12. Components of organic farming
• Nutrients management
• Plant protection
• Conversion period
• Certification
13. Constraints of organic farming
•Organic agriculture requires time and well trained extension workers
•market development are government fair and the sole of major super
markets
•Major problem is lack of public awareness of organic food
•Development of viable producer and consumer linkages
•Organic farms spent more on labour .
•Agronomic crops are high fertilizer responsive is also a problem
•Farmer perception ,it is not more economical.
•We can not sudden convince farmer about organic farming
•Cost of production is high
•Lower productivity as comp. with conventional and traditional method.
•Requires skill
•Nutrients are’nt quickly supplied
17. Conclusion
• Organic farming is actually the turning of your spoil into the soil having all
the micro + macronutrients , leading to healthy environment. Organic
farming practices generally have positive impacts on the environment.
Organic farms tend to have higher soil organic matter content and lower
nutrient losses (nitrogen leaching, nitrous oxide emissions and ammonia
emissions) per unit of field area. However, ammonia emissions, nitrogen
leaching and nitrous oxide emissions per product unit were higher from
organic systems. organic farming often has positive effects on species
richness and abundance,
• Organic farming operates without pesticides, herbicides and inorganic
fertilizers, and usually with a more diverse crop rotation. It has been
suggested that this system enhances biodiversity in agricultural landscapes
• Our results show that organic farming often has positive effects on species
richness and abundance,
