Abstract
Organic farming is the adoption of non-chemical methods of nutrition, pest and disease control and encourages use of on-farm inputs. Pigeonpea is the most widely used leguminous crop for making dal in our daily diet. Though all are talking about organic farming across crops; but, development of best management practices is at infancy stage. Hence, this research based scientific report gives an overview of practices to be adopted, available opportunities and problems involved in organic pigeonpea production.
