&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Farm experts say cotton crop is considered the largest consumer of pesticides and insecticides and Punjab can reduce its chemical load with a dedicated policy on organic farming&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Punjab lacks a policy to promote organic cotton cultivation even as farmers associated voluntarily with it see viability of chemical-free production of the cash crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farm experts say cotton crop is considered the largest consumer of pesticides and insecticides and Punjab can reduce its chemical load with a dedicated policy on organic farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the chemical-free fields have lesser irrigation requirements, organic farming of cotton can pay dividends in the long term, they say.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jaitu-based Kheti Virasat Mission (KVM), an accredited agency to provide certification to organic growers, has roped in 55 farmers from various districts to opt for organic cultivation of cotton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Since 2019, we have brought about 100 acres, against Punjab&amp;rsquo;s 3.25 lakh hectare area this kharif season, under organic cotton. Biggest challenge in organic farming is that a farmer has to keep his field free from any chemical use for three years. The government should frame a policy to grant financial incentive to such farmers for three years,&amp;rdquo; said KVM executive director Umendra Dutt.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Punjab lacks a policy to promote organic cotton cultivation even as farmers associated voluntarily with it see viability of chemical-free production of the cash crop.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Farm experts say cotton crop is considered the largest consumer of pesticides and insecticides and Punjab can reduce its chemical load with a dedicated policy on organic farming.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Since the chemical-free fields have lesser irrigation requirements, organic farming of cotton can pay dividends in the long term, they say.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;Jaitu-based Kheti Virasat Mission (KVM), an accredited agency to provide certification to organic growers, has roped in 55 farmers from various districts to opt for organic cultivation of cotton.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p style=&quot;text-align:justify&quot;&gt;&amp;ldquo;Since 2019, we have brought about 100 acres, against Punjab&amp;rsquo;s 3.25 lakh hectare area this kharif season, under organic cotton.

Punjab fails to frame policy for organic cotton cultivation -Vishal Joshi

-Hindustan Times Farm experts say cotton crop is considered the largest consumer of pesticides and insecticides and Punjab can reduce its chemical load with a dedicated policy on organic farming Punjab lacks a policy to promote organic cotton cultivation even as farmers associated voluntarily with it see viability of chemical-free production of the cash crop. Farm experts say cotton crop is considered the largest consumer of pesticides and insecticides and Punjab can reduce its chemical load with a dedicated policy on organic farming. Since the chemical-free fields have lesser irrigation requirements, organic farming of cotton can pay dividends in the long term, they say. Jaitu-based Kheti Virasat Mission (KVM), an accredited agency to provide certification to organic growers, has roped in 55 farmers from various districts to opt for organic cultivation of cotton. “Since 2019, we have brought about 100 acres, against Punjab’s 3.25 lakh hectare area this kharif season, under organic cotton. Biggest challenge in organic farming is that a farmer has to keep his field free from any chemical use for three years. The government should frame a policy to grant financial incentive to such farmers for three years,” said KVM executive director Umendra Dutt. Please click here to read more.
