Scientific Results

Even after achieving successful results at the field levels in this project, there is a great need to extend the horizons of this project. A systematic study on the consequences of Sustainable Yogic Agriculture by means of Scientific Research was recommended. This will contribute to innovations in the field of Agricultural Research and will guide farmers for any sort of unprecedented challenges. Indeed it will be useful to intensify the participation of farmers on a greater scale while looking into the immediate prospects for the application of these methods..

Important findings of the research on Sustainable Yogic Agriculture

• Improved percentage of Seed Germination
• Marginal increase in Test Weight
• Healthier Root Modulation
• Enhanced Soil Microbiological Activity
• Higher Oil content in Groundnut
• Drop off in the Pest Damage (much lower to Organic module)
• Increased Nutritional Values
• Enhanced Phosphorus content in the Soil
• Increased Energy Values in Vegetables
• Appreciable appearance and taste of Vegetables
• Increased Shelf life in Vegetables
Note: Above mentioned are Comparative findings following Recommended Organic Practices & Recommended General Practices using chemical inputs.

Nutritional Values

Having seen good yields in the farms through the practice of yogic kheti, we have had the samples tested for nutrition content. The following table compares the nutrition values of food for tomato grown through Yogic process and conventional process.

	Yogic Process	Conventional Process
Fat	0.11%	0.20%
Protein	1.13%	0.74%
Carbohydrate	5.36%	4.15%
Total Energy	27.47 Kcal / 100g	19.5 Kcal / 100g
Vitamine C	14.9 mg / 100g	6.05 mg / 100g

* Results from tests conducted at National Agriculture & Food Analysis & Research Institute.

We notice from the results obtained that the food produced through yogic process is better both in terms of energy content (higher energy) and the quality (lower fat).

Further studies including soil testing and nutrition content testing is being conducted in collaboration with S.D.Agricultural University. .

Memorandum of Understanding with Agricultural University:

Agriculture and Rural Development Wing has entered into an Memorandum of Understanding for Agricultural Research project with S.D.Agricultural University, Dantiwada (Gujarat) for 5 years. Scientific Research (Study) will be carried out at different stages of crops for Experimentation of Rajyoga Meditation. The crop pattern will followed by Groundnut, Wheat and Chick Peas (gram) simultaneously.

Results of Organic Farming

• The use of live factors, organic manures and the herbal extracts would control disease and pests.
• The use of compost prepared from animal excreta and crop residue, dung manure, organic manure and wormy manure would increase the production of crop and keep productive capacity of the land intact.
• Increased output of the nourished, tasty and pure crops can be produced even with minimum expenditure.
