CLOSE TO NATURE

CLOSE TO NATURE

    In the era of modern tech and discoveries, the need to rediscover us has increased, so has the deterioration of nature. Sustainable development is the correct step to take towards protecting nature, We often forget the surrounding habitats when we think of development .We have wrecked enough damage to the delicate balance of environment by ignoring the fact that without it's help any possible progress is not possible . These flaws are the reason why we begin to fear the possible bad outcomes of nature like bigger problems like global heating and unexpected natural disasters                                                                                                                
    Most of the people blame industries as the major pollutants and foes of the environment, but everyone is to fault, as even in every day life, pollution is caused mostly, because of usage of plastics which eventually end up in  water bodies and  increased utilization of vehicles. We  keep disregarding the priorities to nature that each person must uphold. World level conferences which are held only for namesake does not help in implementing something new. Only speeches about preserving the environment is not enough, conservative measures should be executed rather than be told. So the responsibility is our's to take action to save our habitat, the earth                                                                                                
    In this New Year 2022, we should pledge to protect the trees and not to disrupt nature in any way .This could be the only way we can take step towards development. when we look after nature it takes care of us .  

               In bird sanctuaries, the ecological cycle can be noticed more easily. many birds from variably different locations come there during breeding seasons, but many breeding grounds have been turned into wastelands, Thus reducing the the population of the expected groups of birds.These birds have their own ways of helping out the habitat.They help in the maintenance of biodiversity and also are great bio-indicators which point out the status of our environment.

     Mango tree management is very important to achieve maximum profit in this cultivation. It depends on selection of superior varieties along with proper tree management. Some of the varieties grown in India are: Bangalora(kilimuzhu), Alphonsa, Banganpalli, Neelam, Himsagar, Kesar,  Kishen Bhog, Langra. Apart from that recently many hybrids released from agricultural universities.Some of them are Arka Aruna, Arka Anmol, Mallika, Amrapali etc. Accordng to Tamilnadu conditions, Bangalora is the good variety for better yield.

      There are many different techniques also followed to improve the yield in mango cultivation. One of the technique is ultra high density planting (UHDP). Generally the space between the trees are recommended  10m*10m, but in UHDP they recommend only 4.5m*4.5m. In this method we can plant nearly 895 plants per acre. At this technique, its growth is also controlled. In this technique, the trees are not allowed to grow beyond two metre so that we can manage the tree from diseases and pests. It is also easy to pluck fruits.
