description: A field study evaluated the impact of Nature Farming with microbial solutions on soil quality and crop yields over one year encompassing tropical wet and dry seasons. The use of green manures or compost as organic matter was superior to using weeds for the same purpose for improving soil quality and crop yields. The microbial inoculant  EM proved to have a greater beneficial impact than vermiwash or cattle manure slurries on soil properties and yields of the selected crops. The prospects of Nature Farming with EM are presented as a  potential method of organic farming in the tropics
