Abstract

India has shown interest on the Genetically Modified Crops (GM Crops) like Bacillus Thurungensis (Bt) cotton and also high used of chemical, fertilizer and pesticide etc. which are highly hazardous to the environment. Organic farming has the potential to provide benefits in terms of environmental protection, conservation of non-renewable resources and improved food quality. The fundamental purpose of this paper is to evaluate the economic facets of the small and marginal farmers to speculate solutions on how farmers will manage enhance their income with organic farming. The important reasons which emphasis the need for organic farming in the country are the fact that majority of the farming community is resource poor and purchase of fertilizers and chemicals in adequate quantities is beyond their capacity Bikaner district was selected purposively as it has large area under rainfed farming and mostly fertilizers and pesticides are not being used in this area.

Conclusion

The analysis of resource use pattern revealed that no major difference was in utilization of machine labour in per farming various of pertains of organic and inorganic bajra. However, more family labour were employed in production of inorganic bajra crop. In respect of seed quantity, more seed 7.50 kg used in organic bajra against 5.34 kg seed in inorganic bajra crop, but more number (2.61) of irrigation applied in case of inorganic bajra against 1.45 inflation in organic bajra. In case of wheat crop more (6.55) machine hrs. were used in inorganic wheat in comparison of 5.64 to organic wheat. Similarly higher human laboue were utilized cultivation of inorganic wheat in comparison of organic wheat it was (173.430 and (137.72) hrs respectively, but in case of seed more quantity was used in organic wheat crop then inorganic wheat crop. FYM was used by the farmer in both type of farming but about 5 time more organic manure was supplied in the field of organic wheat in comparison of inorgan
