Evaluation of Cow Based Bio-Enhancers on Production of Broccoli (Brassica oleracea)

Seeing the adverse impact of excessive use of agrochemicals on soil health and environment, Government of India promotes organic farming. Organic farming has been included as a special category of farming in the National Agriculture Policy approved by the Government of India during 2000. The policy seeks to actualize the area and crop potential for organic farming, sustaining soil fertility, conserving bio-resources, strengthening rural economy, promoting value addition, accelerating the growth of agrobusiness and securing a fair standard of living for the farmers and agricultural workers and their families.
