14. Top 10 Reasons to Support Natural Farming in the 21st Century
1. Reduce The Toxic Load: Keep Chemicals Out of the Air, Water, Soil and our Bodies.
2. Reduce if Not Eliminate Off Farm Pollution.
3. Protect Future Generations
4. Build Healthy Soil
5. Taste Better and Truer Flavor
6. Assist Family Farmers of all Sizes
7. Avoid Hasty and Poor Science in Your Food
8. Eating with a Sense of Place
9. Promote Biodiversity
10. Celebrate the Culture of Agriculture

15. Natural Farming Respect for Life
Natural Farming respects life. It opposes human
exploitation on life. Ironicaly it may sound; respecting
the nature of the life is the best way to achieve top
quality and yield. We prevent disease rather than
curing with medicines.

16. High Quality
Natural Farming products have high quality, good taste and
better yield. People commonly think that by converting to
organic farming you will have smaller yields, lower quality
and smaller-sized fruits. In Natural Farming it is the
opposite. We do not go back to the past; we take a leap into
the future.
Natural Farming products have much higher nutritional
contents. Protein, amino acid, crude fat and other essential
nutrient were identified to be as much as 300 percent
higher than ordinary products. Chemical residue such as
nitrate is almost undetectable

17. Natural Farming Methods No Pesticide
Natural Farming does not use pesticide. Pesticides do not
only kill insects; they reside in the soil and fruit. When
absorbed, it can do serious harm to our bodies and even
our next generations.
Instead of using toxic chemicals, we use light, alcohol,
aroma, poisonous plant and so forth to control pests. More
surprisingly, an ecology that recovered the natural balance
will drop in the pests and disease occurrence. Natural
Farming does precisely that.

18. No Herbicide
Natural Farming does not use herbicide. Killing the weeds
with chemical is not the only solution nor is it wise.
Herbicide is lethal to human. How can it only kill the
weeds?
Natural Farming uses the weeds rather than killing them.
We actually grow the wild grass such as rye and clover for
mulching. Natural Farming orchards are green with grass
growing between the fruit trees. The grass prevents soil
erosion, holds moisture, propagates microorganism,
produces organic fertilizer, improves soil ventilation and
suppresses the pests. How can it only be a thief of
nutrients?

19. No Tillage
Natural Farming does not till the land. Instead of using
machines, we use earthworms, microorganisms and small
animals. Machine can plow 20 centimeters at best, whereas
earthworms will dig 7 meters. The excretions of the earthworms
turn into the best soil.
After practicing Natural Farming, the soil inflates like a balloon.
Our little workers tilled so well that your hand will slide in as if
into a soft cake.
Because you don’t till the land, the grass seeds in the soil do not
come up to the surface. In other words, after the grass on the
surface have germinated and died, you will have no more weed
problems. No tillage and no herbicide are linked

20. No Chemical Fertilizer
Natural Farming does not use chemical fertilizer. Nor does
it follow the common practice of applying over half of the
fertilizer as base manure. Crops will become weak if given
too much food at early stage.
Nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium and all other
elements that would be commonly given in the form of
chemical fertilizer are substituted with Natural Farming
inputs. Fish amino acid provides nitrogen, eggshells give
calcium, animal bones are source of phosphoric acid. Our
Natural Farming inputs are not only cheap but highly
effective.

21. No Pollution
Natural Farming animal houses do not emit any wastewater.
There is no need to install an expensive treatment
machine. All the treatment is done right on the floor itself.
As soon as feces fall on the floor, it is quickly decomposed
by the powerful microorganisms. Floor is not made from
concrete, it is touching the soil; it is alive. Rice straw,
sawdust, fresh soil are used for flooring Even if you use a
Natural Farming animal house for many years, you do not
need to clean the feces once. They do not pile up and they
do not smell.
Utilizing the natural powers like the sun, wind and
microorganism, the floor is always dry and fluffy. It is a
common sight to see a Natural Farming animal houses
right beside a human house.

22. No Artificial Heating
Natural Farming animal houses do not provide any
artificial heating. Rather than consuming fossil fuel or
electricity we think it is wiser to develop the animal’s
natural resistance against cold. A healthy animal does
not need such human-improvised help. Natural
Farming chicks grow short, tough and dense hair
whereas ordinary chicks have long, soft and sparse
hair. In extremely cold areas or weather, we use heat
from fermentation of compost.

23. Farming inputs are made by farmers
One of the most important aspects of Natural Farming is that
the farmers make what they need. Fertilizers, soil improvers,
pest controllers, disease cure are all made by the farmers
themselves using only natural materials based on the Nutritive
Cycle theory. By doing so, we save money and perform better.
Our field, hills, forest, rivers, ocean and all surroundings are full
of useful materials that are tools of our farming; only if we open
our eyes.
Our important inputs include Indigenous Microorganism
(IMO), Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ), Oriental Herbal Nutrient
(OHN), Lactic Acid Bacteria (LAB), Fish Amino Acid (LAB),
Water-soluble Calcium (WCA), Water-soluble Calcium
Phosphate (WCP), and Insect Attractant (IA). All produced at
home easily and cheaply. Most importantly, they work!

24. Natural Feed made by Farmers
Natural Farming animals do not only eat commercial feed
from the market. They eat natural food prepared by
farmers with love and affection. Chicks are given with
whole brown rice grains and bamboo leaves immediately
after hatching. Tough food develops their intestines.
Animals reared with Natural Farming are healthy, strong
and have no disease.
We do not give antibiotics, hormones, colorants or other
chemicals to our animals. We give them what nature has
given them to eat. We use grass, rice husk, rice bran, left-
over food, sawdust and even soil for feed. They go through
our special treatment and assorting.

25. Nutritive Cycle Theory
Natural Farming cares for the crops and livestock according to
the “Nutritive Cycle Theory.” It is a theory that enables us to read
the changing growth stages of a plant or animal. We apply
fertilizer, feed, or prescription precisely according to this cycle.
Natural Farming is a very elaborate, complicated and precise
method that denies “spray-and-forget” kind of approach.
Just like humans, crops and livestock also need nitrogen when
young, phosphoric acid during adolescence and calcium after
maturity. Also the amount of food they need to take in will
constantly change, just as a baby cannot eat a grown-up’s dish.
Natural Farming emphasizes the right use of the right material,
at the right stage, in the right quantity.

26. Natural Inputs
Indigenous Microorganism (IMO)
Indigenous microorganism is a powerful input that improves soil condition and
crop health. It is collected from nearby forest or fields using a simple wooden
lunch box with steamed rice. By utilizing microorganisms that survived and
adapted to that local place for numerous generations, we can have safe, cheap
yet powerful microorganism input.
Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ)
Fermented plant juice is made by fermenting plant parts in brown sugar.
Sprouts and baby fruits with high hormone concentration, full grown fruits,
flower abundant in honey, and any plant with strong vigor are good
ingredients.
Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN)
Oriental herbal nutrient is made from herbs valued in oriental medicine.
Lactic acid bacteria is exactly same as yoghurt. Other inputs include fish amino
acid, water-soluble calcium from eggshells, water-soluble phosphoric calcium
from animal bones and seawater.

Four principles
1. Principle of health
Organic Agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil,
plant, animal, human and planet as one and indivisible
Healthy soils produce healthy crops that foster the health of animals
and people.
Health is the wholeness and integrity of living systems.
The role of organic agriculture, whether in farming, processing,
distribution, or consumption, is to sustain and enhance the health of
ecosystems and organisms from the smallest in the soil to human
beings.

39. organic farming

Organic Agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and
cycles, work with them, emulate them and help sustain them.
This principle roots organic agriculture within living ecological systems.
It states that production is to be based on ecological processes, and
recycling
Nourishment and well-being are achieved through the ecology of the
specific production environment.
Organic management must be adapted to local conditions, ecology,
culture and scale.
2. Principle of ecology

Organic Agriculture should build on relationships that ensure
fairness with regard to the common environment and life
opportunities.
This principle emphasizes that those involved in organic
agriculture should conduct human relationships in a manner that
ensures fairness at all levels and to all parties - farmers, workers,
processors, distributors, traders and consumers

48. How does Organic Matter Improve Soil?
1) increase water holding capacity
2) nutrients attach to O.M.
3) O.M. improves tilth (aggregate)
 The amount of humus in soil is directly proportional to the amount of
nitrogen in soil
 Soils high in O.M. are easily worked and may be described as having
good tilth.

49. Reasons for low organic matter
The quality of our soil is very poor in organic matter. A soil
with 1.29 per cent carbon is considered to be sufficient in
organic matter, but here the soil has less than that. The range
of
carbon in the soil is 0.52 .
1.Climatic Conditions.
2.Soil disorders
3. Easy availability of Mineral Fertilizers
4.Poor economic coditions of farmers
5.Intensive tillage

50. Organic sources available in
country
 1. 1.5 Million tons of nutrient are available 50% wasted.
 2. Poultry can contribute as manure about 101000 tons
of nitrogen ,58000 phosphorus and 26000 tones of
potash.
 3. Crop residue
 4. Green manure
 5. Filter cake and silage
 6.Abattor waste
 7. Other material

51. Why Organic Farming
 Organic farming in the form of agriculture includes crop rotation, application of green
manure, compost, bio fertilizers, biological pest and diseases control to maintain soil
productivity and restrict the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. Infact the
organic farming rely on the management of the soil. It enhances the chemical,
biological and physical properties of the soil and the increasing amount of nutrition in
soil plays a key role in suppressing weeds, pests and diseases in eco-friendly manner .

52. Techniques for Organic Farmingfor Medicinal Plants
1. Zero cultivation /no till cultivation
2. Practice Clean Culture
3. Integrated Pest Management (IPM).GAP
4. Insect traps, lure and attractants.

13. Solarization
14. Integrated Nutrient Management ( I NM)
15. Vermipost
16. Integrated Farm Management ( IFM)

53. 1. Zerocultivation/notill farming
is a way of growing crops or pasture from year to year without disturbing
the soil through tillage. No-till is an agricultural technique which
increases the amount of water that infiltrates into the soil and increases
organic matter retention and cycling of nutrients in the soil.

54. 2.Practice cleanculture.
Cultivation and weed control will also help not only in
soil aeration and softening of soil mass but will also
reduce or disturb the breeding place of insect pests
and fungal diseases.

55. 3.IntegratedPest Management (IPM)
Integrated Pest Management (IPM) is a pest control program using combination of all
practices to reduce or eliminate pest damage. This includes natural, biological and
mechanical practices as well as bio and chemical pesticide application.

56. Good Agriculture Practices
Guidelines for Good Agricultural Practice (GAP) of Medicinal Plants
Principles and Guidelines for Good Agricultural Practice (GAP)
1 Seeds and propagation material -Parent material used in organic production has to be
certified as authentically organic.
2. Cultivation -Depending on the method of cultivation e.g. conventional or organic,
growers should be allowed to follow different »Standard Operating Procedures« for
cultivation (to be
elaborated).
3. Soil and Fertilization -Medicinal and aromatic plants should not be grown in soils that
are contaminated by sludge.It should therefore be endeavoured to apply the use of
chemical products with as minimum negative effect as possible.
4. Irrigation -Irrigation should be minimized as much as possible and only be applied
according to the needs of the plant.
5. Tillage should be adapted to the growth and requirements of plants.
6. Pesticide and herbicide application shoud be avoided as far as possible.
7. Harvest- Harvesting should take place when the plants are of best possible quality,
according to their different utilizations.
8. Primary processing -Primary processing after harvest includes such processing steps as
washing, freezing, distilling, drying, etc. All these processes, whether for food or
medicinal use

57. Good Agriculture Practices
9.Packaging – packaged in new, clean and dry sacks, bags or chests. The
label must be clear, permanently fixed and be made of non-toxic material.
Information must conform with the national labelling regulations
10.Storage and Transport -Fresh products (except basil) should be stored
between 1°C and 5°C while frozen products should be stored below –18°C
(or below –20°C for longer term storage).
11. Personnel and Facilities -Personnel should receive adequate botanical
education before performing tasks that require this knowledge.
12. . Documentation -All parent materials and processing steps, including
the location of cultivation, have to be documented. Field records showing
previous cropping and used inputs should be maintained by all growers.
13. Education -It is highly advisable to educate all personnel dealing with the
crop or those engaged in the management of production, in production
techniques as well as the appropriate use of herbicides and pesticides.
14. Quality Guarantee -Consultation between producers and buyers of
medicinal and aromatic plants, with regard to quality questions, e.g. active
principles and other characteristic ingredients.

questions, e.g. active principles and other characteristic ingredients, optical and sensoric properties,
limited germ numbers, plant protection chemical residues and heavy metals, must be based on
nternationally recognized or national specifications and should be laid down in written form.

59. 6. Use of Organic Fertilizer
a) Farm Yard Manure –
b) The bird manure
c) Ashes are alkali fertilizer..
d) Green Manure
e) Farm Slurry
f) Humis

60. 7.Usedof Organic Pest and Disease Control
Herbal preparations to control pest and diseases can easily be made by
farmers themselves since we have abundant plants in the country that
are suitable ingredient.

61. 8.Practice crop rotation and following (resting the soil for some time).
Crop rotation or changing crops grown in certain areas to avoid the buildup of
certain pest or disease affecting certain crops. Example, rotating onions with
pepper . Resting the soil for one to two years to allow natural vegetation
and the growth of natural enemies to introduce balance of nature, while
enriching your soil environment for future crop production.

62. 9. Growing and inter-croppingof pest repellant andherbal plants
There are crops that repel certain insect pests. Intercropping tomato with cabbages and
cauliflower will help reduce the diamondback moth attacking cabbages. Learn what
these crop combinations..

63. 10. Integrated WeedManagement
Certain weeds are difficult to remove or control, like
grasses. Planting vines and crawling crops like sweet
potato and cover crops will help suppress weeds.

64. 11.Growingtherightcropontherightsoil, climateandat therighttime.
There are suitable crops that are ideal for certain season of the year and
suitable soils for their healthy and productive growth. Learn the nature of
the plants and their preferences before deciding what to grow in your farm.

65. 12. Solarization
 It is a non contaminant soil disinfestation technique. It is based on the
sun irradition to provide a temperature rise; and humidity increase this
effect. The use of polyethylene ( usually transparent) to cover the
ground soil (upper layer), increases the thermical effect and avoid soil
moisture loss, raising temperature to letal levels for living soil
organism.

66. 13 IntegratedNutrient Management

67. 14. Vermipost
 WHAT IS VERMICOMPOSTING/WORM FARMING? The process of using
worms to aid in the decomposition of organic matter. I.e., organic matter is put
in a bin with worms; the worms eat the organic matter and break it down,
leaving behind a nutrient rich product known as 'vermicompost', 'worm
castings', 'worm manu
 BENEFITS OF VERMICOMPOSTING
 Improves soil structure
 Increases the soil's ability to retain water
 Improves the growth and structure of root systems
 Enhances germination, growth, and yield of plants
 Increases the micro-organism population in soil by 10-20x
 Makes nutrients more available for plant uptake Very space efficient.
 Worm composting can be done even in a small apartment
 Not to mention all that food waste that's being turned into fertilizer instead of
being thrown away .

68. 15.IntegratedFarm Management
 Integrated Farm Management (IFM) involves:
 a commitment to good husbandry and animal welfare
 efficient soil management and appropriate cultivation
 techniques the use of crop rotations minimum reliance on crop protection
chemicals and fertilisers
 careful choice of seed varieties maintenance of the landscape and rural
communities enhancement of wildlife habitats a commitment to team spirit
based on communication, training and involvement.

70. BIOLOGICALFARMING
 The objectives of Biological Farming as part of Natural
Farming is to produce food crops without the use and
traces of toxic synthetic chemical product.
 In this case, we will be using living organisms from the
microscopic beneficial fungus and bacteria to insects and
animals and other life forms.

71. BIOLOGICALPESTCONTROL
 There are many beneficial insects, birds; animals that help suppress the
population of insect pest. Providing them home and habitat within your farm
will greatly lessen incidents of serious infestation.
 Bacteria, yeast and fungus (BYM) Pro-biotic that fight bad bacteria and
fungus; and damage the egg as well as adult insect pests can be very helpful at
low cost while renewable as they live and grow.

72. The biologicalagents
 Predators such as ladybird beetle, spiders,
dragonflies and mites.
 Parasites such as Trichogramma, Braconids
 Pathogens such as bacteria and fungi which cause
diseases to pest.

73. SOME ENENIES OF INSECT PESTS
1. Trichogramma
2. Braconid
3. Pirate bug
4. Spiders
5. Praying Manthis
6. Birds
7. Frogs etc.

74. Types of Biopesticides
 Microbial pesticides consist of a microorganism (e.g., a bacterium, fungus, virus, or
protozoan) as the active ingredient. Microbial pesticides can control many different
kinds of pests, although each separate active ingredient is relatively specific for its target
pest[s]. For example, there are fungi that control certain weeds, and other fungi that kill
specific insects. Example BT
 Biochemical pesticides are naturally occurring substances that control pests by non-toxic
mechanisms. Conventional pesticides, by contrast, are generally synthetic materials that
directly kill or inactivate the pest. Biochemical pesticides include substances, such as
insect sex pheromones
 Plant pesticides are pesticidal substances that plants produce from genetic material that
has been added to the plant. For example, scientists can take the gene for the Bt
pesticidal protein and introduce the gene into the plant's own genetic material
