Abstract
A study was conducted to evaluate the impact of organic and conventional production system on fodder cowpea growth and soil health. This study was conducted in a farmers field of Erode, Tamil Nadu in a randomized block design with three replications. For the study, six farmers' fields involving organic (ORG) practices and one conventional (CON) production system were selected. Soil and plant samples were collected at the time of harvest and analyzed for growth, and soil health parameters. The results revealed that significant differences were found in the growth parameters of fodder cowpea among the organic and conventional production system. The analyzed chemical properties ., soil reaction, electrical conductivity viz(EC), macro nutrients, and biological indicators ., soil organic carbon (SOC), organic matter (SOM), vizmicrobial biomass carbon (MBC), culturable microbes, and yield were found to be higher in organically managed soils than the conventional farming method

The Society has been established with the following objectives:
1. To advance the cause of research activity in all aspects of rangelands and to encourage and promote the studies on rangeland, wasteland ecosystems and agroforestry.
2. To provide facilities for seminars and conferences to rangeland researchers, development workers and farmers and to encourage close cooperation with organizations having related aims and interests.
3. To disseminate the knowledge of scientific agriculture and technology for forage and rangeland production, improvement and management.
