Abstract
Crop failure has been more common in India in recent years as a result of rising input costs and monsoon impulses. Pulses are mostly grown in rainfed ecosystems where there is little to no usage of inorganic inputs, therefore using organic farming techniques could be a good way to increase the ecosystem's sustainability. By effectively activating the soil microorganisms, preserve production of organic systems and enhance the soil condition. They are also helpful in lowering the occurrence of major and micronutrient deficiencies and are able to stabilise the yield of crop over time. Application of necessary amounts of organic inputs for various reasons at regular intervals results in increased yield, satisfies the crops' nutrient needs and maintains the soil fertility.
