Abstract

The present study was undertaken for comparative analysis of organic and inorganic farming Practice in Bikaner district of Rajasthan. Bikaner district was selected purposively as it has large area under rainfed farming and mostly fertilisers and pesticides are not being used in this area. Looking to the virginity of land, state government is taking initiatives to bring much area under organic farming under Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY). For the study 30 farmers for organic farming and 30 farmers for inorganic farming were selected from two potential villages. The study was done for two crops viz., Wheat and Bajra. The status of organic farming shows that an area of 1494 acre is actually being undertaken under PKVY scheme.
