Usefullness Of Organic Farming

                  






Organic farming can be defined as an agricultural process that uses biological fertilizers and pest control acquired from animal or plant waste.

In other words, organic farming is a new system of farming or agriculture that repairs, maintains, and improves the ecological balance.


Types of Organic Farming

Organic farming is divided into two types, namely:

  1. Integrated organic farming
  2. Pure organic farming

Pure organic farming means avoiding all unnatural chemicals. In this process of farming, all the fertilisers and pesticides are obtained from natural sources such as bone meal or blood meal.

Integrated organic farming includes the integration of pest management and nutrients management to achieve ecological requirements and demands.
