Organic farming of wheat

 Organic farming of wheat is that method of production, in which natural resources are used for the production of crops. The most important component for organic farming is cow dung. Therefore, when preparing the field for organic farming, more and more cow dung is mixed in it. Cow dung solution and naturally prepared manure are given to the plants through the water. Manure of cow dung helps in restoring the fertility of the soil lost during mining. In organic farming, the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers, chemical pests, and disease controllers, and growth factor elements is prohibited. Wheat crop is cultivated in almost all the states of India. In plains, wheat is mostly grown in irrigated and fertile land. If organic fertilizers are used than chemical fertilizers and fertilizers, then the fertility and water holding capacity of the land remain for a long time as well as the cost is also less. For productivity, loamy soil is best; all types of land are suitable for organic farming of wheat. Wheat can be cultivated on different types of land. It is suitable for medium loamy and loamy loam soils with a pH range of 6.5-7.8 and a drainage system containing more than 1% organic carbon. For organic farming of wheat, farmers should adopt local varieties and sowing of indigenous varieties.

For organic farming of wheat, 15 days before sowing, after scattering 25 to 30 tons per hectare of well-rotted manure or vermicompost in the field, plow the field well and level the field by running a pat. Mix well-decomposed cow dung or compost 10 to 15 days before sowing Trichoderma powder, before sowing, spread the treated manure in the field, with the use of Trichoderma, fungal and fungal diseases are effectively prevented. The amount of seed for organic farming of wheat depends on the time, soil moisture, and method of sowing, and grain of the variety. Seeds should be sown in rows. For organic farming of wheat, treat the seed with bio-fertilizers 3 to 5 hours before sowing, Wet one kilogram of seed by splashing it with water. Put 5 to 10 grams of PSB, 5 to 10 grams of Azotobacter powder in it, put a layer of bacterial fertilizers on the seeds, and dry them in the shade, immediately after drying, sow the seeds in the morning or evening. For the organic crops of wheat, it is necessary to have moisture in the field at the time of sowing. Sowing should be done by a plow in the litter at depth of 4 to 5 cm. Keep the distance of rows 19 to 23 cm. If the irrigation system is available, irrigation should be given before sowing or 30-40 days after sowing.

For organic farming of wheat, keep the crop frees from weeds, to control weeds, it is beneficial to do weeding twice in the wheat crop. For organic farming of wheat, the incidence of pests in wheat is very less in plain and mountainous areas. Occasional infestations of moths and rats have also been observed. Termites can damage the crop at any stage of crop growth. This problem is more prominent in rain-fed areas than in irrigated areas, at the time of sowing, the use of neem leaf manure (5 quintal/ha) or neem manure (1 quintal/ha) can be avoided from the attack of termites. Adding a mixture of lime and sulfur in the ground reduces the infestation of termites.

Before seed treatment, ensure that the seeds are healthy, uniform in size, and free from any insect damage or disease. Use pure and certified seeds for organic wheat crops. Use seeds from healthy crops this is tolerant and resistant to diseases and pests. Spraying of organic fungicides Pseudomonas, fluorescent, and Trichoderma at 10 gm per liter of water. When the grain is cooked or the sound of a cut comes when it is plucked from the mouth, then it should be understood that the crop is ready for harvesting. The average productivity of organically grown wheat ranges between 40-50 QTL/ha.

Organic farming is absolutely necessary to maintain soil, environment, and human health. It will also help in reducing the cost of production in agriculture. Along with improving soil fertility, farmers' income will also increase.
