What do you understand by organic farming?
Answer:
Organic farming is a farming system in which there is minimal or no use of chemicals such as fertilisers, herbicides, pesticides, etc. There is maximum input of organic manure, recycled farm wastes, i.e., straw and livestock excreta, use of bio-agents such as culture of blue green algae in preparation ofbiofertilisers. Also, neem leaves or turmeric is used specifically in grain storage which act as biopesticides. It employs healthy cropping systems (mixed cropping, intercropping and crop rotation).
