Ten Steps Towards

Organic Farming
 Cultivating Diversity

Grow different varieties of crops in your land. Make your land more
fertile, create biodiversity and become self- reliant. In mixed crop
pattern, even if one crop fails, another gives yield.
Say ‘Goodbye’ to Chemical Fertilizer

• Soil is the lifeline of

agriculture, contains
millions of
microorganisms which
helps in making the soil
fertile. Chemical
fertilizers kill the
microorganisms,
disrupt soil fertility and
the yield decreases
gradually.
‘NO’ to Chemical Insecticides

Only 5 % of pests are harmful for crops and the rest 95% are
beneficial.With the help of birds and useful pests, harmful pests
can be controlled easily.
Native Seeds for Better Tomorrow

Native seeds have played an

important role in organic
farming. They will not ask for
more water, fertilizer and care
but, give quality and tasty food
and fodder. They have adjusted
to the environment in which
they have evolved and grow
easily without getting affected
by pests or weeds.
Millet Diversity
 Water is Life
In recent times, draining ground water through bore wells has
reached its zenith. If this trend continues for some more time, ground
water will definitely get exhausted. Stop this dangerous habit
immediately. Through check dams and percolation ponds, you can
store rain water for better use.
 Soil is Farmer’s Gold

If plants have to grow up to be healthy, the soil should be very fertile. This means,
organic matter should be in good quantity. This increases the microbial activity and
helps earthworms activity. Grow trees on the ridge and dig small pits across the field
so that water will not gush out.
Don’t be Angry Over Weeds!

Weeds represent the fertility of soil. Many friendly insects take

shelter in weeds. If the weeds are destroyed, then the friendly
insects lose their natural habitation. Thus, their number reduces
drastically. Weeds also act as cover for the topsoil. It maintains
humidity and checks soil erosion.
Cover... Cover... Cover…

Due to soil erosion, the fertlity of

the farm land diminishes rapidly.
Our concern should be to check
this menace immediately. To
achieve this, you need not have to
spend anything. Cover your
agriculture land with waste such as
grass, fodder or leaves.
Love Your Livestock

The cattle have a special place in agriculture. They till the land, pull load,
give milk and nourish the soil with their organic waste. Cattle of local breed
are resistant to diseases and can easily adopt themselves to the local
environment.
Live Fencing

Grow various types of trees around the boundary of your farmland. They not
only provide fodder , but also work as wind breakers, check soil erosion and
flow of rainwater, give shelter to birds which in turn check pest attacks.
