Authors: Yadav A , KUMAR A*, KUMAR S AND RAJPUT H

ABSTRACT
Natural Farming uses methods that observe the laws of nature and utilizes natural materials and products. It is based on the principle of interdependence among all living things. It aims to have a nurturing impact on the environment, in sharp contrast to the disadvantageous effects that often accompany modernized and commercialized agriculture. A chemical-free farming method with roots in Indian customs, natural farming incorporates contemporary ecological knowledge, resource recycling, and on-farm resource optimization. It is regarded as a varied farming system built on agroecology that incorporates animals, trees, and crops with useful biodiversity. It is primarily focused on biomass mulching, using on-farm cow dung-urine formulations, preserving soil aeration, and excluding any synthetic chemical inputs. It is primarily based on on-farm biomass recycling. Natural farming is expected to reduce dependency on purchased inputs Natural Farming inputs Indigenous Microorganisms (IMOs), Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ), Fermented FruitJuice (FFJ), and Earthworm are play the important role in increase the yield of the crops. The most potent and productive microorganisms for farming are those that have been a part of the soil for a considerable amount of time. In this review we can conclude that natural farming greatly increases agricultural output and eliminates the need for synthetic or chemical fertilizers, which are detrimental to the health of the humans and crops.
