Organic Production of Vegetable Crops

About this book

Organic vegetable farming involves the use of biological resources and avoiding the use of synthetic substances for maintaining soil productivity and ecological balance, thereby minimizing wastage and environmental pollution. This new book provides a comprehensive introduction and covers a wide range of topics on successful production of organic vegetable crops.

The book introduces the concepts, importance, and scope of organic farming, highlighting best practices and the do's and don'ts. It then goes on to cover crucial topics on organic vegetable production, including methods for enhancing soil fertility, green manuring, role of biofertilizers, composting methods, agricultural waste, coir composting, biodynamic vegetable farming, botanical and biocontrol agents, and much more. The book also explores important subjects in organic farming such as the potential of zero-budget natural farming, nonconventional vermicomposting in organic farming, biodynamic vegetable farming, plant disease management, and processing and quality control for organic foods. In addition, the book discusses the export opportunities and challenges faced in organic farming.
