Full Description
This title examines fundamental concepts and practices of sustainable agriculture with focus on soil management, water conservation, and watershed development. It addresses organic farming systems and integrated nutrient management including use of bio-fertilizers, vermicompost, and natural pest control methods. Chapters explore role of agroforestry systems and cover crops in maintaining soil health and ecosystem sustainability, and also:
Examines fundamental concepts of sustainable agriculture with focus on soil tillage practices, water management, and watershed development for sustaining crop productivity and food security
Addresses organic farming systems and integrated nutrient management approaches including use of bio-fertilizers, vermicompost, and earthworms for sustainable agricultural production
Covers natural pest management strategies and biological control methods for checking crop pests without chemical interventions in sustainable farming systems
Explores role of agroforestry systems and cover crops in maintaining soil health, biodiversity conservation, and sustainability of agricultural ecosystems
Examines indigenous technological knowledge and traditional farming practices with emphasis on their relevance and application in modern sustainable agriculture
