Natural farming is done in natural ways without the use of chemicals. It is totally dependent on the on-farm inputs and soil supplying capacity. It is based on nature's resilience. However, conservation agriculture is a resource saving agriculture crop production system which is based on enhancing natural and biological processes. Conservation agriculture relies on enhancing the soil productivity through minimal soil disturbance and permanent soil cover and diversified cropping systems, it enhance the yields of crop. This is also due to more effective microclimate created in the field. The judicious application of agri-inputs like seeds, fertilizers, water and other chemicals enhance the yields. However in case of natural farming, the inputs used do not have sufficient amount of resources for the crop in nutrient and moisture deficient soils of India. Thus in farmers fields, conservation agriculture perform much better than the natural farming.
