| Abstract: |
Increasing environmental concerns and
emphasis on evergreen revolution calls for sustainable and ecofriendly
practices. Indigenous technical knowledge which is a result of years of
experimentation and observations by farmers along with modern scientific
technology can meet the above mentioned challenges. A study was conducted in
Malwa region of Punjab state of India
to identify the traditional practices and to know the scientific basis of these
practices, if any. Traditional practices were identified from well experienced
farmers from 12 villages through interviews and focus group techniques.
Scientific basis was discussed with biological scientists on three point
continuum. Majority of the identified indigenous practices were said to be
scientifically agreeable, having scientific basis which needs further
standardization.
