The crop rotation cycle of Millet & Wheat

The crop rotation cycle of Millet & Wheat

Growing the same crop on the same plot year after year depletes specific nutrients and makes the field vulnerable to pests. To maintain the fertility of our 8 acres land, we practice a traditional crop rotation cycle of Millet (Bajra) during the monsoon and Wheat during winter.

Monsoon Cycle: Organic Bajra

Millet is a hardy, drought-tolerant crop that thrives in the sandy-loam soil of Gujarat. It requires very little water and naturally suppresses weeds. Sown in July and harvested in October, Bajra roots penetrate deep, breaking up hard soil layers and increasing organic matter.

Winter Cycle: Premium Wheat

Following the Bajra harvest, we till the soil, enrich it with Jeevamrut, and sow Wheat in November. Harvested in March, it leaves valuable stubble that, when mulched back into the field, builds rich humus.
