Abstract

As our population continues to grow, our imperative extends beyond merely stabilizing agricultural production to increasing it sustainably. Scientists recognize that the 'Green Revolution,' reliant on high input usage, has reached at extreme and is now yielding diminishing returns. Therefore, maintaining a natural balance becomes imperative. In this context, it is increasingly pertinent to consider alternatives.The practice of organic farming system focuses on cultivating the land and growing crops in a manner that sustains soil health and vitality. Organic farming achieves this by utilizing organic waste materials such as crop residues, animal manure, and farm waste, as well as biological inputs like beneficial microbes (biofertilizers). These components work together to release nutrients gradually to crops, promoting sustainable production within an eco-friendly and pollution-free environment.
