This document provides information on organic production of warm season vegetable crops. It discusses the history of organic farming, concepts and benefits of organic farming, certification agencies, and suitable vegetable crops for organic cultivation. Studies on the effects of organic fertilizers like cow manure, chicken manure, and agro fish pellet on tomato growth and quality are summarized. The results showed that chicken manure had the best influence on tomato quality. Organic farming avoids environmental pollution and chemical hazards while producing safe, quality food and improving soil health.
Organic vegetable production in India faces several challenges. While it can increase soil fertility and reduce environmental pollution, yields may initially decrease as chemical inputs are removed. Total conversion to organic is not feasible nationally due to issues like nutrient availability, pest management knowledge, and lack of markets and research support. However, integrating organic resources with chemicals can sustain soil quality while maintaining productivity. Addressing research gaps, developing crop-specific organic packages, and promoting markets can encourage more farmers to adopt organic techniques.

Response of Nutrient Management Practices through Organic Substances on Rice ...AI Publications
The management of soil organic matter is crucial to maintain a productive organic farming system. No one source of nutrient usually fulfills to maintain productivity and quality control in organic system. In addition, the inputs to supplement nutrient availability are often not uniform presenting additional challenges in meeting the nutrient requirements of crops in organic system. With this concept, a field experiment was conducted at the research farm of ASPEE Agricultural Research and Development Foundation, Tansa Farm, at Nare, Taluka Wada, Dist. Palghar, Maharashtra, during Kharif 2018-19 in rice. Different treatments comprising organic amendments such as T1-FYM @ 5 t/ha (control), T2-T1 + vermicompost @2.5 t/ha, T3-T1+Neem cake @ 250 kg, T4- T1+ vermiwash @ 3% spray, T5-T1+ Jeevamrut @ 3 % spray, T6-T1+ Panchgavya @ 3 % Spray, T7-T1+ Enriched Bananpseudostem sap @ 3% spray and T8-T1+ Regular Banana sap @ 3% spray were tried in organic crop production. These treatments were compared with absolute control (FYM @ 5 t/ha + No biofertilizer+ No Spray). A Rice variety ‘GR-11’ was taken for study. Results revealed a significant enhancement in grain yield of rice over absolute control due to the application of different organic amendments applied alone or in combinations. The rice grain yield (3.19 t ha-1) obtained under combined application of FYM and vermicompost was at par with the yield recorded under neem cake, vermiwash and panchgavya. An interesting observation recorded was that there was no serious attack of any insects pest or disease in organically grown crop. The study revealed that addition of four organic amendments viz. vermicompost, vermiwash, neem cake&panchgavyacould give the optimum yield of organic rice var. GR-11.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

Introduction :
The growth and yield of vegetable crops are mainly
depends on the quality and quantity of fertilizers used.
So, to increase the soil fertility and yield,
inorganic/chemical fertilizers are often used.
Inorganic fertilizers will increase the cost of crop
production.
Now, throughout the world, the demand for organic
foods is increased among the consumers that are good
for health and the environment. 18
19. Furthermore, consumers often look upon
the taste of organic products and it should
be healthier one than the conventional one.
Aim of this study is to evaluate the effects
different of organic fertilizers (viz. cow
manure, mixed manure (Chicken+ cow),
Chicken manure pellet and agro fish pellet)
on four different varieties of tomato by
studying the growth and yield parameters
and sensory evaluation of the fruits.
19
20. MATERIALS AND METHODS
Cultivar selection and Seed materials
Tomato varieties (viz., Sadia F1, Isabella F1, Lelord
and Sun cherry) were selected based on available
in the markets of the United Arab Emirates (UAE),
as they are more varieties used by farmers in the
state most types of conventional and organic crops,
and others.
Study Site The experiment was conducted in
greenhouse during 2011 - 2012 at Al- Foah
Experimental Farm, College of Food and
Agriculture, United Arab Emirates University.
20
21. Experimental Design
The experimental was set in factorial
experimental with a randomized block design, 4x4
factorial experiments with 3 replications.
Seeds were sown and uniform seedling were
transplanted to the greenhouse. The total number of
elementary plots was 64, Plot dimension was 3 m2 x 4
m2, and each plot received only the recommended
doses of organic fertilizers:
1- Cow Manure (AL BAQARA) at the rate of 18 kg for
plot
2- Chicken+ cow (AL MROOG) at the rate of 3 18 kg for
plot. 3-
Chicken manure pellet at the rate of 18 kg for plot. 4 -
Agro fish pellet at the rate 18 kg for plot.
21
22. MIXED MANURE SHOWED BEST RESULTS ON FIRMNESS, COLOR AND
BITTERNESS. BUT, THE BEST RESULTS ON CONSISTENCY, SWEETNESS
SOURNESS AND JUICINESS OF THE FRUITS WERE OBTAINED WITH THE
TREATMENT OF CHICKEN MANURE AND ALSO THE BEST RESULT ON THE
OVERALL FRUIT QUALITY OF SADIA F1 WAS OBTAINED WITH THE TREATMENT
OF CHICKEN MANURE.
22
23. REPRESENTED THE RESULTS ON THE SENSORY OF ISABELLA F1 TOMATO
VARIETY TREATED WITH DIFFERENT ORGANIC MANURE. FRUITS OBTAINED FROM
AGRO FISH PELLET TREATED PLANTS SHOWED GOOD RESULTS ON APPEARANCE
OF FRUITS, FIRMNESS, CONSISTENCY, COLOR, SWEETNESS, JUICINESS AND THE
OVERALL QUALITY.
23
24. THE RESULTS ON THE SENSORY EVALUATION OF THE LELORD TOMATO VARIETY
ARE PRESENTED IN TABLE NO. 4. EVEN THOUGH COW
MANURE TREATED FRUITS SHOWED BEST RESULTS ON APPEARANCE,
SWEETNESS, SOURNESS, BITTERNESS AND JUICINESS, THE OVERALL QUALITY
OF THE FRUITS WERE GOOD IN MIXED MANURE TREATED FRUITS.
24
25. THE RESULTS OF SENSORY EVALUATION OF SUN CHERRY TOMATO VARIETY
TREATED WITH VARIOUS ORGANIC MANURE. APPEARANCE, FIRMNESS,
CONSISTENCY AND COLOR OF THE FRUITS WERE GOOD IN COW MANURE
TREATED IN FRUITS. WHEREAS, GOOD RESULT ON SWEETNESS,
SOURNESS AND BITTERNESS OF THE FRUITS WERE OBSERVED IN CHICKEN
MANURE TREATED FRUITS.
25
26. The sensory evaluation results of the present
study were purely depended on the variety of
tomatoes.
The principal component analyses of the
tomato illustrated that the variability of the
tomatoes was more influenced by varietal
differences than by growing conditions.
26
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
27. CONCLUSION
The results of sensory evaluation of tomatoes
showed that the chicken manure had influence the
overall quality of fruits of Sadia F1 and Sun cherry
tomato variety.
Whereas agro fish pellet and mixed manure
influence the overall quality of Isabella F1 and
Lelord tomato variety respectively.
So, adding chicken manure and agro fish pellet at
the stage of flowering and fruit set and also in
addition that mixed fertilizer before harvest will
increase the quality of the fruits of tomato.

Introduction :
Magkos et al (2006) reported the
widespread belief that organic food is
significantly safer for consumption than food
grown conventionally.
Brinjal is a popular and favourite crop grown
through out the year in south India.
It is highly productive and finds its place as
poor man’s crop.
29
30. THE OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY ARE TO
1. Compare the physical characteristic of brinjal
cultivated using conventional and organic methods
2. Compare their sensory qualities
3. Compare their shelf life
4. Compare their chemical and nutritional qualities
5. Assess their anti-nutritional factors
6. Determine the pesticide residues present in them
30
31. MATERIALS AND METHODS
The methodology is discussed under the following heads
a. Selection of locale :
Organic samples for the experiment were collected from the organic
bazaar being operated by an NGO, functioning in Thiruvananthapuram
city.
The conventional samples were collected from the local farmers of
Kalliyoor Panchayath, nearby the college premises.
b. Selection of vegetables:
For better comparison, brinjal of the same variety namely ‘Haritha’ was
selected. Analysis of vegetables was done on the second day after the
harvest. Design adapted was CRD with five replications.
c. Selection of treatments:
T1 – Organic brinjal – PGS certified – the cultivation area meeting all the
requirements prescribed by the NGO.
T2 – Organic input vegetables – (PGS certified – the cultivation area
meeting all the requirements presented by the NGO, but the
surrounding area not following similar practices.
T3 – conventionally grown vegetables (Obtained from the farmers of
Kalliyoor panchayath). Their vegetables were grown using chemical
fertilizers. 31
32. d. Selection of quality parameters
d.1 – Physical qualities
d.2 – Sensory qualities
d.3 – Shelf life
d.4 – Nutrient composition
d.5 – Anti nutrient composition
d.6 – Pesticide residue
e. Statistical analysis
Two factor Anova(CRD) was done to elicit information
on the relative qualities of organic brinjal with reference to
the chemical and physical characteristics studied (Snedor
and Cocnran, 1968)
32
33. PHYSICAL CHARACTERISTICS
33
Conventionally cultivated brinjal revealed higher values for
length, breadth and appearance, compared to other
treatments. As for appearance organic and inorganic ones
(TI & T3) recorded the same scores .Fresh weight was
seen to be higher in organic brinjal.
34. SENSORY EVALUATION OF BRINJAL
34
Appearance showed significant difference among
the treatments. Appearance was found to be best in
organic brinjal (T2) whereas colour, flavour and
taste were superior for conventionally cultivated
brinjal, but texture was found to be superior in
organically cultivated brinjal.
35. SHELF LIFE PARAMETERS OF BRINJAL
35
Greater shelf life of vegetables is a need for the farmer
to avoid economic loss. Shelf life of the vegetables was
determined with respect to 2 parameters namely,
duration with respect to oneself visible marks of
deterioration and physiological loss of water (PLW).
36. NUTRIENT COMPOSITION
Moisture, fibre, minerals, acidity, calcium and iron
levels were on par. Vitamin C levels and β carotene levels
were significantly higher in organic brinjal.
Review of literature in general ,reveals that organic
produce have higher nutritive value, though the biological
mechanisms responsible for this have not been explained in
most of the contents.
36
37. ANTI-NUTRIENTS
Availability of nutrients is affected by the
presence of anti-nutrients. Oxalates, phytates,
phenols and tannins were the anti-nutrients
analysed under the experiment.
The results are depicted in the table not show
much difference among the treatments.
37
38. CONCLUSION
This study concludes that organic cultivation
does not affect the sensory qualities of produce with
respect to appearance, colour, flavour, texture and taste,
thus endearing it more among consumers.
Nutrient wise, β carotene and vitamin C were seen to be
significantly higher in organic treatments.
Many of the physical and chemical features were on
par amongst the treatments.
However, in this era, where food safety is the
prime concern of the universe at large, a pesticide free
produce is a blessing for the health of man kind.
