Organic Farming
It is the practice of raising crops which have not been polluted with
the use of manures, biofertilizers and biopesticides. Instead healthy cropping
systems that provide optimum nutrients to plants and keep the pests as well as
weeds under control are used. In organic farming 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. Organic wastes are recycled in the form of manure
Biofertilizers include the nitrogen fixing organisms (bacteria and blue green algae
and mineral solubilizing bacteria. Biopesticides are organisms or their extracts
which repel or kill weeds, insects and other pests, e.g., azardirachtin (Morgosa on
Neem), pyrethrum (chrysanthemum), thurioside (bacterium Bacillus thurgensis
Neem leaves are often used in grain storage as biopesticides. Healthy cropping
includes mixed cropping, intercropping and crop rotation. These cropping systems
help in controlling insects, pests and weeds.
