Organic farming
“Organic farming is a system which avoids or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs (such as fertilizers, pesticides, hormones, feed additives etc) and to the maximum extent feasible relay upon crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, on-farm organic waste, mineral grade rock additives and biological system of nutrient mobilization and plant protection”.

Why organic farming ?
Soil is a medium Biological activity Living soil Use of inorganic fertilizers - eutrophication, increased
soil acidity, enhanced nitrate content in drinking water etc
Indiscriminate use of chemicals – reduced diversity, reduced soil fertility and hazards on health
Aims of organic farming
Food of high nutritional quality. Interact in a constructive and life enhancing way
with natural systems. Encourage and enhance biological cycles. Maintain long term fertility of soils. Use renewable on farm resources Work with materials which can be recycled. Minimize all forms of pollutants which may affect
the farm environment.
Turmeric
B.N : Curcuma longa L.
Family: Zingiberaceae
Order: Scitaminae
Active principle: Curcumin
Origin: South East Asia
The ancient and sacred spice of India
Condiment, dye and in cosmetics
- It is valued as a spice as well as a colourant.
Widely used in folk medicines and ayurvedic preparations.
India - Major production and export, monopoly in production.
Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Tamilnadu, and Bihar are the
important states producing turmeric.

Ginger
Ginger
B.N : Zingiber officinale R.
Family: Zingiberaceae
Order: Scitaminae
Active principle: Zingerone / Gingerol
Origin: South East Asia
• Commerce - dried rhizome.• Marketed as raw ginger, dry ginger, bleached ginger, ginger oil,
oleoresin, beer, wine, squash etc. • Dry ginger has good demand abroad especially in the Middle
East markets.• India is the largest exporter of dry ginger.• Ginger is cultivated in almost all states in India.
• Major growing states are
Kerala, Orissa, Meghalaya, Himachal Pradesh and Karnataka.
