Handbook of Organic Farming

Description

Organic farming is an alternative agricultural system which originated in reaction to rapidly changing farming practices after World War II. Organic farming excludes the use of synthetic pesticides, herbicides, and fertilizers, and instead relies on natural methods to maintain soil health and control pests and diseases. Organic farming is a holistic approach to agriculture that emphasizes sustainability, environmental health, and animal welfare. This book covers the fundamentals of organic farming, including the principles and practices of organic farming, soil management, crop management, pest and disease management, and the marketing of organic products. It is an excellent resource for students and professionals in the fields of agronomy, horticulture, and sustainable agriculture.
