This presentation about the agriculture practice before the use of chemical fertilizer and pesticides. the natural practice In use during initial times its actual a part of my academic in agronomy because nowadays we are changing our ways towards organic farming nothing but same practice with different same.

1. Presented by
Pallavi B S
Food technologist

3.  INTODUCTION
 CHARECTERISTICS
 PRE-SOWING PRACTICES
 PEST AND DISEASE MANAGEMENT
 POST-HARVEST MANAGEMENT

4.  WHAT IS ITK ????.
Indigenous technology/traditional
knowledge is transferred from one
generation to another through practice
and to a large extent through oral
communication and therefore remains
confined to some areas , communities
and individuals

5.  Confined to local region
 Tacit knowledge and not easily modifiable
 Transmitted orally or imitation and
demonstration
 Experiential rather than theoretical
knowledge
 Learned through repetition
 Constantly changing

6.  Radish seeds are soaked
overnight in buttermilk before
sowing
 Cut end of sugarcane setts are
plastered with mixture of
honey, ghee, the fat of hogs
and cow dung
 Cucurbits seeds are kept
embedded in fresh cow dung
ball which are then buried deep
in soil for better germination

7.  TULSI: control the blast of paddy ,
control of insect in sapota , guava
 METHI: Control of insect in okra eg:
fruit borer
 CASTER OIL: control of white fly in
cotton stored grain pest control in
pigeon pea
 CHILLIES : Dry chilli smoke for rat
control of wheat
 LEMON: Control of hairy caterpiller ,
aphid control in cotton

8.  GUR OR SUGAR : control of insect in cotton,
control of pod borer in pegionpea
 SALT :control of wilt in pegionpea , control of
khaira disease in paddy
 NEEM: Neem cake use for termite control,
control aphids in mustard by neem twig
 ASH : Used as a insecticides , control of root
feeders and pest
 ONION: use for pest & disease control in
maize pest control in sugarcane

9.  DRYING: Traditional method for reducing the
moisture content
 THRESHING : By beating the grain on threshing
floor
o making donkeys or oxen walk in circles on the
grain on a hard surface
o by using threshing board
 STORAGE: In gunny bags mud bin storage
wooden box storage

11.  Practiced in valleys and foot
hills
 Bench terrace are made across
the slope
 This helps to maintain soil
erosion
 Widely grown crops are rice
and turmeric

12.  Combines water harvesting and targeted
application of organic amendments by the
use of small pits dug into hardwood soil
 Increases the water retention capacity
 Effective in restoring the soil fertility
 Practiced in Africa , Burkina Faso , and Shell

13.  Bamboos divert water from perennieal
springs on hilltops to the lower reaches by
gravity
 Used to irrigate the betel leaves or black
pepper crops

14.  Crop rotation and
intercropping
 Using earth worms and frogs
 FYM added
 Growing nitrogenous fixing
leguminous crops
 Using Feacal pellets of sheep
goat camel
 Using wood ash and animal
urine

15.  COMPOSITION: Ghee ,
milk , curd , cow dung and
cow urine
 APPLICATION: 3% i.e
3kgin 100 lit of water is the
best dose for application in
acre of land 6 lit
panchagaya will be
applied
 Provides nutrient to plant
 Gives resistance of plant
to insect pest

16.  Has great role and scope
 Avoidance of synthetic chemicals and keep
soil alive
 Stress on sustainability
 Offers potential to accomplish organic
agriculture
 To retain soil fertility

18.  Tacit domain
 Multi-lingual forms
 Wide spread illiteracy
 Cultural barriers
 Fear of bio-piracy
 Idea robbery
 Large scale urbanization
 Breakdown of joint family
 Allurement of younger generation towards other
lucrative work
 Lack of recognition of practitioners of ITK
 FAST LIFE AND CHANGING LIFE STYLE
