Organic farming is a production system of crops which avoids the use of synthetic and chemical inputs
like fertilizers, pesticides, growth regulators and livestock feed additives. Organic farming systems depend
mainly on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, off-farm organic
residues, mineral bearing rocks. natural pesticides and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity
and supply important nutrients like N, P, K. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers for decades has
resulted in the decline of organic matter content of soils to less than one per cent. The use of pesticides
has led to pest resurgence and difficulty in controlling weeds. Indiscriminate use of artificial fertilizer and
pesticide has caused severe water and environmental pollution. The residue of chemical is of serious
concern for the safety of food and sustainable production. Organic farming ensures the production of
palatable food free from chemical residues.
Organic farming is a system approach utilizing the natural cycles and biological interactions for crop
production and protection.
