Vermicompost:- vermicomopost is nothing but the excreta of earthworm which are rich in humus and plant nutrients i.e micro and macro nutrients. simply, it is the compost which is made from kitchen waste,agricultural by-products and livestock by-products with the aid of special species of earthworms. vermicompost vermicompost are highly important to maintain fertility of soil as it is very rich in humus content,nitrogen,potassium,phosphorus,calcium and magnesium. It contains 5 times more the available nitrogen,7 times the available potash and 1.5 times more calcium than that of top fertile soil.It has excellent aeration,porosity,water holding capacity.It is also rich in bacteria;thus promotes bacterial activity in the soil. Materials requried for vermicompost preparation:- Composting bed:- Generally pucca bed of 1.5-2 m length,1 m breadth and 0.5-1 m height is constructed for vermicompost preparation.A suitable place with shadow is to be selected for bed preparation.

Organic farming:- Organic farming is a technique of growing crops and rearing of livestocks naturally. It means that it focuses on the use of biological materials such as organic manure, green manure, farmyard manure, etc to produce agricultural products and avoid the use of synthetic chemical fertilizers to maintain soil fertility and ecological balance thereby reducing pollution and westage. According to USDA(United State department of agriculture), it is a system which avoid or largely excludes the use of synthetic inputs such as chemical fertilizers, pesticides, herbicides, plants hormone, etc and to the maximum extent depend upon crop rotation, crop residue, animal manure and biological system of nutrients mobilization and plant protection. According to FAO, "organic farming is an unique production management system which promotes and enhances agro ecosystem health including Bio-diversity, biological cycles and soil biological activities and this is accomplished by using...

Organic manure :- Organic manure are the natural plant and animal products that are capable of providing nutrients to the plants. They are bulky in nature and have no definite composition. Manures are effective source of nutrients for most of the crops. The manures can also be used along with chemical fertilizers to enhance the productivity of soil. The manures when applied to the soils add to the organic fraction of soil. Organic manure  contains plant nutrients and they have direct effect on the plant and crop growth. It increases the soil organic matter content and also improves the physical properties of soil. It increases the humus content of soil and as a result water holding capacity of soil gets increased. Bulky organic manure supply food for soil micro-organisms. This increases the activity of soil microbes which in turn converts unavailable form of plant nutrients to readily available form. Role of organic manure:-  Organic manure binds the soil parti...

Seed:- seed are the fertilized ovule used for multiplication or raising new crop. It is the basic part of any plants. It is made up of seed coat and embryo. Different types of seed Type of seed:-  There are two types of seed. They are:- Monocotyledonous seed and Dicotyledonous seed Monocotyledonous seeds:-  As the name suggest, it has only one cotyledon. There is only one outer layering of seed coat. Monocotyledonous seeds have following parts. Seed coat:-  In the seed of cereal crops like maize have membranous seed coat.  Endosperm:-  The endosperm is generally bulky and store nutrients for growing seedlings. Generally monocotyledonous seeds are endospermic.  Aleuron layer:- It is the proteinous layer that separates outer covering of endosperm with embryo.  Embryo:-  It is small and situated in a groove at one end of endosperm.  Scutellum:- This is one large and shield shaped cotyledon.  Embryonal axis:- Plumule...

Sustainable agriculture  is an integrated system of crop and livestock production along with proper allocation of resources like land, capital, labour, etc that will last for long term without degrading the quality of ecosystem. Need of sustainable agriculture:- It satisfy human food and fibre needs.  It helps to enhance the quality of environment and the natural resources base upon which the agricultural economy is dependent.  It helps to make the most efficient use of non renewable resources and on farm resources and integrate, where appropriate, natural biological cycles and control.  Sustain the economic viability of farm operations Enhance the quality of life for farmers and society as a whole.  Importance of sustainable agriculture:- Sustainable agriculture is "economically sustainable":- it provides secure living to farmers and others employed in food production and processing. An economically sustainable approach also provides access to go...

Mushroom are edible fungi used for medicinal purpose for thousands of year to strengthen immunity and prevent bacteria from disrupting digestion.  Many edible mushrooms are potent disease fighter which can target malignant or cancerous cell while protecting and even supporting the healthy cell.  It posses antioxidant properties;thus help to eliminate toxic out of the body.  Mushroom like Cordyceps sinensis is used to treat respiratory and pulmonary diseases. It is also used in treating immune disorder and has been used in association with cancer chemotherapy treatment and surgery.  Boletus edulis is the only species that have been found to have anti tumor properties.  Auricularia auricula helps to enhance immune system.
