Our Approach – Natueco Science
What is Natueco Farming Science? 
Natueco farming means natural eco-friendly farming. It follows the principles of eco-system networking of nature in our farming system. It is different from organic or natural farming both in philosophy and practice. It offers an alternative to the commercial, heavy chemicals used in farming. It emphasizes harvesting the sun through a critical application of scientific inquiries and experiments that are rooted in the neighborhood resources.
Natueco Farming emphasizes ‘Neighborhood Resource Enrichment’ by using ‘Additive Regeneration’ rather than total dependence on external, commercial inputs. The three relevant aspects of Natueco Farming are listed below:
Enriching soil by:
- Recycling the biomass available in our surroundings
- Establishing a proper energy chain.
ROOTS
Developing and maintaining the white root zones to allow for an efficient absorption of nutrients.
CANOPY
Harvesting the sun through proper canopy management, which will provide optimum photosynthesis.
Natueco Science is based on our current needs of farming in situations where the soil has been heavily depleted. This is one of the fastest methods for regenerating a dead soil into a live soil, full of nutrients, especially in a country like India.
Natueco Principles of Soil Management
In nature it takes 100 – 500 years for humus to be formed in natural forests. Today with erosion, the decline of natural forests and chemical farming, the earth has been depleted of humus. We can produce this humus, termed Nursery Soil, in just 30 – 100 days through the understanding and application of nature’s processes artificially. A good Nursery Soil consists of 50% well decomposed black biomass (organic part) and 50% activated mineral topsoil (inorganic part) by volume. It is a black, light material containing ligno proteins that can be broken into small fragments or crumbs. It has a very good water holding capacity of twice its own weight. The Nursery Soil provides support and delivers water and nutrients to the plant in the most efficient manner. A liter measure of good Nursery Soil should weigh about 400 grams. A greater weight implies that the mineral content is high.
Growing Soil
Healthy soil means healthy plants. When you build and maintain fertile rich soil in organic matter, you lay the groundwork for thriving plants and crops that can develop quickly, resist pests and diseases, and yield a bountiful crop.
The soil serves several functions to the plant. It gives support to the root, supplies nutrients and moisture and provides air circulation to the roots. Only healthy soil will stimulate an excellent root system, leading to a healthy canopy and ultimately the maximum harvest.
