10 Drum Theory
Ten Drum Theory is a sustainable farming method designed to improve soil fertility, plant health, and crop immunity. It involves preparing natural solutions (drums) that are applied either through soil application (irrigation) or foliar spraying.
Soil Application Drums (Through Drip or Furrow Irrigation):
1. Humic Acid Solution:
Promotes white root growth for better water and nutrient absorption.
2. Fulvic Acid Solution:
Works as a chelator, helping plants absorb micronutrients effectively.
3. D.F. 1 Solution:
Supplies essential micronutrients required for healthy crop growth.
4. Decomposer Solution:
Activates the topsoil layer, accelerating organic matter decomposition and enhancing soil health.
5. Bacterial / Poultry Slurry:
Enhances nutrient availability, improves soil porosity and aeration, supporting root growth.
6. E.M. 2 Solution:
Improves lower soil layer aeration, ensuring proper water and air circulation.
7. E.M. Chicken Extract:
Provides Nitrogen (N) and Phosphorus (P) – vital nutrients for crop growth.
8. E.M. Seven-Grain Slurry:
Source of organic micronutrients, prepared from diverse grains for balanced nutrition.
Foliar Spray Drums (For Plant Immunity & Pest Control):
(Prepared with Effective Microorganisms (E.M.) through anaerobic fermentation, avoiding foul odor)
1. E.M. 2 Solution:
Used to prepare extracts and maintain pH balance for better effectiveness.
2. E.M. Dasparni (ई एम दशपर्णी अर्क)/ (Ten-Leaf) Extract:
Natural pesticide for disease & pest control (made from neem, custard apple, and other bitter leaves).
3. E.M. Amil Extract (इ एम अमील अर्क):
Specifically effective for mealybug control.
4. E.M. Vemil Extract (ई एम वेमिल अर्क):
Controls red mite infestations.
5. E.M. Desikelp (इ एम देशी केल्प):
Functions as a plant tonic, boosting growth and vigor.
6. E.M. Fruit Extract (इ एम फळ अर्क):
Rich in Cytokinin; acts as a tonic, enhances cell division, and promotes growth.
7. E.M. Crab Extract (इ एम खेकडा अर्क):
Helps in disease prevention and control. Rich source of calcium.
8. E.M. Fish Extract (इ एम मासा अर्क):
Provides amino acids, improving plant growth and immunity.
Benefits of Ten Drum Theory:
1. Improves soil structure and fertility.
2. Enhances nutrient availability and uptake.
3. Increases root growth and aeration.
4. Boosts plant resistance against pests and diseases.
5. Reduces dependency on chemical fertilizers & pesticides.
6. Supports sustainable and eco-friendly farming.
7. Reduce 50 % cost on nutrition management and plant protection.
