About the Role

I'm looking for an experienced agriculturist to advise on my private plot of vegetables and pulses on the outskirts of Ludhiana. The goal is to get more out of the land: better yields, healthier soil and a planned year-round cropping cycle, using organic, chemical-free methods.

Responsibilities

- Assess soil health and arrange soil and water testing. Recommend a plan to improve fertility.
- Design a seasonal cropping and rotation plan for winter and summer vegetables and pulses (such as moong, mash, masoor and chana).
- Recommend suitable PAU varieties, sowing times, spacing and intercropping.
- Advise on organic nutrient management: farmyard manure, vermicompost, green manure and bio-fertilisers.
- Identify pests and diseases early and recommend organic control measures.
- Plan productive irrigation (drip or sprinkler) and how to protect crops in heat, monsoon and frost.
- Guide the on-site helper during field visits and keep a simple record of advice, inputs and yields.




- Give a short monthly update on crop progress, yields and next steps.

Requirements

- B.Sc. or M.Sc. in Agriculture or Horticulture, or equivalent hands-on experience.
- At least 5 years of practical experience with vegetables and/or pulses in Punjab.
- Working knowledge of organic or natural farming practices.
- Familiar with PAU recommendations and the local growing calendar.
- Can visit the farm 1–2 times a week and is reachable by phone or WhatsApp.
- Speaks Punjabi and Hindi.
