How It Works

At Samanvita, we blend ancient Vedic wisdom with modern agricultural practices to create a sustainable, productive, and environmentally friendly farming system. Here’s how our unique approach works:

Soil Health and Preparation

Soil Testing

We begin by testing the soil to understand its nutrient composition and pH levels.

Natural Amendments

Based on the soil tests, we add organic matter and natural amendments, such as compost, manure, and biofertilizers, to enrich the soil and enhance its fertility.

Minimal Tillage

To preserve soil structure and microbial life, we practice minimal tillage, which helps maintain soil health and prevent erosion.

Crop Diversification

Crop Rotation

We implement crop rotation to prevent soil depletion, manage pests, and improve soil fertility.

Intercropping

By growing multiple crops together, we maximize the use of space, reduce weed competition, and enhance biodiversity.

Cover Cropping

Cover crops are planted to protect and enrich the soil during off-seasons, preventing erosion and improving soil structure.

Organic Practices

Natural Fertilizers:We use compost, green manure, and other organic fertilizers to provide essential nutrients to the crops.
Pest Management: Our pest management strategy relies on natural predators, beneficial insects, and organic repellents to control pests without harming the environment.
Weed Control: We use manual weeding, mulching, and cover crops to manage weeds naturally and effectively.

Livestock Integration, Aquaculture and Water Management

Animal Husbandry:Livestock is an integral part of our farming system. Animals provide manure for fertilization, and their grazing helps manage cover crops and weeds.
Integrated Aquaculture: We integrate fish farming with crop production to create a synergistic system where fish waste provides nutrients for plants, and plants help filter and purify water.
Water Conservation: Techniques such as drip irrigation, rainwater harvesting, and efficient water management practices are employed to conserve water and ensure its optimal use.

Agroforestry

Tree Integration:Trees and shrubs are incorporated into our farming systems to provide shade, improve soil health, and enhance biodiversity.
Sustainable Harvesting: We practice sustainable harvesting of tree products, ensuring long-term productivity and ecological balance.
