Abstract:
Due to their potential to promote horticultural sustainability, organic farming methods have attracted a lot of attention recently. Crop rotation, cover crops, and integrated pest control are essential practices for preserving ecosystem health, soil fertility, and biodiversity. These procedures ensure the long-term sustainability of horticulture production systems by reducing soil erosion, improving water retention, and mitigating environmental pollution. Market demand for organic produce drives up prices, and lower input costs help businesses become more profitable and economic. Additionally, organic farming improves rural livelihoods, supports regional economies, and opens up employment prospects.
