Vegetables is really important

Vegetable farming is the growing of vegetables for human consumption.
Traditionally it was done in the soil in small rows or blocks, often primarily for consumption on the farm, with the excess sold in nearby towns. Later, farms on the edge of large communities could specialize in vegetable production, with the short distance allowing the farmer to get his produce to market while still fresh. Planting in long rows allows machinery to cultivate the fields, increasing efficiency and output; however, the diversity of vegetable crops requires a number of techniques to be used to optimize the growth of each type of plant. Some farms, therefore, specialize in one vegetable; others grow a large variety. Due to the needs to market vegetables while fresh, vegetable gardening has high labor demands. Some farms avoid this by running u-pick operations where the customers pick their own produce.

 The development of ripening technologies and refrigeration has reduced the problems with gSeveral economic models exist for vegetable farms: farms may grow large quantities of a few vegetables and sell them in bulk to major markets or middlemen, which requires large growing operations; farms may produce for local customers, which requires a larger distribution effort; farms may produce a variety of vegetables for sale through on-farm stalls, local farmer's markets, u-pick operations. This is quite different from commodity farm products like wheat and maize which do not have the ripeness problems and are sold off in bulk to the local granary. Large cities often have a central produce market which handles vegetables in a commodity-like manner, and manages distribution to most supermarkets and restaurants.etting produce to market in good condition.

What is soil testing?

Soil testing is a process of evaluating a soil sample with respect to the availability of nutrients and assessing the physical properties of area it represents.
The process can be done either in the field using a soil test kit or in the laboratory.
In the laboratory,determination of the availability of nutrients is done more accurately with the use of laboratory facilities and equipment that give exact measures of the sample analyzed and reagents added.

In the laboratory,measures and practices are observed to prevent contamination from sample to sample and from glassware and water used in the process.


    This practices of the agricultures can help them to identify if the soil is rich   of nutrients..

What is organic agriculture/farming?

Organic agriculture is a production system which avoids or largely excludes the used of synthetic compound fertilizers,growth regulators,and livestock feed additives.
         To the maximum extent of feasible technologies,organic agriculture relies or crop rotations,crop residues,animal manures, legumes,green manures,off-farm organic wastes,mechanical cultivation,mineral bearing rocks and productivity and tilt to supply nutrients and control diseases,insects,weeds,and other pests.


The fear of pesticide residues in foods is a common environmental concern.Organically grown foods taste better and are more healthyand nutritious.More over,they are more resistant to insects and diseases.Organically grown means grains,vegetables or fruits were grown without commercial fertilizer and synthetic pesticides....
