2. ORGANIC FARMING
 Organic farming is an agricultural system that uses fertilizers of organic
origin such as compost manure green manure and bone meal and places
emphasis on techniques such as Crop rotation and companion planting.
 It originated early in the 20th Century in reaction to rapidly changing
farming
 It is known as ecological farming or biological farming.
 Organic Standards are designed to allow the use of naturally occuring
substances while prohibiting or Strictly limiting synthetic substances.
 For instance naturally occuring pesticides such as pyrethrin are permitted
while synthetic fertilizers and pesticides are generally prohibited.
 Biodynamic farming use specific fermented herbal preparations as
compost additives and field, sprays in addition to organic farming.
 Organic farming consists of several principles and practices. which are
given by the standards of International Federation of organic Agriculture
movements (IFOAM) as the principle of health, ecology, fairness and care.
 organic farming does not involve any chemicals right from seed
production and even after post harvesting, handling and Storage Product
obtained is free from chemical fertilizers, herbicides and pesticides.

3. Goals of Organic Farming
1)High level of productivity.
2) Compatability of cultivation with the natural
cycle, of the production system
3) Maintaining and increasing the long-term
fertility and biological activity of the soil
4) Maintaining and increasing the natural diversity
and agro- biodiversity.
5) Maximum use of renewable resources.
6)Creating a harmonic balance between crop and
animal husbandry.
7) Creating such conditions for the animals that
correspond to their natural behaviour
8) Protecting and learning indigenous knowledge a
traditional managnant systems.

4. Steps in Organic Farming
1) Conversion of land from conventional management organic management
2) management of the entire surrounding system ensure biodiversity and
sustainability of the system
3) Crop production by using alternative sources of nutrients
4) Management of weeds and pests by better management practices, physical and
cultural means and biological control system
5) maintenance of livestock along with organic, concept and make them an integral
part of the entire system.

5. Principles of Organic Farming
1. Principle of health- Organic farming should sustain. and enhance the health of soil
plant, animal, human and planet as a whole. Organic farming, whether in farming,
processing, distribution or consumption , sustain and enhances the health of ecosystem
and organisms ranging from the smallest in the soil to human beings
2.Principle of Ecology: oraganic farming should be bared on living ecological systems
and Cycles, should work with them and sustain them. Production should be based on
ecological processes and recycling. Organic management should be adapted to local
Conditions, ecological, culture and scale.
3. Principle of Fairness- Organic farming should be based on relationships that ensure
fairness with regard to common environment and life opportunities. This principle states
that thase involved in organic farming should conduct human relationship to ensure
fairness at all levels and to all farmers, workers, processors, distributors, traders and
consumers. Natural and enviornment resources used for production.... and Consumption
should be managed such that it is socially and ecologically fair and frusted for future
generations.
4. Principle of care: This principle states that precaution and responsibility are the key
concerns in management, development and technology choices in organic articulations.
organic farming should be managed in a cautionary and responsible way to protect the
health and well being of current and future generating and the environment.

6. ORGANIC FARMING
Advantages
1. Economical. In organic farming, ho
expensive fertilizers, pesticides or seeds an
required for the plantation of crops.
Therefore there is no extra expense.
2. Good return on investment: with the
usage of Cheaper and local inputs a farmer
can make a good return on Investment
3. high demand. There is huge demand for
organic products in India and across the
globe, which generates more income
through.
4. Nutritional- As compared to chemical and
fertilizers utilized products, organic
products are meal nutritional, tasty and
good for the health
Disadvantages
1. In competent - The major issue of
organic faming in the lack of
inadequate infrastructure and
marketing of the product
2. Less production. The product
obtained through organic farming are
less in the initial" years as compared
to that in chemical products. So
farmers find it difficult to
accommodate large-scale production.
3. Shorter Shelf life- Organic products
have more flaws and a shorter shelf
life than that of chemical products.
4. Limited Production - Off-season
Crops are limited and have fewer
options in organic farming.

7. Types of organic farming
1. Pump Organic Farming- In this process of farming, all fertilizers and
pesticides are obtained from natural sources such as bone meal or
blood meal.
2. Integrated Organic Family- It includes the integration of pest
management and nutrients management to achieve ecological
requirements and demands.

8. Organic Farming Practices
1) Crop rotations This involves planting different crop species on the same field, but
at different times and locations. Rotating Crop improves soil structure.
2) Cover Cropping. In this practice, a cover crops to provide a covers for the sole.
This Crop can be annual, biennial, or herbaceous plants grown in a pure or mixed
Stand throughout the year
3) Green Manures It a cover crop that is filled into the soil while still green. It adds
organic matter and nutrients to the Ball Green manure also suppresses weeds "and
soil-borne diseases.
4) Animal manure - manure can be applied to field in either a row of Composted
form Raw manure provides num and organic matter to the soil, and encourages
biological processes in the soil
5) Weed Management - This involves Crop and removing weeds before sec and
reproduction, and not allowing on the form.
