Role of Organic Manures in yield increase and

Impact of Sustainable Agriculture

CHEMICAL FERTILIZERS DISADVANTAGES:

India is Agriculture country, Nearly 70% of the people depends on agriculture. To meet the demand of food grains in the country, chemical fertilizers & pesticides are used for enhance the crop production. By using of chemical fertilizers the carbon % in soil continuously depleting & microbial population is coming down. If, Carbon percentage is decreased in the soil ultimately its effects on yield of crop. To overcome these problems, usage of Compost, Green manures & Bio-fertilizers was started. But, replacing of all the macro & micro nutrients from above practices is very difficult. and also these practices also not successed due to certain limits.

For the replace of Macronutrients in large quantity and micro nutrients and for enhance the yield of crop in organic way what is the solution???

ORGANIC FERTILIZERS

ADVANTAGES OF ORGANIC FERTILIZERS:

Organic fertilizers contain the more carbon percentage so that soil carbon percentage of soil also increased. By using of organic fertilizers the microbial flora in the soil will increase, by this microbial activity the nutrient uptake will increase. The organic fertilizers are replace the macro & micro nutrients. All these effects will lead to the yield increase of soil

The yield was increased nearly 10-15%

DEMAND OF ORGANIC FOOD:

The demand of environmental friendly products such as organic foods has significantly Increased due to increasing awareness of health. The market for organically produced food has expanded considerably in recent years, India has experienced phenomenal growth in production of organic foods in recent decades.

Over 70% of the 120,000 tones organic products grown in the country are exported.

SUPPLY CHAIN MANAGEMENT OF ORGANIC FOODS:

Marketing channel for organic produces similar to the conventional produce.

The various organic foods & vegetable marketing channels are summarized as below :

ORGANIC AGRICULTURE IN INDIA, ISSUES.,

Production under Organic Agriculture...!

Consumer Demand for Organic products!

Organic supply chain management in Agri Business!

The success is linked to Knowledge and Practices in Supply chain management

CHALLENGES:

Quality and Certification credibility Food Safety Demand for Supply

Myth to change from Conventional Farming

GMO contamination

BENEFITS OF ORGANIC FARMING:

Consumer Benefits:
High Nutrition value Poison-free produces Food Tests Better

Grower Benefits: Diseases & Pest Resistance Weed Competitiveness Lower Input Costs Yield Matches/More yields Drought Resistance Added Value

Food Keeps longer
