Farmers usually cultivate various crops in their fields so that they can benefit more according to the season. However, a very practical aspect for farmers is that they can earn a good profit by cultivating other things on the fallow land of their fields. One such thing is the popular tree. By cultivating popular trees, farmers can make significant profits. Farmers can plant popular trees on the boundaries of their fields. When the tree grows well, its wood can be sold. In fact, plywood is made from the wood of this tree, and it can be sold at good prices. This increases the income of the farmers.
Farmers in the Bijnor district of Uttar Pradesh are doing the same. More than 300 farmers there are now increasing their income by planting popular tree saplings on the boundaries of their fields. Because the cultivation of popular trees is proving to be a profitable deal for these farmers. According to information, until a few years ago, farmers used to plant a considerable number of popular tree saplings in their fields. However, when the price of wood decreased, farmers turned away from it. Now, the price of wood has increased again.
A special thing for farmers is that buying good popular saplings reduces the risk. The price of a popular sapling is around 41 rupees. Additionally, a popular tree is ready in four years. Farmers can get a popular tree for about 3,000 rupees.
Can plant 50 saplings: According to experts, 50 popular saplings can be planted in one acre of land. In such fields, any crop can be sown alongside popular trees for up to four years. One tree yields up to three quintals in weight. Even if an average weight of three quintals is obtained, trees can be sold for more than two lakh rupees along with other crops in one acre. Farmers can also plant saplings on the boundaries of their fields.
