Feasibility of a self-reliant farming system along with design aspects was worked out for small holder farm
(1ha) in high rainfall areas (1500 mm). Vermicompost need was low when estimated based on the
recommended dose of N, P and K as compared to the concept of nutrient removal. Amount of vermicompost
required for meeting nutrient requirement of rice-legume cropping system (rice-blackgram 5.1 t ha and
rice-groundnut 8.8 t ha ) may be based on amount of N removed to strike a balance between high
requirement for K and low requirement for P. For rice-maize cropping sequence, vermicompost need may
be 12 t ha by striking a balance between nutrient removal concept (15.9 t ha ) and state recommendation
(7.7 t ha ). Growing of crop for rice, inclusion of legume crop after rice and production of
vermicompost is likely to meet the plant nutrient requirement. In 1 ha rainfedfarm, 90% area can be used for
field crop including legume shrub and fodder on field bund. Remaining 10% area for water harvesting pond
and dyke. After harvest of rice, growing of blackram (45% area), groundnut (15% area) and spring
maize (30% area) could meet animal feed besides the demand for farm family. To produce 8 t vermicompost,
raw materials can be obtained from boundary plantation of (10 t fresh vegetation from 4 cuttings
of 500 trees @5 kg tree ) and raw cow dung and bedding material.
