COMPARATIVE STUDY OF ORGANIC AND CONVENTIONAL FARMING: A REVIEW

Organic and conventional farming are the two most common farming methods. Our forefathers engaged in organic farming but Farmers nowadays use a conventional method to increase and speed up production. In this comparison, some aspects of organic and conventional farming are discussed. Compare the farming area where the plant is grown. We all know that inorganic farming produces more than organic farming because of fertilizer, weedicide and pesticide. Early research comparing the effectiveness of organic and conventional systems revealed that organic systems have lower yield response ratios. Organic farming has a high soil carbon ratio when compared to conventional farming. It has been indicated that organic farming reduces nutrient losses due to leaching and runoff/erosion. Organic processing is primarily reliant on nonchemical control methods based on systems. In traditional systems, chemical management is the most common method. Due to price premiums, organic farming is typically more profitable than conventional farming.
