This is accomplished by eliminating the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, minimizing soil erosion by up to 50% and increasing crop yields up to five-fold within five years
In America researchers have found that if a farmer follows organic farming methods he can reduce the cost of production by almost 25% as he will eliminate the use of pesticides, synthetic fertilizers and minimize erosion of soil by almost 50% and enhance crop yield by 5 fold within 4 to 5 years time.
