Agriculture

Organic farming

In this Class 9 Agriculture topic from “Agriculture and Environment,” students learn how जैविक खेती produces crops through natural processes and inputs rather than relying mainly on synthetic fertilisers and pesticides. They explore compost, farmyard manure, green manure, biofertilisers, biopesticides, crop rotation, mixed cropping and beneficial organisms. The topic connects these practices with soil fertility, water quality, biodiversity, food safety and long-term sustainability, while also considering challenges such as pest control, labour needs and maintaining yields.
