| Abstract/Description: | The area available for cultivation in these islands is limited therefore efficient use of land and remediation of degraded areas through organic farming practices are viable alternate strategy to increase the crop production and enhance the livelihood support. The locally available organic materials can be effectively recycled to meet crop nutrient requirements. There is a huge potential for organic farming especially cultivation of Spices,coconut, tropical fruits and high value vegetables. Organic waste recycling and other nutrient management strategy can meet 100 % , 60 % and 30 % of N, P and K requirements, respectively. In organic cultivation of selected crops in the islands with best management practices the yield of potential crops can be increased by 10 - 30 % and the average net profit by 15 - 22 % higher than the conventional farming |
