| Summary, etc |
In this study, an attempt has been made to analyze the sustainability of organic farming and inorganic farming in wet and dry land in Nagapattinam and Erode districts of Tamil Nadu. Further, it has taken into account the organic and inorganic farming under different sizes of land holding, viz., marginal, small, medium and large farms. About 612 farm households have been selected and interviewed for the present study. Among them, 311 farm households have been interviewed from Erode district and 301 farm households have been interviewed from Nagapattinam district. Out of 301 households from Nagapattinam district, 143 are organic farmers and 158 are inorganic farmers. Similarly, out of 311 farm households from Erode district, 153 are organic farmers and 158 are inorganic farmers. It is found that the average net return from paddy is significant from organic farming during samba season in both Nagapattinam district and Erode district as compared to kuruvai season. The average return per acre from paddy, sugarcane, groundnut, gingelly, black gram, green gram, foxtail millet and small millet is higher in organic farming as compared to inorganic farming during the samba season in wet land. Considering this, it may be suggested that the Government should take adequate measures to disseminate the organic farming practices in other districts of Tamil Nadu as well as in other states also through an extensive training on the awareness of organic farming, organic input preparation, enriching fertility of soil, value addition to the organic agricultural products and importance of animal rearing in producing organic manure for organic farming. As the farmers lack proper network for organic market, the role of the Government also becomes vital in creating proper network for marketing of organic agricultural products in Tamil Nadu state. – Reproduced |
