Dhanraj Kumawat, a dedicated M.Sc. Horticulture student from the School of Agricultural Sciences at Career Point University, Kota, has successfully published his research paper in the International Journal of Horticulture and Food Science (NAAS Rating: 4.74). His study explores how natural farming practices significantly enhance tomato yield and quality under field conditions.<\/span><\/p>

Titled <\/span>\u201cImpact of Natural Farming Approaches on Productivity of Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum)\u201d<\/b>, the research was conducted at the university\u2019s Instructional Farm during the 2024\u201325 kharif season. The study compared nine natural input treatments combining <\/span>Jeevamrit<\/span><\/i> and <\/span>Ghanjeevamrit<\/span><\/i>\u2014key bio-formulations of Subhash Palekar\u2019s Natural Farming model.<\/span><\/p>

Why This Matters<\/b><\/h3>

The findings validate the efficacy of zero-budget natural farming (ZBNF) practices in increasing productivity without relying on chemical fertilizers. With improved soil health, better water usage, and reduced input costs, these methods support both environmental sustainability and smallholder profitability.<\/span><\/p>

This study also aligns with Career Point University\u2019s mission to promote climate-resilient agriculture through science-based innovation.<\/span><\/p>
