Organic and inorganic farming

Image
Organic versus Inorganic farming O rganic farming is farming using natural (organic) materials & resources, and methods. Organic farming avoids the use of chemicals such as pesticides, insecticides and artificial fertilizers in maintaining crops and the soil fertility. Instead, the farmer uses animal waste as fertilizer, crop rotation for soil fertility maintenance, early planting to control pests, spacing and thinning to prevent diseases and so on. All those fall under the concept of organic farming. Inorganic farming on the other hand refers to the use of chemicals, either for fertilizers or  in controlling pests & diseases as well weeds. Inorganic farming has high productivity and efficiency as since the chemicals don't take long to act.

Importance of soil health

Soil health  is a crucial aspect of sustainable agriculture. It refers to the ability of the soil to support biodiversity and maintain environmental quality. Features of a healthy soil are such as : * Good structure - Well aggregated soil with adequate pore spaces for air and water movement. * Organic matter - High levels of organic matter, which contribute  to nutrient availability, water retention. * Biodiversity - A rich diversity of soil organisms, including bacteria, fungi, earthworms and insects, which contribute to nutrient cycle and soil structure. * Water infiltration and retention - Soil that efficiently absorbs and retains water, reducing runoff and erosion. Also the soil with suitable soil PH bearable by plants other organisms. Soil health significance Healthy soil is critical for nutrient cycling , the process through which nutrients are converted into forms that plants can absorb. Healthy soil also has good water-holding capacity, reducing the risk of drought o...
