Crop Differences
Chemical Farming Organic Farming
Quick lodging of crop Provide good anchorage to the crop
Most of the nutrient is leached beyond the root Physical (structure), chemical (nutrients
zone and the crop might loose much of the transformation and mineralization) and
needed nutrient for better root anchor. Similarly biological activity (decomposition) favors
chemically managed soil doesnt provide much the crop stand and growth. Liveliness of
of the structure support to the crops. The soil provides a good growth media and
combination of above leads to lodging of crop support to crop growth
More chemical residues present in crops
For managing fertility, pest and diseases large No chemical residues present in crop
quantity of synthetic chemicals are used in Only decomposable materials (organic

Harvested produce are in low quality nutrients availability in entire crop growth
The conversion of source to sink, non period, increases up taking capacity and
availability of nutrients especially potassium proper conversion of source to sink
reduce the quality of the product. improves the keeping quality especially of
