Modern crop production techniques
• Output
• Cost
• Incidences of pest attack
• Health hazards
Farmer tends to enter into the vicious cycle of credit and debt and finds it difficult to come out of it.

Organic Farming techniques
• Emphasis on integrated nutrient recycling and management
• Integrated pest management • Pro-biotic approach to tackle all pest/disease
problems• Living soil• Crop rotation, inter cropping and GAP

Chemical input Vs Organic farmingChemical inputs oriented Farming Organic Farming
Complex and difficult to manage If dose of input becomes higher, the
crop gets burnt or damaged Very difficult to learn and apply on
field The nutrients remain available for
very less time The base of chemical farming is
Chemistry and macro nutrient management
Higher incidences of pest disease attack as the plant sap gets diluted and the plant becomes more vulnerable.
Management is very simple No loss or adverse effect if input is
applied at a higher rate Very easy process and an un skilled
man can also learn The soil works as a bank for organic
inputs and releases it slowly as per the requirement of plants
The base of Sustainable farming is biology, macro and micro nutrients
No such dilution effect of plant sap. The plant thus shows higher resistance to pest/disease attack.

Common complaints/myths about Organic farming
• Loss of Productivity:• Poor control on Pest & Disease issues:
If planned properly

• Vermicompost• Pit compost• EM compost• Herbal compost
How to address loss of productivity1. Use of compost for soil fertility management
![Page 8: Integrated nutrient and pest management in Organic Agriculture Presented by: Shubhendu Dash AVP-ACCESS Development Services](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d422/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
How to address loss of productivity1. Use of compost for soil fertility management
Difference between compost and chemical fertilizers:
Criteria Chemical Fertilizers Good quality CompostMacro nutrient contents
Only one or two nutrients in any one type of chemical fertilizer
Contains all i.e. N, P & K in sufficient quantities
Secondary nutrient Apply separately Has Ca, Mg & S i in required quantitiesMicro nutrient contents
Apply separately Have Zn, B, Mn, Fe, Cu, Mo and Cl
pH balancing Disturb soil pH to create salinity and alkalinity conditions
Control of soil pH and checks the salinity and alkalinity in soil
EC correction Creates imbalance in soil EC affecting nutrients assimilation
Helps in balancing the EC to improve plant nutrient adsorption
Organic carbon Not available Very high organic carbon and humus contents improves soil characteristics
Moisture retention capacity
Reduces moisture retention capacity of the soil
Increases moistures retention capacity of the soil
Soil Texture Damages soil texture to reduce aeration
Improves soil texture for better aeration
Beneficial bacteria & fungi
Reduces biological activities and thus the fertility is impaired
Very high biological life improves the soil fertility and productivity on sustainable basis
Plant growth hormones
Not available Sufficient quantity helps in better growth and production

The microorganisms in Bio-fertilizers restore the soil's natural nutrient cycle and build soil Organic matter.
How to address loss of productivity2. Use of Bio-fertilizers
Name of Biofertilizer Advantages Rate of application Used in crops likeRhizobium Nitrogen fixation Seed treatment –
200 to 300 gm/acreLeguminous crops
Azotobacter Nitrogen fixation 500 gm/acre Wheat, Maize, Mustard, Cotton, Potato and other vegetable crops.
Azospirillum Nitrogen fixation 500-1000 gm/acre Sorghum, Millets, Maize, Sugarcane and Wheat.
Blue Green Algae (BGA)
Nitrogen fixation 1-1.5 kg/acre Paddy
PSBPantoea agglomerans strain P5, and Pseudomonas putida strain P13
Solubilize the insoluble phosphate from organic and in organic phosphate source
500 gm/acre All crops
Mychorhiza Gets attached to the roots symbiotically and helps in increased nutrient uptake
2-3 kg / acre Mostly horticulture crops

How to address loss of productivity3. Use of Natural minerals
Name of mineral
Advantage Rate of application
Rock Phosphate
Contains Phosphorous in natural form and has 20-30% of P2O5
Mixed with compost @
Wood ash Contains 5-7% K , 1-2% P and 25-50% Ca
Mixed with compost @ for better result
Coal dust Increases C/N ratio of compost and soil and helps in buildup of organic matter
Mixed with compost @ for better result
Gypsum Used to buffer pH in Alkaline soil 1-1.5 ton/acreDolomite Used to buffer pH in acidic soil 1-1.5 ton/acre

How to address loss of productivity4. Use of foliar fertility management solutions
• Nutrients provided through soil is released slowly and may not suffice the requirement of plants during various stages of extra growth like branching, flowering and fruiting.
• Some common inputs/ingredients viz. cow dung, cow urine, gram flour, jaggery and water can prepare very good nutrients for foliar fertility management. Also sea weed extract.
![Page 12: Integrated nutrient and pest management in Organic Agriculture Presented by: Shubhendu Dash AVP-ACCESS Development Services](https://reader036.vdocument.in/reader036/viewer/2022083009/5697bf8f1a28abf838c8d422/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
• 50 % of pest problems can be solved by good soil fertility management.
• Crop rotation/ intercropping/ trap cropping etc. can reduce 25% of pest problems.
• Rest of 25 % problems can be solved by natural pest control techniques.
• It has been noted that, most of the farmers apply semi decomposed organic matter/ animal dung in the soil. This actually helps growth of soil pests. Soil related diseases can be treated very effectively by preparing good compost.
• Care should be taken that the compost applied on the soil should always be fully decomposed.
