Organic farming is a method of farming system which primarily aimed to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of organic wastes and other biological material alongwith beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) to release nutrients to crops for increased sustainable production in an ecofriendly, pollution free environment. Basic components of organic farming are green manures, farm yard manure, vermicompost, crop rotation, biopesticides and biofertilizers. Glomus being a mycorrhizal component, earthworm being a vermicompost and Oscillatoria being a nitrogen fixing blue green algae can be used in organic farming.
