Today we have taken grade 5th class children to Peda Ramabhadrapuram as part of fieldtrip to show the different types of fields. Mr.Nageswar, owner of the field, explained the way of cultivating crops, like Paddy, beans, sugar cane, betel leaves etc.
Rice grows better in clayey and loamy soil which can hold plenty of water. Paddy crop can be grown twice in a year with plenty of the water. Dec or Jan is the months for harvesting. Children have observed the fully harvested paddy in the field. They were growing alternate crops too. The Children were explained about crop Rotation which helps to increase the soil fertility
They also observed the teak, black berry, neem trees, which are used for furniture.
They also visited a betel leave farm which is famous for its cultivation in and around our Tuni town and exported to different places Children understood that these plants can grow in a shady area as, climbers. The children have learnt that “Farmer the back bone of our country” So Respect the Farmers.
