Abstract
Organic farming is the backbone of sustainable agriculture to ensure environmental, social and economic stability for future generations. In order to achieve success in the domain of organic crop management system, the adoption of efficient and correct agronomic practices is of great importance. Different soil tillage methods and crop rotation techniques are widely adopted worldwide to grow organic food. Studies have shown that the use of reduced tillage practices not only improves soil health but also helps in producing high-quality food with increased yield. Moreover, use of crop rotation methods in combination with conservation tillage can serve the purpose of improved crop production without sacrificing the sanctity of environmental and human health.
