Community Service of Nandalur

Project Work Organic

farming

Organic farming means growing crops using only

natural fertilizers and neem powder without using any
chemical fertilizers and pesticides.
Practices to be followed in organic farming:
⮚ Fertilizers should be used for crops even if they are made by nature to grow
crops.
⮚ The use of fertile fertilizers increases the nutrition of the crop and hence the
crop grows well.
⮚ Dry cow dung, leaf litter ,varni compost and Neem flour etc.. are used for
cultivation of crops which made with the soil fertile and produce good crops.

Practices that should not be followed in organic farming :

● No insecticides should be used while growing crops.
 ● The use of chemical fertilizers of no benefit to the crops and also
reduces the fertility of the soil.
● Insects such as earthworms Snakes and spiders that are useful for soil
fertilization should not be killed with chemicals.

Advantages of Organic Farming:

Economical: In organic farming, no expensive fertilizers, pesticides, or
HYV seeds are required for the plantation of crops. Therefore, there is no
extra expense.
Good return on Investment: With the usage of cheaper and local inputs,
a farmer can make a good return on investment.
High demand: There is a huge demand for organic products in India and
across the globe, which generates more income through export.
Nutritional: As compared to chemical and fertilizer-utilized products,
organic products are more nutritional, tasty, and good for health.
Environment-friendly: The farming of organic products is free of
Chemicals and fertilizers, so it does not harm the environment.

Disadvantages of Organic Farming:

Incompetent: The major issue of organic farming is the lack of
inadequate infrastructure and marketing of the product.
Less production: The products 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. Shorter
shelf life: Organic products have more flaws and a shorter shelf life than
that of chemical products.
Limited production: Off-season crops are limited and have fewer
options in organic farming.

7.Conclusion:
Interest in organic agriculture methods is growing, especially in
areas where the present farming system has degraded resources essential to
agricultural production (especially land) Non production factors, such as the farmer's
health, are also mentioned as a reason for shifting to organic management.
Consumers also have an interest in organic agriculture. Consumer awareness of the
environmental costs of agriculture (such as the deteriorating quality of drinking
water and soil, and the impact of agriculture on landscape and wildlife) is increasing.
The awareness of environmental quality and health is often promoted by
environmental groups, especially in developed countries. The resulting demand for
organic products creates the opportunity to sell organic products at premium prices,
enabling organic farmers to continue, and often expand .Some governments have
begun to recognize the possibility that it may be cheaper to support organic
agriculture than to rectify problems associated with certain resource-destruction
production practices. For this reason, several governments have introduced subsidies
for organic agriculture. These subsidies come in many forms, such as direct
payments to farmers (both for those in the conversion stage and also for established
organic farmers), and indirect aid (such as for education, research, extension and
marketing)
