ITK BASED ORGANIC FORMULATIONS IN CROP PRODUCTION: A REVIEWMohan Krishna Devapatni, Jassasvi Prashar, Mandeep Singh, Sandeep Menon and Gurpreet SinghAbstract Indigenous Technical Knowledge (ITK) has been crucial in agriculture for many generations as farmers have gained this knowledge through their experiences and observations. Recently, there has been an increasing interest in using ITK-based organic formulations for crop production, which are made from locally available organic materials and have proven to be effective in promoting plant growth and controlling pests and diseases. This paper seeks to provide a comprehensive overview of the current understanding of ITK-based organic formulations in crop production, including various types, compositions, and applications. It also examines the benefits and challenges of using ITK-based organic formulations while providing suggestions for further research in this area. |
