Best practices for organic farming

 Best practices for organic farming



Organic farming, also known as organic agriculture or ecological farming or biological farming, is an agricultural system that emphasizes the use of naturally occurring, non-synthetic inputs, such as compost manure, green manure, and bone meal and places emphasis on techniques such as crop rotation, companion planting, and mixed cropping.


 Here are the best practices for organic farming:


1. **Soil Conservation**: 

■Use crop rotation, 

■cover crops,

 ■and compost.


2. **Biodiversity**: 

■Plant diverse crops and maintain ecosystem balance.


3. **Organic Pest Control**: 

■Encourage beneficial insects,

■ use traps, and sprays like neem oil.


4. **Natural Fertilizers**: 

■Use compost, manure, 

■green manure, and fish emulsion.


5. **Conservation Watering**: 

■Use drip irrigation and mulch to reduce evaporation.


6. **Minimal Tillage**:

■ Reduce soil disturbance to preserve soil health.


7. **Integrated Crop Management**: ■Monitor crops regularly for pests and diseases.
