Pandurang & Maitri Phadke - A Champion couple of Natural Groundnut Farming

In the sun-drenched fields of Solapur, Maharashtra, Pandurang Phadke stands as a testament to the power of traditional wisdom in modern agriculture. A dedicated farmer with a profound respect for the land, Pandurang has carved a niche for himself as a pioneer of natural farming, particularly in the cultivation of groundnuts

Forgoing the allure of chemical-based fertilizers and pesticides

Pandurang has embraced an approach rooted in ecological balance and sustainable practices. His philosophy is simple yet profound: nourish the soil, and the soil will nourish the crop. Instead of relying on synthetic inputs, he meticulously prepares and utilizes a rich array of natural amendments. Compost, painstakingly created from farm waste and organic matter, breathes life into his soil, enriching it with essential nutrients and improving its structure. Bio-gas slurry, a potent byproduct of his bio-gas plant, further fortifies the soil, providing a slow-release source of nourishment that promotes robust plant growth and resilience.

Pandurang's groundnut fields are a vibrant example of his commitment. The plants, nurtured by the earth's natural bounty, display a vigor and health that speaks volumes about the efficacy of his methods. He believes that healthy soil translates to healthy plants, and ultimately, a healthy harvest – groundnuts that are not only abundant but also superior in quality and free from harmful chemical residues.

Harmony with the Earth: A Sustainable Legacy

His journey hasn't been without its challenges, but Pandurang's unwavering dedication to natural farming has yielded consistent results and a deep sense of satisfaction. He is not just growing groundnuts; he is cultivating a legacy of sustainable agriculture, demonstrating that harmony with nature can lead to both prosperity and ecological well-being.
