Excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in agriculture has come into severe criticism by the environmentally conscious people who opine that the increase in agricultural production was achieved at the cost of soil health. Organic farming is not mere non-chemical agriculture but it is a system of farming based on integral relationships among soil, water, plants, soil microflora and overall relationship between plant and animal kingdom of which man is the apex animal.
