Organic
Practices
Ion Exchange Enviro
Farms Limited (IEEFL) is among the first corporates in India to undertake
large scale, bio-intensive organic agri-horticulture. We are equipped
with the resources and experience to undertake and consult on large-scale
organic farming in India.
Our Policy
We are committed to excellence in farming through organic principles.
We care for the environment through sustainable agriculture development
and provide chemical-free, healthy foods to customers.
Vendors and business associates are our partners in progress.
We are also committed to the community around the farm in their agricultural
and socio-economic development.
Fertility
and Nutrition Management
The organic content of the soil on
our Enviro farms is augmented using liberal doses of compost/farmyard
manure and through cover crops such as daincha, sunhemp and pulses that
fix nitrogen in the atmosphere and also provide biomass. Additional nutrient
requirements are met through use of neem and various de-oiled vegetable
cakes.
Pest
and Disease Management
Our eco-friendly organic pest management programme employs various techniques
that include the creation of a natural habitat for beneficial pests and
propagation of beneficial insectaries for release into the ecosystem.
Naturally occurring plant extracts are also used as last resorts where
other non-obtrusive methods fail to deliver. Enviro Farms encourages poly-culture,
and avoids monoculture. Crop rotation also breaks the pest cycle, reducing
the incidence of pests and diseases. When pest incidence threatens to
affect the crop substantially, biological pest and disease control measures
are used.
To eliminate the risk of chemical pesticide hazards in the crops, IEEFL has developed and is marketing a range of organic inputs comprising herbal crop protectors & stimulators, liquid manure and compost, under the ORGANO brand.
Bio-dynamic
Cultivation
Several of our farms follow bio-dynamic methods of cultivation using organic
practices such as crop rotation, recycling through compost and liquid
manures, and increasing plant and animal bio-diversity. Use of special
plant, animal and mineral preparations stimulate and balance vital processes
in soil and plants. These methods lead to a natural reduction of pests
and diseases in plants and animals, and an increase in the nutritive and
health-giving value of food produce. Our company is a member of Demeter
International, an agency promoting bio-dynamic farming world over.
