| Abstract: | Application of high inputs in agriculture, in
terms of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has endangered the sustainability
of production system. Indigenous knowledge of agriculture, is the result of
farmers’ thousands years of experience with nature. Indigenous practices are
known to the farmers and are helpful in maintaining and enhancing the quality
of the environment. With the dissemination of modern practices the indigenous
practices have started to loose their ground and have been eroded to a large
extent. In the hills of the Uttaranchal, farmers still practice farming by
following indigenous practices. The study identifies indigenous agricultural
knowledge (IAK) of the farmers regarding various aspects of crop production. |
