Advice on planting coriander with mustard

Organic farming will increase production capacity
Farmers were stressed on the use of organic fertilizers instead of chemical fertilizers. It was told that applying organic fertilizer prepared from cow dung and cow urine in the fields increases the fertility of the soil and improves the production capacity of crops. Besides, this also reduces costs and keeps the environment safe.
Need to adopt crops that require less water

In such a situation, farmers were advised to cultivate potatoes, wheat and other crops with zero tillage technology.
Emphasis on use of modern equipment in harvesting
