Excerpts from the article:
Mallina Ravindra Prasad, a resident of Boddavara in S. Kota mandal of Vizianagaram district, who produces several vegetables and fruits at less production cost...
A bachelor of agriculture science from Bapatla, he chose not to take up some lucrative jobs in banks, but give back to society the knowledge he has acquired by cultivating his 70 acres at his ‘Brindavanam' orchard at Boddavara.
He uses bio-waste like copra, teak leaves, ‘tunga' grass from his own garden to preserve moisture content in the soil.
This allows decomposition of the material and sustains several life forms that help maintain porosity and restoring organic carbon, he explains.
