Organic vegetable farming is somewhat challenging for new farmers. As they do not have enough experience and knowledge about this cultivation.
Soil Requirements and Management:
The components that organic vegetable farming requires is Manures, Biofertilizers, Vermicompost, Nitrogen, Potassium, Phosphorus, Sulfur, Green Sand, Rock phosphate, Boron, Magnesium Sulfate, Iron Sulfate, Aluminium Sulfate, Guano, Bone Meal, Gluconate, Langbeinite, and green manure crops etc.
The most important things to know:
To create the perfect soil for plants & vegetables, non-chemical vegetable farmers vastly rely on compost or Organic matter fertilizer.
How compost or Organic matter fertilizer maintains the soil.
. Green manure, Organic fertilizer helps to get nitrogen from the atmosphere, increases soil nutrients, prevents erosion, furthermore it stores and holds the organic matters & nutrients in the non-growth season.
- Crop rotation and green manure are also used to prevent diseases & insects.
- The farmers also use animal manure which is a great advantage for the land.
