These high input production systems requiring massive qualities of fertilizers, pesticides, irrigation and maclunes, however, disregard the ecological integnty of land, forests and water resources, endanger the flora and fauna and cannot be sustained over generations. To a great extent, future food security and economic independence of developing countries would depend on improving the productivity of biophysical resources through the application of sustainable prodtiction methods, by improving tolerance of crops to adverse environmental conditions and by reducing crop and post-haiA'est losses caused by pest and diseases.Indigenous agricultural practices can play a keyrole in the design of sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural systems, increasing the likelihood that the rural population will accept, develop and maintain imiovations and interventions. In tliis context, that eco-friendly methods are being considered as environmentally safe, selective, biodegradable, economical and renewable alternative for u.se in organic farming system. Organic farming implies, that the use of organic nutrients and adoption of nahiral methods of plant protection in place of fertilizers and pesticides. To the maximum extent feasible organic farming system rely upon crop rotations, crop residues, animal manures, legumes, green manures, mineral baring rocks and aspects of biological pest control to maintain soil productivity and tilth to supply plant nutrients and to control insects, weed and other pests. Hence, realizing the importance of sustainable agriculture of farming systems that are environmentally sound, profitable production and maintain the social fabric of the rural community, this study was undertaken to establish and enhance rural environment and agricultural practices.Item Eco-Friendly Methods of Pest and Disease Management for Sustainable Agriculture(2010-04) Suranjana Agamacharyya; Manimozhi, KItem Ecp-Friendly Fertilizers for Sustainable Agriculture(2013) Manimozhi, KAgriculture is a major component of our Indian economy. With increased use ofpesticides, the food produce contains pesticide residues, which are injurious to health. Growing awareness about the harmful effects of chemicals has shifted many farmers towards eco-friendly farming. Hence the objectives of the study were to assess the extent of application of chemical fertilizers, evolve a training curriculum to impart education on eco-friendly fetilizers and evaluate the impact of the training programme. The study was conducted in 14 villages in the Orathanadu block offanjore District, Tamil Nadu. Four hundred and twenty households were randomly selected to analyze the existing agricultural practices. Results revealed that cent per cent of the farmers were using chemical fertilizers. After the training programme, the adoption level of eco-friendly farming had increased. To conclude, ecp-friendly agriculture ensures safe food and healthy life.Item Effect of Different Botanicals on the Keeping Quality of Selected Pulses(2014-09) Gayathri, D; Manimozhi, KItem Effect of Selected Botanicals to Prevent Losses in Stored Pulses(2014) Manimozhi, KItem Familiarizing Wood Substitutes For Effective Interiors(2012-04) Nagasudha, S; Manimozhi, KItem Gauging Indoor Air Quality By Growing Snake Plant (Sansevieria Trifasciata)(2014-03) Mercy, R L; Manimozhi, KItem Income and Expenditure Pattern of selected Families in Coimbatore City(1987-05) Manimozhi, K; Venmathi, AItem Inculcating Human Values Among School Children(2016-04) Angela Joice, A; Manimozhi, KItem Introducing and Evaluating Scientific Storage Practices for Food Grains among Selected Rural Households in Coimbatore District(1998-01) Manimozhi, K; Lakshmi Santa Rajagopal, M SItem Introducing and Evaluating Terrace Garden for Organic Cultivation of Greens(2012) Manimozhi, KThe research entitled “Introducing and Evaluating Terrace Garden for Organic Cultivation o f Greens” was undertaken with the main objective of increasing the use of organic foods and minimizing cost of procuring greens through imparting training to homemakers. To conduct the research, Madukkarai town in Coimbatore city was selected. To impart knowledge on organic cultivation of greens a training curriculum was formulated. Training was' given for a period of three days, two days for theoretical explanation and one day for demonstration. The impact of the training programme was evaluated in terms of knowledge gained, attitudes developed by the homemakers and amount saved by the selected households. The end results revealed that, before training programme 80 per cent of the households spent Rs. 200 arid above for getting greens. After, the training programme the homemakers expressed that, since they are cultivating the greens in their terrace, maximum amount spent for producing greens is only Rs.51 -100 per week. The result shows tlie fruitful result of reducing the cost of Rs. 100 per week by the selected households. The homemakers emphasized that it is safety and more satisfied for eating what they are produced. Ninety three per cent of the homemakers expressed that it is easily available to use. Eighty five per cent of the homemakers stressed it helps to prevent pollution.Item Organic Farming for Sustainable Agriculture(2012) Manimozhi, KItem Role of Neem to Control Insects and Pests in Stored Food Grains(2012) Manimozhi, KItem Storage Practices of Pulses in Selected Households(2013) Manimozhi, Klse ^ ^ iIh a k ^ ^ ^ ^ ^ L M ^ ^ ro te i^ n ^ sse n tta im M e ^ a t^ u Ise s'p Ii^ sustaining soil productivllymnaccount-af-biologtcalnitrogen^fixatwn and additionofhuge amount of organic . matter. The crisis of guises isgradually firing up its grip due to growth of population and introduction of protein based food industries. The total food grain loss accounts to 9.33 per pent on total food grains production. About 10 per-cePttff this stored food grain is lost every year due to attack by insectSi rodents, moisture, birds, micro-organismsitc. UencSr conducting^research in the field of grain storage'especially in the sphere of,pulses storage is the need of the hour.
