It is a common myth that paddy requires waterlogged conditions to thrive, but through this technique, we can cultivate the delicate Mushk Budji variety in any corner of Kashmir.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Reshi stressed on embracing change in the face of a growing population and shrinking agricultural land due to urbanisation. \u201cWe must introduce new methods in every field. I conducted this trial with the realisation that our land is diminishing, and it proved to be successful,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What sets his hydroponic paddy cultivation apart is his commitment to organic practices, as he proudly stated, \u201cI have used biology in it and avoided chemical fertilisers.\u201d He urged his fellow farmers to follow suit, especially given the recent Geographical Indication (GI) tag recognition received by the Mushk Budji rice variety, which has further enhanced its value.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>One of the key advantages of hydroponic farming, as pointed out by Zahoor, is its potential for substantial profits. \u201cThe year-round crop production and higher yields make it a lucrative option for farmers. Additionally, the products command higher prices due to their perceived high quality and chemical-free nature,\u201d he remarked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Zahoor advocated for a shift towards \u201crejuvenative agriculture\u201d, highlighting the detrimental effects of pesticides and fertilisers on human health and the environment. \u201cOrganic farming is the need of the hour,\u201d he urged, underlining the significance of growers seeking expert advice to embark on innovative farming ventures\u2014(KNO)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a remarkable feat of innovation and agricultural experimentation, a man in south Kashmir\u2019s Kulgam district has successfully grown the premium short and bold local land-race of rice, Mushk Budji, on the rooftop of his three-storey house using hydroponic techniques, without a speck of traditional soil.
