Promotion of Organic Farming Using Vermicomposting Technology in TamilNadu
Journal Title: GJRA-Global Journal For Research Analysis - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
Organic farming is a system where readily soluble, synthetic fertilizer and biocides are avoided during cultivation. It relies on crop rotation, crop residues, animal manures, particularly vermicompost, legumes, green manures, and biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and tilth.Organic farming is recommended because the present chemical and machine dominated agriculture practice has resulted in i) loss of natural habitat and species of flora and fauna, ii) pollution of ground and surface water, iii) damage of soil structure, iv) reduced fertility of soil, v) reduction in food quality, vi) waste of energy since it is an energy intensive system, vii) economically costly. On the contrary organic farming maintains the ecological balance, enhances soil structure and is economically cheap. Tamil Nadu has total cropped area of about 6.63 mha with the diversified crops of which 10% of the area can be brought under organic farming with the available resources.
