ORGANIC FARMING
 Organic farming is defined as the holistic production
management system,which promotes and enhances
agro-ecosystem health,including
biodiversity,biological cycles and soil biological
activity.
 Father of modern organic agriculture- Sir Albert
Howard
 The term ‘organic farming’ was coined by Lord
Northbourne

Orissa Agricultural Scenario
 Agriculture shares 19.91% of GSDP where as national
scenario is 17.32%
 GDP growth of state is 7.94% where as national
average 7.1%
 Orissa is one of those states that publish a special
budget for agriculture.
 Allocation of 13181.89 cr for agriculture.
 60% work force of state depends on agriculture.
 35% of total geographical area is the net crop area.
Orissa soils and demography
 The tropical climate of Odisha is characterized by high
temperature, high humidity, medium to high rainfall
and mild winters. The normal annual rainfall is 1,451.2
mm of which the South-West monsoon contributes
about 80%
 On the basis of climate, soil, rainfall and topography,
the State has been delineated into ten Agro Climatic
Zones. The State’s Agriculture Sector suffers from
recurring natural calamities like cyclones, droughts
and flash floods which substantially affect the area,
production and productivity of agriculture.

Model organic farm(appx 7acre)
Crops produced are:
1-wetland
•Rice
•Pulses
In the paddy land we can grow
paddy along with pulses like cow
pea & black gram on the boundary.
2-dry land
•Ground nut
•Pearl millet
•Finger millet
We can grow these crops in the dry
land zone as mentioned in the
figure.
Crops grown:
3-garden land
•Tomato
•Brinjal
•Capsicum
•Chilly
•Cucumber
•Watermelon
•Gourds
•Radish
•Corn
•Beans
•Okra
•Corriander
•Sunflower
•Onion
If there is not adequate irrigation
system we can go for mulching in
case of vegetables that use residual
moisture to good effect.
Land & Labour management
 Land management:
->appx are in total=7 acre
->most area under dry land farming,rice and
pulse cultivation(2.5acre)
->area under vegetables(1.5 acre)
->comoposting,cow shed,poultry,green manure
and other miscellaneous(1acre)
->pond,fruits,banana,coconut(2acre)
Land & Labour management
 Labour management:
Generally more labour is required for cereal crops.if
adequate labour is not available then we can reduce the area under
cereals and use those area for cultivation of vegetables like
potato,sweet potato,chilly,tomato,beans,radish,carrot in kharif season
and in rabi season onion,cabbage,cauliflower,gourds etc.
Along with banana we can also grow papaya and
drum stick which provide additional income too in short time.
when there is availability of labour we can go for
cereals. considering the work force of orissa there shouldn’t be any
problem of labour as 60% work force depends on agri culture .
As per ASSOCHAM report entitled “organic
odisha:inching towards organic” organic farming in odisha can create
80 lakh jobs in odisha.

Crop rotation
 Selection of crops:
In paddy land we
grow pulses on the bund so
that due to natural N2
fixation , we reduce
dependance on external
fertiliser source.
Pulses should be
follwed by non legume
crops like maize.
Rice can be followed
by green manure crops to
restore fertility.
Contd….
 In the vegetable land
across the bund we can
grow flower crops like
marigold that can also act
as trap crop for many pests.
 During zaid season we can
grow jute in some parts of
dry lad area as it requirs
less water too and also less
nutrient.
 Pearl millet and finger
millet are preferred in dry
land area as they are
drought resistant crops.

After planting
Some ITKs commonly used
 Ginger paste with cow urine for viral and bacterial
disease.
 Ash for powdery mildew and downy mildew and white
rust of mustard
 Ash with common salt for cuscuta
 Ash with castor oil for damping off of cotton
 Fallowing
 Flooding
 Earthing up
 Restrained irrigation to check aphids.
Biological control
 T.harzianum,T.viride and T.hamatum are commonly
used.
 Used against
1-club root of broccoli
2-pythium rot of seedling
3-fusarium wilt
4-bulb rot,damping off
 Used as seed treatment,mixed with compost and
applied on field.
Elements of organic farming

Harvesting
To prevent contamination of vegetables
on farm, organic product must be kept in a
dedicated storage area separate from
conventional product. Post harvest treatments and
packaging materials must comply with organic
standards. Where growers intend to value add
or process vegetables, compliance with organic
processing standards is required if the final product
is to be labelled as certified “Organic”
Marketing
 Problems in current market:
 In the current time the price of vegetables and
livestock products in Odisha is higher than national price. This
is due to importing foods from neighborhoods and cultivating
rice majorly in traditional inefficient manner. Our vegetable
deficit is 520,000 tonne/year.
 The main problem is lack of cold storage facilities, fertile seeds
and proper transportation to deficit market from rural
production areas.
 Example- Odisha produces enough tomato in three month of
winter in each year, when price of tomato is ₹1/kg. But without
the proper storage facility, we have to import tomato from
neighborhood states, when price is around ₹25/kg.
What can be the possible solution?

Recent initiatives by Orissa Govt.
 A State level task force on agriculture development and
rejuvenation was constituted under the Chairmanship of Chief
Secretary, Odisha by Agriculture Department as recommended
by NITI Aayog
 Odisha is among the few states in India that presents a separate
budget on agriculture since 2013-14, which is indicative of the
priority given to agriculture and allied sector.
 Since 2013-14 Agriculture budget is reflecting an increasing
trend. The State’s agriculture budget for 2013-14 was Rs. 7162.00
crore whereas the provision for 2015-16 and 2016-17 was Rs.
10903.62 crore and Rs.13181.89 crore respectively
Contd…
 The State has formed a separate “Agriculture Cabinet” for
farmer centric development
 State Potato Mission has been formed for making the State
self sufficient in production of Potato by the year 2017-18
 State has formulated “Odisha Fisheries Policy, 2015 and
intends to be a pioneer in Aquaculture Development.
 Bovine Breeding Policy and Poultry Policy are major
achievements of the State in 2015-16
