Bascillus Thuringensis is an organic, naturally occuring bacteria found in most soils. They contain tiny crystals in their body, which kill insect larva when consumed by them. Spraying Bt bacteria onto the leaves of plant makes them toxic for caterpillar type pests to consume, this can help control pest infestations without harming non target insects like ladybugs, bees and parasitoid wasps

Fasal amrit is an organic hydrogel we stumbled across while looking for ways to conserve water on the farm. The hydrogel needs to be mixed into soils, where it absorbs water when available and slowly releases it back into the soil as it dries. This saves several rounds of irrigation per season. It also seems to improve the fertility of soil, as it possibly breaks down to release some nutrients. 

Efficient microorganism (or EM) are a culture of microbes isolated from natural sources by Japanese scientists. EM microbes are multipurpose and can be used for soil enhancement, quick and smell free composting, disease prevention (via foliar sprays) and to improve the health of farm animals! The best part is Em can be further multiplied using just water and jaggery,
