 Organic farming
1. 1. SUBMITTED TO: SUBMITTED BY: Dr. N. N.GUDADHE JOSHI JIGARKUMAR R. Asst.
Professor 2nd Sem. M.sc.(Agri.) Dept. of Agronomy Reg.No-2010114038 N.M.C.A., N.A.U. Dept. of
Agronomy NAVSARI – 396 450 N.M.C.A., N.A.U. NAVSARI- 396 450 ORGANIC FARMING
2. 2. organic farming is a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs (such as
fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, feed additives etc) and to the maximum extent feasible rely upon
crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, off-farm organic waste. (USDA, 1980) “It is a holistic
production management system that promotes and enhances health of agro-ecosystem, including
biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activity”. (FAO, 2002)
3. 3. Religious Documentation of Organic farming Oldest practice 10000 years old, dating back to
Neolithic age, practiced by ancient civilization like Mesopotamia, Hwang Ho basin etc. Ramayana
(All dead things – rotting corpse or stinking garbage returned to earth are transformed into wholesome
things that nourish life. Such is the alchemy of mother earth – as interpreted by C. Rajagopalachari).
Mahabharata (5500 BC) Mention of Kamadhenu, the celestial cow and its role on human life and soil
fertility. Kauthilya Arthashastra (300 BC) Mentioned several manures like oil cake, excreta, excreta of
animals. Brihad-sanhita (by Varahmihir) Described how to choose manures for different crops and the
methods of manuring. Rig Veda (2500-1500 BC) Mention of organic manure in Rig Veda 1, 161, 10,
2500-1500 BC, is Green Manure in Atharva Veda 11 8.3, (1000 BC). In Sukra (IV, V, 94, 107-112) it
is stated that to cause healthy growth the plant should be nourished by dungs of goat, sheep, cow,
water as well as meat. A reference of manure is also made in Vrksayurveda by surpala (manuscript,
oxford, No 324 B, Six, 107-164) Holy Quran (590 AD) At least one third of what you take out from
soils must be returned to it implying recycling or post-harvest residue.

6. 6.  Organic cultivation not new in India  The term organic farming was first used by lord
northbourne in the book of look of the land  Organic agriculture in India started long back 1900 by
Sir Albert Howard a British agronomist, in local village of the north India.  Organic farming first
coined by north Bourne in 1946.  The state of Sikkim and Uttaranchal declared organic state.  Race
less use of this chemical material not alert the ecosystem but it claim with death to many lives every
year due to their hazardous nature. Organic farming in India
7. 7. WHAT SHOULD BE OUR APPROACH ?  Keeping in view of food security it is not possible to
go as such for organic farming in intensive cultivated areas hence there is need: b) On the other hand,
 bringing the areas, where fertilizer consumption is very low, under organic farming  The organic
agriculture, therefore, could be advocated only to certain areas and for selected crops showing promise
for organic agriculture. The rain-fed agro-eco-zones, tribal areas, northeast and hilly regions of the
country and farms where diversified agriculture is being practiced on commercial scale are the
potential areas for organic farming. a) To increase the food production in these areas by site specific
input management on one hand
8. 8. Conventional Farming Organic Farming • It is based on economical orientation. • Supplementing
nutrients through chemical fertilizers • Weed control by herbicide • Pest control by pesticide •
Livestock rarely combined • Low input: output ratio with pollution • Using up soil fertility often
resulting in erosion and soil loss • It is based on ecological orientation. • Cycle of nutrients within the
farms; predominantly farm produced materials • Weed control by crop rotation and cultural practices •
Pest control based on non- polluting substances • Livestock for production and health • Optimum
input: output ratio with No pollution • Maximum conservation of soils, water quality and wild life
Difference between conventional farming and organic farming
9. 9.  Sustainable and eco-friendly technology.  It improves quality, shelf and nutritive value of the
farm produce.  It encourages sustainable livelihood of the producers as well as safeguards consumers
health.  It improves the physical, chemical and biological health of the soil.  Promotes healthy use
of the natural resources and minimizes all forms of the pollution.  It enhances and sustains biological
diversity within the system.
10. 10.  Relies primarily on local, renewable resources.  Makes efficient use of solar energy and the
production potential of biological systems.  Maintains the fertility of the soil.  Maximizes recycling
of plant nutrients and organic matter.  Does not use organisms or substances foreign to nature. 
Maintains diversity in the production system as well as the agricultural landscape.  Gives farm
animal’s life conditions that correspond to their ecological role and allow them a natural behavior. 
Careful attention to the impact of the farming system on the wider environment and the conservation
of wildlife and natural habitats.
11. 11. Principles of organic farming
12. 12. 1. Principle of health Organic Agriculture should sustain and enhance the health of soil, plant,
animal, human and planet as one and indivisible. Healthy soils produce healthy crops that foster the
health of animals and people. Health is the wholeness and integrity of living systems. 2. Principle of
ecology Organic Agriculture should be based on living ecological systems and cycles, work with
them, emulate them and help sustain them. This principle roots organic agriculture within living
ecological systems. Four principles
13. 13. 3. Principle of fairness  Organic Agriculture should build on relationships that ensure fairness
with regard to the common environment and life opportunities.  Fairness is characterized by equity,
respect, justice and stewardship of the shared world, both among people and in their relations to other
living beings 4. Principle of care Organic Agriculture should be managed in a precautionary and
responsible manner to protect the health and well-being of current and future generations and the
environment. This principle states that precaution and responsibility are the key concerns in
management, development and technology choices in organic agriculture.
14. 14. Pure organic farming : It includes use of organic manures and biopesticides with complete
avoidance of inorganic chemicals and pesticides. Integrated Farming : It involves Integrated Nutrient
Management (INM) and Integrated Pest Management (IPM). Integrated Farming Systems : In this
type, local resources are effectively recycled by involving other components such as poultry, fish
pond, mushroom, goat rearing etc. apart from crop components. It is a low input organic farming.
Types of organic farming
15. 15. Objectives of Organic Farming Produce food with higher nutritional quality Work with natural
system Maintain and increase soil fertility Use renewable resources as far as possible Wider social and
ecological impact of farming system Allow satisfaction to agricultural producer Avoid Pollution
Objective of organic farming (1) (2) (3) (4) (5)(6) (7)
16. 16. Benefits of organic farming 1. Increase long-term fertility of the soil. 2. It helps in maintaining
environment health by reducing the level of pollution. 3. It reduces human and animal health hazards
 by reducing the level of residues in the product. 4. It helps in keeping agricultural production at a
higher level and makes it sustainable. 5. It reduces the cost of agricultural production and also
improves the soil health. 6. It ensures optimum utilization of natural resources for short- term benefit
and helps in conserving them for future generation. 7. It not only saves energy for both animal and
machine, but also reduces risk of crop failure.
17. 17. Basic Steps of Organic Farming Organic farming approach involves following five principles: 1.
Conversion of land from conventional management to organic management 2. Management of the
entire surrounding system to ensure biodiversity and sustainability of the system 3. Crop production
with the use of alternative sources of nutrients such as crop rotation, residue management, organic
manures and biological inputs. 4. Management of weeds and pests by better management practices,
physical and cultural means and by biological control system 5. Maintenance of live stock in tandem
with organic concept and make them an integral part of the entire system
18. 18. Limitations of organic farming in India  Small land holding  Poor infrastructure facilities 
Lack of technology knowledge  Convert organic farm  Neighbouring farmer well co-operate 
Organic material such as animal dung and other crop waste used for fuel purpose  Organic material
are bulky in nature very difficult store and high price  City garbage contain heavy metal, plastic
bags, stones and needles.  Bio control agent are available only few selected insect pest. 
Complicated organic certification process and high fees cost  Higher human population of India.

41. 41. Conclusions From the foregoing discussion, it can be inferred that organic farming appears to be a
sustainable, economic and eco-friendly, since there is no risk of residual toxicity. It improves soil
fertility and yielded quality production.An addition of compost prepared from farm wastes i.e. FYM,
Neem-cake, biogas slurry, vermi- compost etc.helps maintain organic matter in soil.
