Nitrogen Fertilizers, Used in Organic Farming Has Changed the Whole Farming Scenario

1. Nitrogen Fertilizers, Used in Organic Farming Has Changed the Whole Farming Scenario The world has risen up to the ill effects of conventional inorganic farming, and is bending towards the practice of organic farming. The main characteristics of this farming is to use nature to sustain and increase the fertility of soil for a long term, by methods like crop rotation, nitrogen fixation in soil using legumes and other traditional methods combined with science. Nitrogen is an abundant element found in our environment, and is also the primary source of nutrient for plant growth and the green foliage it imparts to them. It is a major component of amino acids, the building blocks of proteins, without which plants would either die or wither out. A deficit of nitrogen or to sustain nitrogen in plants Nitrogen Fertilizers are used. Organic Farming insists in using everything natural, complete abstaining from chemical or genetically modified organisms. It stresses on crop rotation, encouragement of beneficial insects, green manure, and bio fertilizers. Nitrogen consists of 3-4 percent of nitrogen in their above ground tissues, which is very much required for a healthy plant growth. Plants move their nutrients to areas where it is most needed, that is to the young leaves, compared to older ones .Lack of nitrogen or its compounds in plants is clearly visible from the older leaves. Nitrogen is of high importance to plants because of its presence in core components, both in internally and externally that takes part in metabolic process. Organic Farming is based on four principles:  of Health Principle of fairness Principle of ecological balance Principle of Care Nitrogen uptake is carried out by roots, so availability of nitrogen through usage of nitrogen fertilizers is important to wellness of plant parts like leaves, roots, trunks through its absorption, transportation.
