Abstract:
Organic agriculture completely avoid the use of chemical fertilizers and synthetic agrochemicals that’s why it is eco-friendly. Use of organic manures viz., FYM, poultry manure, composts, green manures, oil free cakes etc., increase soil microorganisms count and activity, which improves soil health and fertility. Research has revealed that organically grown food grains and vegetables are safe than conventionally grown, which contains residues of fertilizers, agrochemicals, nitrates, metals and antibiotics causing health hazards. Organic food products are more nutritious and beneficial to health that’s the reason the demand and price both are increasing day by day in the market. Thus organic agriculture has the ability to boost up the economy of small farmers.
