Paper Review

Azospirillum biofertilizers have a history going back to the beginning of the XXth However, researches still have to find new and competitive strains and improve biofertilizers production and application techniques. They are one of te most used biofertilizers in organic farming. The present paper review and analyses the development of the new agriculture using such microorganism, and showing not only the biofertilization effect but some biocontrol properties of the presented strains. The products containing Azospirillum strains and their use begin to play an important role in modern agriculture and in special in some countries in course of development as an alternative to chemical expensive and some time not environmental friendly products. Countries from Asia, South America, use it in huge quantities. In developed area of the lobe, there are only some tiny initiative, mainly because the multinational companies, and because of the legislation in use.

Within plants grown by human being, in economical and agronomical point of view, cereals are the most important group of crops. Cereals, especially bread made of them, are major staple food in the world. For thousands years, from the moment of their domestication, ancient species of hulled wheats, like einkorn (Triticum monococcum) and emmer (Triticum dicoccum), were basic part of people diet. It was so until modern wheats (Triticum aestivum) became popular. In some world regions ancient wheats are cultivated nowadays. Adapting their farming techniques to modern agriculture and organic farming is related with increasing popularity of healthy eating. Results of organic farming techniques and cultivation research of einkorn and emmer are being presented in this article. Hulled wheats are tolerant to various biotic as well as abiotic stress conditions and can be grown in poor soil condition providing the farmer an advantage to take the crop. This also opens opportunities for manufacturers to seek the untapped market.

Soil Microbial Population

The intensification and extension of modern agriculture is amongst the greatest threats to worldwide biodiversity and thereby food security. Promotion of genetic uniformity in the name of agricultural development cannot lead to sustainable agriculture and it has devastating effect on food security of next generation. Monoculture and replacement of traditional varieties by improved or exotic varieties has led to the decline of many traditional varieties in crops such as paddy, wheat, pulses, oil seeds and cotton in India. Thousands of varieties of rice, cotton, minor millets, pulses, and other crops are no longer in use. Besides, to sustain the yield under monocropping system, heavy pesticide applications were given to crops. This in turn affects the soil microbial population and insect diversity and questions the stability and sustainability of Indian agriculture. Sustainable farming systems such as organic farming act as a possible solution to this continued loss of biodiversity. This paper assesses the impacts of organic farming, relative to conventional agriculture on biodiversity, through a review of comparative studies of the two systems.

This study was carried out to evaluate the effect of farming methods (organic and convectional) on some nutrients and heavy metals contents of cassava roots. Two cassava cultivars (TME 419 and pro vitamin A) were planted, employing organic and convectional farming methods. Within the organic farming, organic soil amendment was carried out, while in the convectional farming, synthesize fertilizers (NPK 15:15:15 and Maxi Calmag) were used. The organic amendment (compost manure) was formulated from poultry waste, cattle dung and wood sawdust in the ratio of 50%:25%:25% (volume to volume). The two cassava cultivars were planted and closely monitored for 10 months, applying all the relevant agronomic in relation to each farming method. Chemical analyses of the soil and cassava roots were carried out in accordance to standard methods. From the results, the farming methods had significant (p ≤ 0.05) effect on all the parameters (nitrate, copper, lead, iron, calcium and potassium) studied in the two cassava cultivars. The average nitrate content of the convectional cassava roots was 248.84 mg/kg, which was higher than the 108.59 mg/kg recorded in the organic cassava roots. In addition, the organic cassava roots had lower average calcium content (646.47 mg/kg) Compared to the convectional cassava roots (1788.36 mg/kg). However, significantly lower lead and copper contents of organic cassava roots were recorded, when compared with conventional cassava roots. The lower content of nitrate (a toxic substance) and other heavy metals (copper and lead) in the organic cassava roots, than in the convectional cassava roots shows the relevance of organic farming in modern agriculture.

Agripreneur is defined as an “entrepreneur whose main business is agriculture or agriculture-related”. The case study was conducted in the Tirunelveli district of Tamil Nadu. A discussion was made with the engineer cum Organic farming who was successful in organic farming for five years. He was practicing vertical gardening, terrace garden, aquaponics, hydroponics and aquaculture in an organic manner under protected cultivation in his farm at Tirunelveli. The need for research was to identify the extraordinary and unique farmer who was leading success in the field of organic farming. The objective of this case study was to bring out and narrate the facts which had been adopted to run the successful model for modern agriculture. The case study approach was made by preparing a semi-structured interview schedule, followed by the field visit, for collecting the data about the profile, skills, work experience, knowledge of the Agripreneur in agriculture and its allied sectors were identified and noted down. Thus, the study had been given a solution to efficiently utilize space and water by means of adopting terrace garden, hydroponics and aquaponics. The focus of the study was to highlight the effectiveness, adaptability and cost for other small farmers.
