Organic farming management for vegetable production in rural areas

Renuyadav, Archanayadav

Abstract :

Growing populations and a constrained fossil–manufactured energy supply present a major challenge for society and there is a real need to develop forms of agriculture. It has been suggested that organic agriculture can provide a more energy efficient approach due to its focus on sustainable production methods. The economics of organic vegetable production is difficult to assess fairly, since the value of certain indirect benefits, such as an improvement in soil structure, or a reduction in risks associated with pesticide use, are hard to quantify and are never reflected in enterprise budgets.Organic vegetable production is important for economic uplifting of farm community. Different biofertilizers, farm Yard manure and biopesticides had differential effects in yield and disease suppression of vegetables but mixture of more than one will be effective in controlling major diseases and better yield of crops. Thus, this study showed that there is wide scope for use of farm yard manure, biopesticides and biofertilizers in organic vegetable production.
