NONORGANIC FARMING
METHODS
ARE
ORGANIC FARM PRODUCTS


All kinds of agricultural products are
produced organically, including produce,
grains, meat, dairy, eggs, fibers such as
fruits, vegetables, grains, root crops,
spices, flowers, ornamentals and
processed food products.
Poultry and livestock raised and feed
with organic feeds in natural
environment.
Essential characteristics of
organic systems include:
1.
2.
3.
Design and implementation of an
"organic system plan" that
describes the practices used in
producing crops and livestock
products;
A detailed recordkeeping system
that tracks all products from the
field to point of sale; and
Maintenance of buffer zones to
prevent inadvertent contamination
by synthetic farm chemicals from
adjacent conventional fields.
HOW DO ORGANIC FARMING WORK?



Organic farming build healthy soils by
nourishing the living component of the
soil, the microbial inhabitants that
release, transform, and transfer
nutrients. Soil organic matter contributes
to good soil structure and water-holding
capacity.
Introduce vermi-culture composting.
Adopt green manureing.
SOIL MICROBS

Organic farming feed soil biota (Soil
inoculants - microorganism) and
build soil structure and waterholding capacity. Organic farmers
build soil organic matter with cover
crops, compost, and biologically
based soil amendments.


These produce healthy plants that are
better able to resist disease and insect
predation.
Organic farmers' primary strategy in
controlling pests and diseases is
prevention through good plant nutrition
and management.
COVER CROPS

Organic farmers use cover crops
and sophisticated crop rotations to
manage the field ecology,
effectively disrupting habitat for
weeds, insects, and disease
organisms. Weeds are controlled
through crop rotation, mechanical
tillage, and hand-weeding, as well
as through cover crops, mulches,
and other management methods.

Organic farming rely on a diverse
population of soil organisms, beneficial
insects, and birds to keep pests in check.
When pest populations get out of
balance, growers implement a variety of
strategies such as the use of insect
predators, mating disruption, traps and
barriers.
ORGANIC PROGRAM RULES

Under the National Organic Program
Rule, growers are required to use
sanitation and cultural practices first
before they can resort to applying a
material to control a weed, pest or
disease problem. Use of these
materials in organic production is
regulated, strictly monitored, and
documented. As a last resort,
certain botanical or other nonsynthetic pesticides may be applied.
Natural Farming Practices






Zero cultivation and following,
(Rest and rejuvenate the soil).
Integrated Pest Management (IPM).
Insect traps, lure and attractants.
Use of Biological pest control
(natural enemies of pest)
Use of Organic Compost fertilizer
and bio micro inoculants.
Use of Organic Pest and Disease
control materials (HOC–Herbal
Organic Concentrate)

Use of indigenous resistant plant
varieties and strain.
Practice crop rotation and following
(resting the soil for some time).
Growing and inter-cropping of pest
repellant and herbal plants.
Integrated cropping pattern to
prevent growth of toxic weeds.
Growing the right crop on the right
soil, climate and at the right time
BIOLOGICAL FARMING


The objectives of Biological
Farming as part of Natural
Farming is to produce food
crops without the use and
traces of toxic synthetic
chemical product.
In this case, we will be using
living organisms from the
microscopic beneficial fungus
and bacteria to insects and
animals and other life forms.
MATERIALS USED IN NATURAL
FARMING SYSTEMS: Review
Organic pesticides and repellants.
 Organic fungicides and antibiotics.
 Organic compost fertilizers w/ BMO.
 Organic Foliar Fertilizer w/ BMO.
 Biological Pest Control agents:
1. Beneficial fungus, bacteria & yeast.
2. Use of parasites and predators.
3. Birds, animals feeding on pests.

We have very good news. We developed
a new organic product that can replace
many Agro Chemicals used in
conventional farming. It is HOC-4n1,
with four properties:
Foliar Fertilizer with trace elements
Pest Repellant
Insecticide
Fungicide
With BMO (Beneficial Microorganism)
