BASIC CONCEPT OF ORGANIC FARMINGBuilding up the biological fertility of the soil so that the crops take the nutrients they need from the steady turnover within the soil nutrients produced in this way are released in harmony with the needs of the plants.Control of pests, diseases, and weeds is achieved by ecological balance within the system and by the use of bio-pesticides and various cultural techniques such as crop rotation, mixed cropping, and cultivation.Organic farmers recycle all wastes and manures within a farm but the export of the products from the farm results in a steady drain of nutrients.In a situation, where conservation of energy and resources is considered to be important, community or country would make every effort to recycles to all urban and industrial wastes back to agriculture and thus the system would be only be a small inputs of new resources to top up soil fertility.VIJAY ANTONY ORGANIC PRIVATE LIMITED

LATENT NEEDS OF ORGANIC FARMING OF VEGETABLE CROPS IN INDIAMost of the vegetable crops are eaten fresh or used for health care; hence any contamination (chemical residue) may lead to various kinds of health hazardsIn India majority of the vegetable growers are poor, small and marginal farmersDecrease in land productivity due to ever increasing use of chemical fertilizersThere are not many scientific breakthroughs in improving quality and production ofvegetable cropsThe ever-increasing cost of production in chemical farming including investments in manufacturing fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation etc despite massive government subsidies is a major cause of concern, which is very low in organic farming.High environment pollutionDue to globalisation, which affects every industry, there is needed to be competent and compete with the best in the World urges us to give the adequate weighages to Organic Farming of vegetable cropsOrganic Farming of vegetable crops generates income through International exports or by saving production costs.Organic Farming also able to secure a place of India on International markets by producing high value vegetable crops.Excessive use of chemical fertilizers as well as pesticides not only increases the cost of production but also poses threat to the environment quality, ecological stability and sustainability of production. We have gained quantity but at expense of quality.In developing countries like India, especially in low input traditional system, properly managed organic farming system can increase the crop productivity and restore the natural base.The decision to go for Organic Farming seems partly financial, partly out of concern for the environment and partly because it made sense to threat the land and animal as well without chemicals.VIJAY ANTONY ORGANIC PRIVATE LIMITED

WHY TOTAL ADOPTION OF ORGANIC FARMING OF VEGETABLE CROPS IS NOT FEASIBLE/ VIABLE IN INDIA?THOUGH ORGANIC FARMING IS ONE OF THE BEST APPROACH TO GET SUSTAINABILITY IN THE CROP PRODUCTION, STILL SOME CONSTRAINTS ARE THERE IN ADOPTION OF ORGANIC FARMING IN FULL FLEDGE UNDER INDIAN CONDITIONS. IT IS BECAUSE OF FOLLOWING REASONS:

Organic farming is highly knowledge intensive farming. So one has to keep pace with the dynamics of nature to increase the biological productivity of the soil.There is no organized extension machinery to disseminate the proven technologies and in many case the basic information itself is not available.Reduction of yield in initial few years of conversion from pure chemical farming to organic farming, once the farmers switch over to Organic Farming.Organic inputs may be difficult to generate on the farm.The organic produce may not find an early market as most of the vegetables are perishable in natureShifting to pure organic farming is a very time consuming and laborious methods.Number of cattle households decreased gradually day by day, causing scarcity of FYM.Nutrient content is very low in organic sources. Varied nutrient content in organic materials, so it becomes difficult to farmers to calculate the actual amount of organic materials to be added in soil.Collection and processing handling from wastes are most complicated.Cattle dung, urine and farm wastes are to handle manually.VIJAY ANTONY ORGANIC PRIVATE LIMITED

WHY TOTAL ADOPTION OF ORGANIC FARMING OF VEGETABLE CROPS IS NOT FEASIBLE/ VIABLE IN INDIA?The consumer need protection, so the Certification and Inspection programme have to be Nationwide.Exporting of organic produce calls for adhering to predetermined organic standards, which should be confirmed to International Market demand also.There is lacking of adequate research & development backup as well as training in Organic Farming in India. There is problem in availability, transportation, and application of biological materials to meet the nutrient demand of the crops.Biological pest control is very knowledge intensive.Green manuring has also become uncommon as the farmers are more interested to grow as many crops of economic importance as possible and it has become difficult to have green manure crops in the crop sequences.Green leaf manuring also has become limit due to over exploitation of shrubs and trees.Lack of package of practices involving Organic-farming practices along with cost benefit ratio of different crops.Lack of farmers adoption without any financial help from government or other development agencies because of chances of yield loss in initial years of adoption.VIJAY ANTONY ORGANIC PRIVATE LIMITED

ISSUES AND STRATEGIES OF ORGANIC VEGETABLE FARMING IN INDIAThe future success of organic vegetable production would largely depend upon size of the farm and supplies of non-chemical inputs, which have to be thoroughly backed up by well proven package of practices addressing to the objectives of producing vegetable organically. These organic farming practices have to be turn to change in traditional concept of farming. The following issues and their viable strategies are suggested to make organic vegetable production more vibrant, dynamic, and responsive to changing consumer demand both locally and globally as well.

The research for Organic farming in vegetable crops must be on a system basis. It must be integrated one and must not be looking at in isolation.The task of research would be to produce technologies, which can not only increase more food but also more jobs and more incomes. That means, research must aim at achieving triple goal of more job, more incomes and more food.The research for organic farming should be focused on developing technologies which may attract the vegetable growers to adopt them, keeping in view of the requirements of small holdings of resource poor small and marginal farmersThe research should be in a holistic manner with long-term evaluation of different organic substratesIdentification of suitable cover crop and smother crop in a given cropping systemThere should be strategy for monitoring of changes in groundwater quality with references to heavy metal toxicity, besides nitrate pollution.Identification of soil improving crops under major agro-climatic zoneEvaluation of soil conservation practices of disease management, change in the habitat for beneficial insects and suitability of trap crops in organic culture and identification of nematode repellant cover crops especially from various vegetable crops should be given due emphasisVIJAY ANTONY ORGANIC PRIVATE LIMITED

ISSUES AND STRATEGIES OF ORGANIC VEGETABLE FARMING IN INDIADevelopment of techniques for modifying fertilizer recommendations for new crop rotations using different cover crops and full proof technology for transformation of traditionally used chemicals inputs farm into a successful organic farm.Developing suitable varieties or hybrids for organic cultivation.Suitable packages of technologies are to be developed for organically grown vegetables.Large scale multiplication of bio-fertilizers, vermicompost, bio-control agents and distribution to the farmers at reasonable rates.There should be proper research efforts for production and commercialization of biopesticides and extension services to educate the farmers to use them.Organic foods are proved superior in terms of health and safety, but there is no scientific evidence to prove their superiority in terms of taste and nutrition, as most of the studies are often inconclusive. Therefore, strategy should be made for proper evaluation of quality parameters and packaging of organic foods.Efforts should be made to select suitable cropping systems or more precisely, farming systems specific to those agro climatic zones having higher productivity under Organic Farming. The Government should provide them adequate infrastructure facilities to make the Organic Farming, a profitable enterprise.There is need for marketing research for organically produce for export potential. There should be proper planning for marketing of organically grown fruits, vegetables and food grains that should help farmers to get a better price for their produce. This, in turn, should motivate them to invest more in Organic Farming.There should be incentives to the growers who produce organic vegetables.Extension scientists must develop strategy to create interest in small and marginal farmers to adopt organic farming technologies for growing vegetable crops.
