Beschreibung
Organic agriculture is being promoted against a background of intensive discussions about production methods, food and feed quality and renewable resources, with the overall aim of long-term sustainability. This is a reference book which describes the importance of organic cultivation of chickpea and field pea as a production system that sustains the health of soils, ecosystems and people. The intensive cropping coupled with imbalanced nutritional supplementation has resulted into deficiency of certain essential nutrient elements in the soil. To improve the productivity, balanced plant nutrition has an imminent role, for which use of organic source of nutrition can be an option. The latest research findings in organic cultivation of chickpea and field pea had been incorporated in this book and it contains reliable and redialy useable information of organic farming.
