Can a Tree Grow with Just 1 Litre of Water initially ? This 68-YO Farmer Has Grown 50,000!:- Verma accidentally developed this particular technique of 'Dryland Agroforestry' in 1985, which promotes water use efficiency and maximises production.
The biggest story lies in Verma's own farm. Ten years ago, he planted 600 saplings of pomegranate in one hectare of the land using one litre of water. Today, he sprays water onto the fruits and the survival rate of the trees is 100 per cent.
Verma has planted all kinds of trees, including fruit trees, fodder plants and forest trees.
"Using the one-litre technique, I have also planted Eucalyptus, a tree that requires a lot of water, in a dry land of Rajasthan," claims the farmer.
No wonder that for his unique method of growing trees, Verma received several national and international awards like Award for Innovative Farmer-At international Conference on social perspectives in agricultural research and development (2006), the International Award For Agro Biodiversity by (IDRC) International Development Research Center in Canada (2007), National innovation Foundation-India, Award for Scouting (2005 and 2015)
