An outreach programme aims to educate farmers about the benefits of ploughing rice stubble into the soil and incorporating green manure crops such as sunn hemp - as well as other sustainable practices. Groups of farmers are formed, and they are assisted by various organisations including the Land Development Department …
Sunn hemp (Crotalaria juncea) has been promoted by the Land Development Department as a green manure plant with the objectives of increasing soil organic matter, improving soil fertility and reducing salinity levels.
The approach is to develop a simple groundwater pumping model for irrigation, on the basis of cooperation and knowledge sharing between government agencies and farmers, that addresses the risk and prevention of off-site salination.
