Major Characteristics of Eco-agriculture The major characteristics of eco-agriculture can be summarized from the experiences with eco-agricultural experiments and extension all over China(Zhang,1993)
Major Characteristics of Eco-agriculture • The major characteristics of eco-agriculture can be summarized from the experiences with eco-agricultural experiments and extension all over China (Zhang, 1993)
(1)Coordination of structure. The whole ecosystem and all its components are rationally relocated.The composition of all ecological factors is made desirable by readjusting the structure
(l) Coordination of structure. The whole ecosystem and all its components are rationally relocated. The composition of all ecological factors is made desirable by readjusting the structure
(2)Role of science and technology Agricultural development is boosted through a principles in order to enhance yields combination of the experiences in traditional Chinese agriculture with the latest technologies. The experiences include intensive farming, intercropping,interplanting,crop rotation, balanced use and protection of farmland,etc, while the latest technologies,model cultivation, film-covered cultivation,application of prescribed fertilizers,improved new crop varieties and animal breeds,integrated pest management,etc

(3)Rational use of resources All land resources are put to good use and monoculture is avoided.The recycling of wastes are realized through food chains of the eco-agricultural system.Wastes from one component of the system is used as an input to another component
(3) Rational use of resources • All land resources are put to good use and monoculture is avoided. The recycling of wastes are realized through food chains of the eco-agricultural system. Wastes from one component of the system is used as an input to another component
(4)Appropriate input Appropriate energy and matter is inputted to the system for the balance of high productivity,high quality and high profit.Importance is attached to ecological and biological measures in order to minimize wastes
