[edit] Agriculture

Pokkali Cyclic Paddy Cultivation Method: After the harvest, the decaying stubbles of the paddy serve as food for the prawns and likewise the prawn excreta make the field fertile. What's really interesting here is that absolutely no pesticides or fertilizers are used in the fields, making it vastly different from the other prevalent farming practices.

Just like the rest of kerala, paddy fields are widely reclaiming in Nayarambalam. Once there were acres of fine wet paddy fields. Pokkali paddy-cum-prawn farming (cyclic farming method) was the traditional practice for farming. This farming method may be one of the most eco-friendly of all farming practices in the world. But what happens these days, nobody takes care about it and paddy fields become infertile for so long years. After 5 or 6 years those infertile fields became reclaimed and sold for huge price.

There is no other crops are cultivated at Nayarambalm. For more info : http://www.hinduonnet.com/thehindu/mp/2002/10/10/stories/2002101000920100.htm Saintthomas 06:18, 15 March 2007 (UTC)
