It is perhaps Subhash Palekar’s greatest contribution to natural farming (after Jeevamrutha, if not even bigger) – the cropping patterns that are
included in his books for various horticultural crops, vegetables, grains, cereals, cash crops etc.
These patterns are plantation blueprints that not just provide names of possible inter crops but provide precise placement and distance between
main crops and the different inter crops that have been carefully selected to work in a synergistic relationship to provide nutrient / shade / support to
other crops.
See, for example, the pattern attached in this post that he calls “Multi Cropping Millionaire Pattern of Coconut Plantation.” It includes coconut as
the main crop (both tall and dwarf varieties) and seven inter crops namely Gliricidia, Vanilla, Arecanut, Black Pepper, Banana, Coffee and Chilli. (this
is similar to pattern in the video but not the same)
The following video is a testimonial to the success of Subhash Palekar’s cropping patterns and how profitable they are. (the description below is by
the person who recorded and posted the video to YouTube)
Video Description (video included below this text)
Sri Krishnappa Dasappa Gowda has developed this model in 5 acres. He has divided that 5 acres into equal blocks of 36ft X 36ft. In this video, he
explains that in each block of 36 ft x 36 ft (which is further divided into four 9ft X 9ft sub-blocks) he is growing around 170 [plants and] trees.
In that he is explaining about the yield he is getting in a 9ft x 9 ft portion of land (one sub-block). He planted 1 Banana tree, 4 Arecanut Trees, 4 Black
pepper creepers climbing on Arecanut trees, 2 Coffee plants, 2 Gliricidia trees, 2 Vanilla creepers climbing on Gliricidia trees & 32 Ginger plants in
each 9ft X 9ft area.
He says that the Yield from:
(1) 1 Banana Tree - 10 Kg X Rs.20/- = Rs. 200=00
(2) 4 Arecanut Trees - 25 Kg x 4 Trees x Rs.15/- = Rs.1500=00
(3) 2 Vanilla creepers + 2 Gliricidia Trees - 50 gms x 2 trees x Rs.3/- = Rs. 300=00
(4) 4 Black Pepper creepers - 1 Kg x 4 x Rs.400/- = Rs.1600=00
(5) 2 Coffee plants - 2 Kg x 2 Plants x Rs.80/- = Rs. 320=00
(6) 32 Ginger plants - 0.15 kg x 32 x Rs.100/- = (Rs. 480=00) (This income Rs.480/- is utilized for expenses)
Total income from 9ft x 9 ft (Sub- block) land = Rs.3800 = 00
So, for each 36ft x 36ft block (4 Sub-blocks + 1 Coconut tree + 1 Mosambi tree) the total income is approximately Rs.18000 = 00.
Explanation:- income from each 9ft X 9ft sub-block = Rs.15,200/- In addition to these blocks he planted 1 Mosambi (citrus) tree and 1 Coconut Tree
in each 36ft X 36ft block and the income from them is Rs.2000/- and Rs.1000/- respectively. So, the total income from each 36ft X 36ft Block is
Rs.18,200/- and rounded off to Rs.18,000/-
For 1 acre there are 33 similar blocks like this. So, the total income per acre is Rs.6 Lakh approx. (Rs.18,200/- X 33 blocks = Rs.6,00,600/- and
rounded off to 6 Lakhs).
CONCLUSION : He doesn’t have any borewell in his farm and he says that his land is a double wet land and mostly it is rainfed, canal water is used
very rarely during peak summer. Water consumption is 10% of regular farming. He suggests that all the farmers should adopt similar Natural Farming
Methods and grow plants & crops suitable for their local climate and reap money. Wish you all the best .

Subhash Palekar’s book list is also attached. They are available in English, Kannad, Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi and Marathi. Also heard of
Punjabi translation under progress a couple of years ago, you may check with the numbers included if that interests you.

Hello newbie447,
Thanks for the post and the video, it is very encouraging.
I am a little confused by the numbers, though. If each 9ft x 9ft sub-block yields Rs. 3,800 then the income from an acre should be much more than 6
lakhs. Each 36ft x 36ft block has 16 sub-blocks of 9ft x 9ft. If you imagine a square of 36ft x 36ft like in the picture from Palekarji’s book, you can fit 4
squares of 9ft x 9ft along its length and 4 squares along the breadth - a total of 16 squares. By my calculations, you should get Rs.60,800 + Rs.2,000
(citrus) + Rs.1,000 (coconut) from a 36ft x 36ft block. The income from an acre should be around Rs. 21 lakhs! To boot, no cubicles!
Cheers,
Karthik

Hi Newbie…There are 6 farmers I know that have moved away from Palekar and 2 have modified the method. I think I’m unable to make my point
effectively here. The point is that there is no one best way of farming/organic farming. And Palekars insistence that his method is the only universal
truth is what I don’t appreciate. Why spread factual inaccuracies about vermicompost and other such things.
Regarding the 5 layer model. It seems that Krishnappa has implemented it, why does he not come out with yield & revenue data from the past 5
years, why does he dodge the question. The same with his sugarcane model. Let me give you a contrasting example. There is a sugarcane farmer
called Suresh Desai, of-course he is an organic farmer and developed a water efficient way of growing sugarcane with inter-crops. He clearly
demonstrates that hard data backed by experience of income and costs. I’m trying to get his presentation and will post it here for record.
If I’m claiming an income of 6 laks per acre, the burden of proof is on me and I have to present the data. Why don’t people question Krishnappa and
request him to explain.
Due see the danger of exaggerated claims ?

adding that,
make own study, gather all knowledge, refine it and do whatever method feel to fit in small area of own farm as an experience. if success then switch
over to entire farm gradually. we have classic examples of Savera farms, and others.
from my understanding, Palekar method is more or same of mirror image the ecological science prevailing in forest. we can not entirely copy life style
of tribes to urban or vice verse. if we compare life of tribes it may seems more healthy, less expensive but same time life productivity in our eyes less.
We are trying to copy tribes life targeting monitory yield of an urban people. Some time I feel the same view on palekar method.
better we blend it more better way to get an optimum sustainability, viability and optimum results

Guys,
This is how I have understood it:
Every farm has an innate productivity based on a number of factors (soil, water, sunlight, wind). To think that the farmer is responsible for the yield on
his/her farm is nothing short of arrogance. Human effort is one of the contributing factors. You can marginally improve/ decrease this productivity by
human efforts (/lack of it) - natural/ chemical. Doesn’t matter.
You take two plots of the same size in two different places, plant the same crops, apply the same methodology (natural/ chemical), provide similar
amounts of water and I am sure you will get two different yields.
What is of utmost importance is the fact that you are enjoying what you are doing, trying to add value to the environment around you by not polluting
and at the same time, making a decent living out of your efforts. That’s all that matters. Compare your yields with your neighbors and if you are
producing on par or better than the surrounding farms, you are doing well! Don’t set targets and get disappointed.
In the end analysis, doen’t matter how much you feed or what you feed a Malenadu Gidda cow, it won’t yield 25 litres a day like a HF/ Jersey! You
can make it the best Malenadu Gidda cow around and be proud of the fact.

Hi Newbie…There are 6 farmers I know that have moved away from Palekar and 2 have modified the method.

Is it possible to share contact details of farmers. I want to go bottom of this. Please PM me the contact details.
I am neither Sri. Palekars student nor follower. I am on the persuit of truth. None of you broke my heart . In fact I am thank full for you all for the
prallell thinking.
Why I was convinced with sri.Palekar method is :

1.The method is cheap, natural, less labour intesive etc.
2. Making the land fertile with populating microorganisms. He has re-invented the wheel.
3.There is another Pinoy(philiphines) method similar to this. They prepare IMO which works like jeevamrith check below link for alternative methods
car.da.gov.ph/index.php?option=c … mitstart=2
I condemn sri.palekars habit of criticising organic farmers and university staff with stong words.
I agree the point Sri.Palekars 5 books can be compressed and made one book. Lot of points are repeated again and again and again…

Good discussion and nice perspectives!

Why not the Bangalore folks team up to visit the farms and ‘plough out’ the facts? I know subramanian.g.r was already doing something on those
lines: farmnest.com/forum/new-trends-in … rm-trail!/

For some reason my reply is not be seen in the thread! May I forgot to hit the Post button…
I need to leave right now and came online for a quick glance of the discussion…
My take is that the numbers are way too exaggerated and if Mr. Krishnappa or anyone else claims to earn 6 Lahks/Acre then they would be living in a
mansion and driving a Porsche!
Anyways good discussion and some well thought out points!
I would also be interested to know what failed in Palekar’s method since I just started implementing the same. I would like to learn from the mistake
the other 6 farmer friends committed.
Thanks
Biju
