Abstract

The success of organic farming depends to a great extent on the efficiency of agronomic management adopted to stimulate and augment the underlying productivity of the soil resources. All the managemental practices followed in organic farming are governed by the principles of ecology and are within the ecological means. Organic farming has developed some rules and standards. There is very little scope for change and flexibility. Thus, the Organic farming does not require best use of options available rather the best use of options that have been approved. Thus, in India, adoption of pure organic farming is possible partially, more specifically crops having high export potential in International markets, will prove a boon for poor farmers.
