A few years back, a video went viral on Facebook in which little charcoal balls were being thrown into the open by Kenyan kids and people. Those balls virtually had seeds inside. The charcoal no longer merely protected the seed but also supplied initial vitamins to the sapling after it commenced germinating, thereby making a strong increase and better chances of its survival.
Little did everyone recognize that quickly, those seed-balls would locate their location in the Surguja region of northern Chhattisgarh.
Currently, the seed ball input approach is being tested in Bhoramdeo Natural World Sanctuary, Barnawapara Sanctuary, and Jungle Safari.
“In 2018, Dr. Daniela, a biologist from Kenya, had visited Surguja who had brought us to the technique, which we found thrilling and adopted it,” said Chief Conservator of Forest (CCF) KK Bisen, while adding the outcomes had been pretty effective and inspiring, with approximately 80 in line with cent fulfillment charge.
“This is an inspiring, cost-effective approach wherein seeds are placed inside fertile soil/nutrient-stuffed small balls that are then dried and stored. It is then dispersed, which starts offevolved germinating after receiving the first rain showers. Through this method, the seeds develop higher than standard sowing,” Dr. Lalji Singh, Head of Department Forestry Indira Gandhi Agriculture University Raipur, said.
According to Dr. Singh, saplings germinated from seed balls are much more sturdy and wholesome than those from normal seeds.
CCF Biden stated, “In Jungle Safari, we’ve prepared 50,000 seed balls ready to be sprinkled.” The department is trying to transfer this method to the villagers. At the village stage, uncooked materials are readily available, and the simplest requirement is the expertise of this method.
He assured me that if everyone wanted to look at them, they could take 25 seed balls. “They may get 25 saplings out of these 25 seed balls. The best factor is that those saplings should be included from grazing and fire,” CCF Biden concluded.
