Question

Suggest any two measures for better productivity and organic farming.

Answer 1

1. Crop Rotation and Intercropping: This involves growing a sequence of crops (for example, cereals followed by pulses) or various crops on the same plot of land. This approach organically replenishes soil nutrients such as nitrogen, disrupts insect and disease life cycles, and guarantees that the land is productive throughout the seasons.
2. Use of Bio-fertilizers and Organic Manure: The use of organic manures (such as vermicompost, cow dung, or green manure) and biofertilizers (such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, or Blue Green Algae). These compounds improve soil structure, microbial activity, and water-holding capacity, resulting in long-term yields.
