Ley Farming or Alternate Husbandry:An Ecofriendly System

Ley farming is an agricultural system where the field is alternately seeded for grain and left fallow. Another name for the method is “alternate husbandry”.

In ley farming, the field is alternately used for grain or other cash crops for a number of years and “laid down to ley” i.e. left fallow, used for growing hay or used for pasture for another number of years. After that period it is again ploughed and used for cash/field crops.

During the fallow/pasture period the soil is filled with roots of grasses and other plants. New ploughing mixes them with the soil and also increases the amount of nitrogen in the ground especially when leguminous forages are used, as these have the ability of fixing atmospheric nitrogen into the soil via the help of bacteria living symbiotically in their root nodules, removing need of artificial nitrogen fertilizers. It also disturbs the life cycle of pests.

It also protects soil against degradation (erosion) by maintaining constant soil coverage.

It can work as an an alternate farming system for sustainability in the  arid zone.

Main Benefits :
• improved soil fertility and structure
• reduced erosion and land degradation
• more efficient use of natural resources
• improved weed, insect and disease control
• more reliable crop and animal production
• increased options and flexibility

Most are just scraps and can go into the paper recycling box, but I found a couple of interesting things tonight.

One was the notes for a talk I gave during my PhD to fellow postgraduate students about the difficulties of identifying individuals in the past. This came out of my Masters dissertation, where I had built a very large database of pursuers and defendants in 17th century court cases. There are many references to people with the same name, some would be to the same person multiple times, but more often than not references are to different people…

This morning, there was a short report in the Mumbai Mirror about two girls having been arrested for comments one of them made, and the other ‘liked’, on Facebook about Bal Thackeray:

Police on Sunday arrested a 21-year-old girl for questioning the total shutdown in the city for Bal Thackeray’s funeral on her Facebook account. Another girl who ‘liked’ the comment was also arrested.

The duo were booked under Section 295 (a) of the IPC (for hurting religious sentiments) and Section 64 (a) of the Information Technology Act, 2000. Though the girl withdrew her comment and apologised, a mob of some 2,000 Shiv Sena workers attacked and ransacked her uncle’s orthopaedic clinic at Palghar.

“Her comment said people like Thackeray are born and die daily and one should not observe a bandh for that,” said PI Uttam Sonawane.

What provisions of law were used?
