The publication of original research pokers in this journal will provide opportunities to research workers to accelerate their work in this specialized on eco-friendly approaches.

Considering the above, there is a need of a different kind of agriculture and a different kind of technology to achieve our goal for effective green revolution. We have to phase out the unnecessary consumption of poisonous chemicals and chemical fertilizers, and actively consider our strategies on organic farming system.
