Organic Farming benifits

What is it?
Cultivation and production
(Nutrient, pest & disease management) of crops by biodegradable organic inputs
Harmony with nature
In an organic management, the focus is on food web relations and element cycling aiming to maximize the agro-ecosystem's stability, sustainability and homeostasis (balanced equilibrium)
Increases The Microbial Life
Organics is the main source for nutrients. The soil microbes derive the food from the carbaneous source and multiply and make the soil lively, also decomposing the complex organic compounds present in the added organics
Soil structure improves
Stable organic resins (humus) resulting from organic residue decomposition imparts stability to soil aggregates and corrects the permeability i.e., crumb like structure. This structure facilitates to improve soil aeration, water holding capacity, root penetration, while reducing the soil erosion by b aggregation of soil particles
Soils become fertile
Here the biological property of the soil is improved by addition of organic manure. Intensive biological activity promotes better symbiotic relationship between plant and the soil focusing on sustainable plant production and nutrient management.
Buffering of soils (Enables neutral pH)
Presence of colloidal matter improves the buffering capacity of the soil and Cation Exchanging Capacity. It regulates the nutrient availability due to buffering action, besides checking the toxicity levels to plants and soil microbes
Nutrients available for longer period
Microbes decompose the complex organic compounds to mineral components and CO2. Further the mineral elements are converted in to available plant nutrients through mineralization process. These ions are held by organic matter and soil colloids and are slowly released as nutrients over a longer period.
Prevents the soil erosion
Organic soil management techniques such as organic fertilization, mulching and cover cropping increases aggregation (by organic acid), improves soil structure and therefore increase the soil's water infiltration and retention capacity, substantially reducing the risk of erosion
There is no hazardous material in soil
It doesn’t leave any residues/ hazardous material in the soil since all input is biodegradable & non-toxic
