Comparative study of organic and inorganic paddy growers

In modern agriculture indiscriminate application of pesticides has resulted in pesticide resistance in insects that compelled to use different molecules and higher dosages. These practices not only increase the cost of product ion but also quality of food is being affected and environment is polluted. A range of alternative eco-friendly methods of pest management practices and for substituting the chemical fertilizers various forms of organic manures and bio-fertilizers are used. Organic agriculture is a unique product ion management system which promotes and enhances agro-ecosystem health, including biodiversity, biological cycles and soil biological activities. With the increase in population need not only to stabilize agricultural product ion but to increase it further in sustainable manner. Knowledge has been found to be an important factor contributing to adoption of recommended practices by the farmers and farmers attitude and skill also dependent on knowledge. However, the empirical evidences on knowledge, adoption and attitude possessed on organic and inorganic paddy cultivation are much limited. Hence the study has become an important issue which needs to be explored.
