Shade
Coffee is planted under double canopy of
shade. Much of the original jungle trees, are
intact. Silver oak is used as standards for
pepper vines. As a consequence of the tree
cover, the bird-life on this estate is an
ornithologist’s delight.
Water Management
There are 52 Check dams
constructed in the estate,
which help to conserve water
during summer season for
irrigation. Such water
harvesting techniques
have also helped to raise
the water table in the
farm. The water
conservation efforts are
considered as exemplary,
with periodic de-silting
of check dams to
maintain the ecological
balance.
Soil Conservation
Works
Revetment walls have
been constructed
throughout the Estate
to prevent soil erosion
during monsoon
season.
The rocky areas and wastelands on the estate
have been covered with soil to prevent heat
radiation. These are called "Shelter Belts"and
these reclaimed lands are planted with grass
and used for grazing of cattle.
Situated in a pristine, natural environment,
the air and water at Poabs Organic Estates
is completely reherit and unpelluted. The local geography
ensures that there is no scope of pollution
from external sources; organic processes
ensure that farm outputs are non-polluting,
thereby preserving the ecology of the region.
