Well one must say "copy and paste" is the best facility offered by the computer world.

Nevertheless I do not see any concrete data from your posting that makes me realize that "organic farming increases the yield".

We are focusing on how to make agriculture commercially successful and what I have been preaching is increasing efficiencies is the only way which should result in increased quality yield. For that end result if it takes the investment then so be it. Instead of paying of loans and freebies which in any case never help the poor farmers it is about time we take a hard commercial approach towards farming and make it a success story.

Here is what we can do instead of visiting any organizations and debate on what is good. You go ahead and find one farmer who is growing color capsicum organically and collect his data and publish on this forum. I am doing a commercial farm using hydroponics where I am planting 6000 plants.

Lets compare yield, costs, profits, fruit quality one on one. That sure will be a great comparison which will enlighten lot of folks.

Cheers!!!

Hello,

Thanks for posting your response.

The original question why this thread started is,

we are into coconut cultivation and IDEA group has proposed a unit for manufacturing organic fertilizer for our own use..like

My question is will the yield be decreased to greater extent while converting from inorganic to organic????

Now if you say that,

" In fact to overcome the worst of organic and inorganic cultivation, I suggest one should go for soil less hydroponic cultivation. "

What do you suggest ?

shifting from soil based coconut cultivation to soil less hydroponic coconut cultivation

or

leave coconut cultivation activities altogether and go for growing color capsicum using hydroponics

If one look at the fact that, how many types of plant can be grown using Hydroponic and how much % of total food requirement, of the total requirement of the population on this planet earth, it can fulfill, you will find that hydroponics / soil less agriculture cannot replace soil based agriculture.

When it comes to soil based agriculture, man made chemicals cannot replace the important role being played by microbes in feeding the plants for millions of years.

Let us accept the fact that, by understanding how the nature works and by learning to live in harmony with nature, on this planet earth, we can live more happily and for longer period.
