Future plan-organic vegetable cultivation
Wednesday, December 10, 2008
The consumer interest in organic vegetables and grains is rising. The development of organic vegetable production in India is slowed down because the range of species grown in larger amounts is small. The major problems can be identified as insufficient nutrient availability, difficulties with pest and disease management, and product quality. There is a lack of knowledge on cultivation methods adapted specifically for handling these problems in organic vegetable production. Several interactions exist between these problems and neither of them can be handled isolated.
SB HORTI FARMS major objective is to create better opportunities for an increased organic production of a wider range of vegetables and other crops. The partial objectives address three important problem areas and their interaction:
1.Nutrition of the crops
2.Handling of pests and diseases
3.Quality of the produce
Development of cultivation techniques aimed at crop protection and quality, and an improved basis for selecting well-adapted varieties.Furthermore, aspects of soil biology relevant for crop protection , such as improved living conditions for soil organisms, which may serve as predators for pests.
