Making rhizobium bio-fertilizer at home
This video guides how to produce Rhizobium bio-fertilizer at home using legume root nodules,. Rhizobium bacteria are essential for capturing atmospheric nitrogen to nourish plants, yet their natural populations in the soil are often depleted by the use of chemical pesticides and fertilizers,. By selecting healthy, pink-colored nodules and culturing them in boiled milk for three days, farmers can easily multiply these beneficial bacteria,. Mixing the resulting culture with rice bran provides a cost-effective and sustainable way to restore soil fertility and promote healthy plant growth naturally.

Weaver Ant: a natural ecological practice to protect cashew nut plantations
Did you know weaver ants are helpful for pest control? Weaver ants are considered farmers’ friends as they protect crops like cashews from pests. Introducing weaver ants is just one of many techniques used in Agroecological Crop Protection (ACP), which combines the principles of agroecology, Integrated Pest Management (IPM), Organic Agriculture, and regenerative agriculture. This natural solution reduces crop damages, improves yields and nut quality, ends the need to spray chemical pesticides, reduces production costs and increase’s farmers profit margins. Moreover, it maintains the health of farmers and the environment while also improve the resilience of farming systems. Watch this video to learn about weaver ant management techniques and the successful experiences of organic cashew farmers in Preah Vihear province.
