Sustainable and developmental systems in primary organic plant production

Abstract

Surfaces under organic production are constantly increasing, in Serbia as well as in Europe and the World. Organic agriculture uses sustainable systems of production to prevent environmental pollution, enhance biodiversity and efficiently manage natural resources. The implementation of specific cultivation methods such as applying plant extracts and microbiological preparations leads to plant nutrients being secured faster and more efficiently. In field experiments, greater microbiological soil activity was recorded in the organic cultivation system. The increase of the abundance of microorganisms increases biochemical and enzymic activity, which influences the incensement of soil fertility and biodiversity. A certificate for organic products is an important milestone on the path of realizing sustainable agriculture which is based on environmental protection paired with obtaining healthy products. The development of consumer awareness and the values of organically produced food will lead to the further incensement of organic plant production surfaces.
