Mucuna is under cultivation as green manure crop in many parts of the world. The Indian farmers have started understanding the importance of this crop for green manuring. The farmers of Rajasthan are observing practically the enrichment of soil by Mucuna plants. In Chhattisgarh the farmers use the soil collected from Mucuna fields in order to make the new fields full of natural nutrients.
Chhattisgarh was among the pioneer states from where Mucuna
cultivation has started. At initial phases the farmers earned much by selling
its seeds to new farmers. Now the planting material business is over and only
real farmers are raising this crop. They are raising it for the end users.
There is constant demand of Mucuna. It is very easy to cultivate. Fences as
well as old trees are used for this climber. Without support it gives poor
yield. Many insects and diseases infest this crop but these are easily managed
through the cow urine and dung based formulations. It is good sign that the
farmers are growing it organically.
