Organic agriculture is an ancient, healthy, environment friendly practice that uses fertilizers of organic origin such as compost manure, green manure, etc., By adopting organic farming, the land maintains a biological balance with the beneficial insects that act as natural predators for crop pests which in-turn enriches the soil with beneficial microorganisms and earthworms.
The continuous use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has degraded agricultural areas, reduced the quality and taste of the agricultural produce, and has increased the environmental risks, most soils have lost their fertility stability as a result of intensive cropping without comparable nutrient input.
Organic farming is a holistic production management system that minimises health and pollution hazards by avoiding the use of synthetically compounded fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators, etc., Organic farming is based on “Biologically driven nutrients” and helps in the creation of a closed nutrient cycle, which is essential for achieving sustainable agriculture.
