natural resources is very important, and this is practiced with sustainable farming implementations.    5 methods of sustainable agriculture practices in USA Although there are many methods of sustainable agriculture we will discuss here the popular 5 methods.   There are some other complementary methods of sustainable farming but they are not used in general conservation of natural resources. Following are some of the major sustainable farming practices we can implement to conserve and improve availability of natural resources- 1. Permaculture Permaculture is the
