How organic farming is done?

Organic farming is an environment friendly farming system. Organic means use of only eco friendly products to keep the plants healthy. It will maintain the plant hygiene and also increase the yield without any harmful effect.

It is practice of raising unpolluted crops through the use of manures, bio-fertilizers and bio-pesticides with healthy cropping systems that provide optimum nutrients to plants and keep the pests as well as weeds under control.


In organic farming can be done in ways like:


● Controlling chemicals usage- There is little or no use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and herbicides. Therefore, there is no toxicity due to pollution of crop plants, soil, water or air.


● Soil management- Bio-fertilizers include the nitrogen fixing organism and mineral solubilizing bacteria.


● Weed management- Bio-pesticides are organism or their extracts which repel or kill weeds, insects and other pests.


● Crop diversity- Healthy cropping includes mixed cropping, intercropping and crop rotation.
