He also explained the method of an experiment in which the wheat and gram seed will be sown in two vessels. One vessel will be kept in a room and the other will be kept in Yagya Shala where Yagya will be performed and mantras will be chanted. After a certain period of time, the difference between the growth of plants will be analysed and recorded.

Professor Tiwari said that research work like this is a need in modern times as the chemical fertilizer being used in modern times is affecting the fertility of the soil. The use of natural manure is essential to maintain the fertility of the soil. The farmers need to follow the traditional methods of farming and natural manure to keep the environment safe. He believes that the farmers would appreciate the traditional methods of agriculture.
