ORGANIC
PRODUCTION
UNDER PROTECTED
CULTIVATION

INTRODUCTION
Organic production = farming without synthetic fertilizers, pesticides, or GMOs.
Focus on natural inputs, ecological balance, and soil health.
Protected cultivation = growing crops inside structures to control environment .
Combines sustainability + high productivity.
 Protected cultivation is the technique of growing crops under controlled
environmental conditions using structures like:
 Greenhouses,
 Polyhouses,
 Net houses ,
 Shade houses ,
 Low tunnels.
It protects crops from: Extreme temperature ,Heavy rainfall ,Wind ,Insect ,pests.

WHAT IS ORGANIC FARMING?
• According to Food and
Agriculture Organization
(FAO):
• Organic farming is a system
that:
Sustains soil health
Enhances biodiversity
Avoids synthetic chemicals
Uses organic manures & bio-
inputs

Higher yield.
Better quality produce.
Reduced pest attack.
Premium market price.
Efficient resource use.
Off season production .
Why Combine Organic +
Protected Cultivation ?

TYPES OF STRUCTURES USED AND
SUITABLE CROPS
• Naturally ventilated polyhouse
• Climate controlled greenhouse
• Insect-proof net house
• Shade net house
• Common covering materials:
a) UV stabilized polyethylene sheet.
b) Insect proof net.
• Vegetables:
• Tomato
• Capsicum
• Fruits:
• Strawberry
• Exotic vegetables
• Flowers:
• Rose

ORGANIC INPUTS USED
1.Organic Manures
• Farm Yard Manure (FYM)
• Vermicompost
• Compost
2. Biofertilizers
• Azotobacter
.Azospirillum.
• PSB (Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria)
3. Biopesticides
• Neem oil
• Trichoderma
• Bacillus thuringiensis

SOIL PREPARATION AND NUTRIENT
MANAGEMENT
 Soil preparation :
• Raised beds formation
• Solarization for soil sterilization
• Addition of organic compost
• Proper drainage system
 Nutrient management :
• Use of compost tea
• Liquid biofertilizers
• Jeevamrit & Panchagavya
• Drip irrigation with organic nutrients
 Focus on:
• Balanced nutrition
• Soil microbial activity

PEST AND DISEASE
MANAGEMENT
Integrated Organic Pest
Management (IOPM):
Pheromone traps
Neem-based sprays
Biological control agents
Crop rotation
 Yellow & blue sticky traps

IRRIGATION MANAGEMENT
Drip irrigation
system.
Mulching (organic
mulch).
Avoid overwatering.
Maintain humidity
level.

CERTIFICATION
In India:
• National Programme for Organic Production (NPOP)
• Agricultural and Processed Food Products Export
Development Authority (APEDA)
Certification ensures:
• Organic authenticity
• Export eligibility
• Consumer trust

Advantages Limitations
Higher productivity per
unit area.
Off-season production.
Better quality & uniform
produce.
Reduced chemical
residue.
Environmental safety.
Higher income.
High initial cost of
structure.
Certification process is
lengthy.
Skilled management
required.
Risk of pest outbreak in
closed environment.

ECONOMIC ANALYSIS & FUTURE SCOPE
Initial investment:
 High (structure cost).
 Operational cost: Moderate.
Returns: High due to:
 Off-season price
 Organic premium
 Export potential
Payback period: 2–3 years.
Export market demand.
Urban farming.
Climate change
adaptation.
Integration with
hydroponics & vertical
farming.
Government subsidies

CONCLUSION
Organic production under protected cultivation:
• Sustainable
• Profitable
• Eco-friendly
• Climate-resilient
It is the future of high-value agriculture.
