Importance of Plants and Planting in Agri-Tourism Center

If there is an Indian silk tree on the farm dam or in the field, then the insects on the crop in the field can be controlled to some extent. What is the relationship between Indian silk tree and pests in agriculture? The Indian silk tree is a very beautiful flower. When this tree blooms, it looks very attractive. More than twenty species of birds are attracted to this tree. Even when it is not in bloom, the tree is still an attraction for birds. The leafy leaves and spreading branches are very useful for birds to build their nests. Birds on farms have often been seen as a nuisance.

However, for pest control in agriculture, these birds are better than any pesticide. When the chicks hatch, their mother feeds them more than fifty larvae a day. This proportion varies among different birds. The point is, if there are no trees that attract birds to the farm, the number of insects in the farm is abundance. No one is keen to see chemical farming in agri-tourism, so trees should be planted in the suburbs, on dams, in farms to attract birds. There are many trees such as Butea monosperma or Palash, Indian coral, Golden Shower, Indian silk, Indian plum, gum arabic tree, auri.

The surplus yield from your farm is also depends on the number of hives present in your suburbs. In areas where there are more bee hives, the yield of the farm is definitely higher than others. Rainwater, soil, weather will all be the same, but there are honeycombs in one area and not in another. On the other hand, honey yields can vary from 20% to 50%. Of course, this ratio varies from crop to crop. The bees do the pollination very well. Crops with stamens and stamens in different flowers require a large amount of external factors like bees for pollination.

They cannot be easily pollinated by wind. This requires bees and similar small insects, beetles. If you want bee hives in your farm, you should plant Neem, Ain or Saada, Arjun, Mango, Terminalia bellirica, Palas, Indian Coral Tree, Rita. However, the recent increase in the use of pesticides has greatly reduced the number of bees. Therefore, along with planting trees, it is also important to control pesticide spraying. Nitrogen deficiency is a major impediment to crop growth. The lower the nitrogen content, the smaller the crop, the lower the fruit-flower retention in the crop. It reduces the income. For this it is advisable to change the cropping pattern or take mixed crops. If there are dicotyledonous plants on the farm dam, the nitrogen required for agriculture can be easily obtained. If trees like Bidi leaf, Lebbeck, Albizia procera, Sal, blackboard tree, Senegalia catechuare on the embankment, then the nodules on the roots of these trees help in maintaining the nitrogen content in the soil.

In addition to this, the farm shall have the other varieties of trees on its embankments, which have a lot of leaves, can grow rapidly, and prone to abscission process. They are Thespesia populnea, Terminalia bellirica, Ain, etc. From which green manure can be made. If agriculture is to be made a subject of tourism along with increasing agricultural income, then trees such as Queen’s Flower, burflower-tree, some of the attractive bamboo varieties should be planted in the field. Some graceful growing trees should be planted under the trees to accommodate the tourists, while there should also be some trees which can be easily climbed by small children. There shall be some trees which can provide edible items. Considering all these factors, if all kinds of trees are planted in the fields and dams, then agriculture will definitely be useful for tourism.
