“…It must be released in absorbable inorganic forms (N-NH 4 + and N-NO 3 -) (de Moraes and Urquiaga, 2011). It has also been found that agrotechnics also affects the availability of nitrogen for plants (Chausali and Saxena, 2021). The rate of nitrogen mineralization is greater in conventional crops than in organic systems.…”

A b s t r a c t. Organic farming is system with a growing interest worldwide. The objective of this paper was an assessment of the after-effects of perennial cultivation of spring barley, oats, and red clover in both conventional and organic systems on the chemical properties, enzymatic activity, and potential biochemical soil fertility index of the soil. The study analyzed the activity of acid phosphatase, alkaline phosphatase, urease and dehydrogenases as well as the potential biochemical soil fertility index of soil and the chemical parameters of soil. Soil material was collected from spring wheat grown after spring barley, oats and red clover, occurring in conventional or organic systems in 2009-2019. It has been shown that, compared to a conventional system, the perennial cultivation of red clover and cereals in the organic farming system has contributed to a significant improvement in the chemical (pH KCl by an average of 8%, total organic carbon -18%, total nitrogen -15%, N-NH 4 + -34%) and enzymatic (acid phosphatase -29%, alkaline phosphatase -67%, urease -28% and dehydrogenases -25%) soil quality indicators. The potential biochemical soil fertility index values were also significantly higher in soils in the organic farming system (by an average of 39%).K e y w o r d s: enzymes activity, cultivation system, red clover, oats, spring barley

“…Organic food is food that is made without synthetic pesticides, herbicides, chemical fertilizers, growth hormones, antibiotics or gene manipulation (Chausali & Saxena, 2021;Urbul et al, 2021). Organic food combines best environmental practices, high levels of biodiversity, preservation of natural resources, and application of strict animal welfare standards, resulting in higher quality food to meet consumer demands (Research Data and Solutions for the Development of Organic Production in Finland, 2024;Kushwah et al, 2019).…”

This research tries to analyse the motives of consumers in Kediri, East Java, Indonesia in buying organic food. The four main motives that influence organic food consumption behaviour are sustainability, social class symbol, luxury and price investigated in this study. Questionnaires were used and given to 190 respondents. Data were analysed using Structural Equation Modelling and tested four hypotheses. The findings state that sustainability, social class symbols, and price significantly influence organic food consumption behaviour. There is no significant effect of luxury on organic food consumption behaviour. Based on these findings, strategies to improve quality, long-term health benefits, be environmentally friendly, and reduce the price of organic food should be implemented. This research draws on social practice theory as a critical lens for understanding organic food consumption not just as a result of individual choices, but as several interrelated 'relationships of action and speech'. This study investigates the consumption of organic food in East Java, Indonesia. Three consumption practices, which include investing in long-term welfare, expressing sustainability values, and signifying social status, so it can be concluded that organic food can be understood as a certain type of food as a trend food

“…It was a success in many developing countries (Andersen & Hazell, 1985;Pingali, 2012). This farming practice is known as the conventional farming method, where farmers focus on the high yield production while neglecting the possible health and environmental hazards (Chausali & Saxena, 2021).…”

“…The increasing environmental awareness has led to the sustainable farming practice which better known as organic farming. This focus on sustainable crop production through conserving a healthy agroecosystem (Chausali & Saxena, 2021). Organic farming has been proven to be more sustainable compared to conventional farming, as it better preserves biodiversity and fertile soil (Ghabbour et.…”

Organic farming practices and biological control (biocontrol) are relatively less adopted in agriculture compared to conventional agricultural practices globally. In recent years, it is becoming more common, but in Malaysia it is still disfavored. Generally, in Malaysia, not many farmers are practicing organic farming and adopting biocontrol. This study aims to determine the level of knowledge and acceptance of vegetable farmers about organic farming practices and biocontrol in the Kampar district. Fifty farmers were selected using non-probability sampling, whereas face-to-face and telephone interviews were conducted to collect data with the aid of a questionnaire. The respondents had a good level of knowledge (mean score of 4.00) and a neutral perception on the economic benefits of organic farming (mean score of 2.65). They have a moderate level of knowledge on biocontrol (mean score of 3.24). The respondents’ acceptance level for organic farming practices (mean score of 2.65) and biocontrol (mean score of 3.13) were neutral, mainly due to the low local demand for organic vegetables and the low confidence in the effectiveness of biocontrol. The respondents possess moderate knowledge of organic farming and biocontrol but conventional farming was still preferred. The acceptance level for these practices remained neutral. Participatory program such as farmer field school can be introduced to increase the adoption of these practices.
