The mulching must be done around the area of the coconut farm in rows and columns, then the drip irrigation dispenses water in the mulch. This type of mulching can preserve the soil strength and the amount of water used too. As the water doesn't evaporate very easily...

The Initiation by young farmers Forum and Kumaraguru Institute of agriculture was kicked started with an interactive session on S oil Biology . There were 3 experts, the founder of Panmayam (an organic Farm) a professor from Kumaraguru Institute of agriculture and a soil biology researcher.        They covered Soil Biology from the basics to how soil must be treated for more yield from the physical, chemical and biological characteristics of the types of soil in Southern India. Around 30 people were present with the largely varied understanding of the subject, everyone who came was maintaining a farm and had a lot of experiences to share with us.        The biggest problem suppressing the stable state of soil is the quick eradication of topsoil.
