ABSTRACT

There was a time when every scientific research had a large importance in society but ignoring its side effects. So some that types of invention are widely accepted which are not eco-friendly. The conventional farming i.e. the Inorganic farming is one of its example. Due to the use of inorganic pesticides and fertilizers some serious environmental problems are appeared. The fertilizers and pesticides used in this type of farming are very reactive. They form some hazardous substances by reacting among themselves. The deposition of such hazardous substance is very bad for the fertility of soil. Various cycles in soil such as nitrogen cycle, carbon cycle, and water cycle are affected The pesticide and the fertilizers pollute the water bodies and ground water system. The most important worry due to the application of the inorganic fertilizers and pesticide is that some useful soil microorganism as the earthworm dies due to it. The best example if we put an earthworm in a beaker containing urea solution then it will die .So the application of the in inorganic fertilizers are also responsible for death of farmer friend earthworm. Some helping microorganism as Nitrogen fixing bacteria also die due to this type of Fertilizer .The gradual application of Fertilizer is responsible for the Some of those are water pollution, soil pollution, air pollution, ozone layer depletion, greenhouse effect etc. So now we have to think some different in our farming. Organic farming is such a type of farming, which has no side effect on water, soil or air. This method has effective production. In this method organic fertilizers and organic pesticides are used. Vermicomposting, green manure are the organic fertilizers .Organic/bio insecticides are formed from cow urine, tobacco leave extract, neam leave extracts. The most important point in those substances that those are eco- friendly and their production is easy and economic. So In a single sentence we can say “organic farming is the safe guard of soil”
