Unnao: Four years ago, when a Lucknow-based horticulture institute floated the idea of homa-farming, cultivators in the mango belt of Kakori and Malihabad adopted it in droves.While most of them gave it up to return to agro-chemicals, one odd man stuck it out - practising this ancient Indian farming technique based on the Vedas.

Today Ramesh Chandra Tiwari, a farmer in Unnao district, is reaping the benefits and is thankful to the Central Horticulture Sub-tropical Research Institute (CHSRI) for giving him the idea. The yield has kept increasing year after year on his 12-bigha mango orchard and there are none of the usual pests to be found near the trees.

" The method is an age-old phenomenon invented in India and is described in detail in the Rig Veda, " said Tiwari. " Besides farmers from neighbouring areas, I have also imparted the training to people from Austria, Australia, Turkey, United States, Spain and other countries, " he added.

The term `homa' is derived from the ancient Hindu practice of performing `yajna' or `havan' - by lighting a ritual fire and putting various things in it amid the chanting of Vedic mantras. Homa farming, Tiwari said, is a mix of performing havans and administering organic fertiliser to the crop. Said Tiwari: " My initial investment was high but now my costs are meagre and my profit is increasing every year. " Last month he organised a fair and invited farmers and scientists from around the globe.
