Why It's Important?

One of the most significant aspects of Bihu-related farming is its emphasis on natural cycles and biodiversity.

These practices not only enhance soil fertility but also minimize the risk of pest infestations and diseases, reducing the need for synthetic pesticides and fertilizers.
