⦿ Crop selection by soil type (જમીનની પ્રત પ્રમાણે પાકની પસંદગી ) :
Before sowing any crop, we have to plan and decide which crop can grow in our land. Selection of crops according to soil and season such as millet, mug, choli, math, sesame, sorghum as well as diwali crops in kharif season are suitable for sandy, loamy and medium loamy soils. But if heavy soils in which waterlogged soils are selected, the expected yield cannot be obtained.
It is profitable to select groundnut in Saurashtra, paddy, sugarcane in South Gujarat, tobacco in Central Gujarat and cotton diwali in North Gujarat.
⦿ Planned Seed Selection (આયોજન પૂર્વક બીજ પસંદગી) :
It is very important to select the variety after selecting the crop. Selection of high yielding, disease-resistant, pest-resistant and climatic-friendly varieties to avoid the cost of pest control.
⦿ Seed grooming (બીજ માવજત) :
Certified seeds are usually treated with chemicals like Agrosan, Thyrum, Captan. Other than that the seeds are recommended differently. If the seeds are planted properly, the crop yield can be increased by increasing the number of plants in a small area with good germination. E.g. Wheat seeds can be treated against weeds and pulses can be treated with Rhizobium azotobacter culture at low cost.
⦿ Planned use of organic manure (સેન્દ્રિય ખાતરનો આયોજન પૂર્વક ઉપયોગ ) :
Pulses, spices and vegetable crops require less chemical fertilizers. Therefore, he decided which crop to plant in the village by mixing the crop with green manure, vermicompost or manure before sowing the crop in the field to retain the nutrients in it so that more productivity can be achieved by maintaining the fertility of the soil for a longer period of time.
⦿ Timely sowing planning (સમયસર વાવણીનું આયોજન):
By arranging timely sowing as per the recommended time for different crops, the cost can be maintained without crop production. For crops like wheat, the time for timely sowing has been fixed from November 15 to November 3 and for late sowing, the second week of December has been fixed. But if the varieties are sown earlier or later than the scheduled time, the yield is reduced by 21% and 20% respectively.
⦿ Sowing method and spacing (વાવણી પદ્ધતિ અને અંતર):
Not only the number of plants is enough to get more yield per hectare but it is more important how far the fixed plants are arranged per hectare. So it is very important to plan for the least competition between the two plants for nutrients like water, light etc. and get more production as a result.
⦿ Planned land analysis (આયોજન પૂર્વક જમીન પૃથક્કરણ) :
It is very important to know the amount of nutrients required for plants in our soil through soil analysis so that the unnecessary cost of manure can be reduced by planning the amount of fertilizer to be given to the crop. The amount of phosphorus and potash is sufficient in some soils so the unnecessary cost behind such elements can be reduced.
⦿ Planning of irrigation system (પિયત વ્યવસ્થાનું આયોજન) :
Planning of irrigation system is very necessary. Lack of timely irrigation reduces production. Therefore, it is very important to plan as per the recommendation that the crop gets water in case of emergency. It is very important to know when to give water, how much to give and how to give.
⦿ Planned and timely weeding (આયોજન પૂર્વક સમયસર નીંદામણ) :
Weeds are non-essential weeds that grow with the crop and compete with the crop for light, water, nutrients and space, reducing crop yields by 20 to 5%. Hence planning to weed in time to maintain crop production. Is very necessary for. Hence planning to weed in time to maintain crop production. Is very necessary for.
⦿ Planned crop rotation (આયોજન પૂર્વક પાકની ફેરબદલી):
The per capita land is declining due to the ever-increasing population in crop rotation. As a result, farmers adopt intimate farming methods to get more income from short land. As a result, the soil absorbs a lot of nutrients. In such circumstances, it is possible to reduce the consumption of nitrogenous fertilizers, reduce the cost and get higher income if the earlier cereals are planned from the beginning. Proper planning and crop rotation in both irrigated and non-irrigated crops can also benefit from natural nitrogen.
⦿ Pest control planning (રોગ-જીવાત નિયંત્રણમાં આયોજન):
Prior planning for disease control, selection of disease resistant varieties, deep plowing in summer, use of light cages, planting of trap cops. Sowing time should be maintained as well as the use of herbal medicines such as neem or akada should be used to reduce the cost of pest control.
⦿ Harvest planning (કાપણીનું આયોજન):
Keeping in view the timing of harvesting, keeping in view the condition of the crop at the actual place according to its ripening days according to the crop, timely harvesting of the crop at maturity can prevent the fall of dried seeds and reduce the yield. If harvested early, the immature seeds wither and lose weight. Hence timely pruning is essential.
⦿ Planned product storage (આયોજન પૂર્વક ઉત્પાદનનો સંગ્રહ) :
After harvesting at the right time of the crop, plan to dry in the heat of the sun so that the moisture content of the grains remains at 5%. Removal of excess moisture in the crop does not damage the crop during pests and the crop can be stored well.
⦿ Planned value addition (આયોજન પૂર્વક મૂલ્ય વૃદ્ધિ) :
Market prices can be higher if the crop is properly cleaned after the crop is ready. For example, if spoiled, stung or withered fruits are removed from the vegetables and fresh fruits of the same size are sold, the market price can be obtained higher. Apart from this, income can be increased by planning to make various products from crops such as sliced wafers from potatoes, dried chilli powder from chillies, marmalade from mango, pickles, candy from mango, marmalade, ketchup from tomatoes etc.
Thus, if farming is done in a planned manner, it can be made profitable by restoring 'excellent farming, moderate trade and junior jobs'.
