2. Developer of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology- The Man
behind Silent Revolution in Scientific Indian Organic Movement
Dr. Phalguni Das Biswas is the Pioneer in Organic Farming in India in
terms of providing a Comprehensive Organic Package of Practice at an
Affordable Cost to the Indian Organic Growers. Inhana Rational
Farming Technology as developed by Dr. P. Das Biswas, Founder
Director of Inhana Organic Research foundation and a noted scientist; is
an unique Organic Package of Practice which blends ancient wisdom
with scientific knowledge, ensuring an effective road map for successful
and large scale organic agriculture (Barik et al, 2014).
The technology provides a nature receptive pathway for crop production taking
into account the interrelated and integrated relationships of all the components of the
ecosystem (Chatterjee et al, 2014), which ultimately leads to ecological improvement thereby
ensuring economic sustainability. IRF is probably the only package of practice which
provides complete solutions for organic farming from seed showing to crop harvest in an
effective and economic manner (Barik et al, 2014a). Presently more than 30 percent of total
certified organic tea in India is produced under IRF technology. Details about the
technology was documented by different researchers working in the tea sector as well as
general agriculture (Seal et al, 2012; Barik et al, 2014a; 2014b; Chatterjee et al, 2014, Dolui et al,
2014, Bera et al, 2014).
3. Developement of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF) Technology- A Journey
Towards Reality .
The journey of the inventor of Inhana Rational Farming (IRF)
Technology started about 15 years back in 1998 for the quest of
realizing Nature’s symphony in the guiding light of Indian
Philosophy. An unique blend of Ancient Indian Wisdom with
Modern Science gave birth to a new, comprehensive, nature
receptive but a truly Scientific Farming Technology – Rational
Farming® Technology. A scientific exploration as well as practical
demonstration of IRF Technology showed magical results in tea -
one of the most challenging sector in Agriculture in terms of its
multiple problems, which remained unanswered in chemical
farming. If the success is to be described in a single sentence
then we may say that this Technology (IRF) is the only answer to
get rid of the declining soil productivity and increasing food
chain toxicity. At the same time this Technology proves that
‘Ecological Sustainability Brings Economical Sustainability’.
Today the Technology has been successfully demonstrated in
cereals, pulses and vegetables under different agro-ecological
system and is probably the only Organic Farming Technology in
India which can assure Crop Sustainability in most Economical
manner that too without any time lag (IORF, 2013).
4. Energization of the Soil System i.e.,
enabling the soil to function naturally and in
the most effective manner as an effective
growth medium for plants.
Energization of the Plant System i.e., the
plants become efficient in optimum
extraction, utilization and assimilation of
nutrients as well as enhancement of the
biochemical and structural defense of the
plant system through the activation of the
plants host defense mechanism.

5. …………All search leads to the MAN who’s pioneer work on energy
efficient sustainable organic farming gave birth to world's only Carbon
Neutral Tea Estate.
…………..The ‘ONE’ who pioneered an effective an scientific
programme for reducing chemical load, enabling approx. 30 to 35%
reduction of Pesticide load in the conventional (under chemical
practice) tea gardens very 1st

Dr. P. Das Biswas has not only been the Advocator of the Relevance of
Plant Resilience towards Climate Change Mitigation but has Demonstrated
it Practically over his Decade Association with
Organic Agriculture…………………..
