The conversion from one crop to organic farming is a process that can sometimes be tricky. The objective is clear, get an organic product that has better market acceptance. But usually part of a crop based on crop and where the approach has been to eliminate everything that we think might be detrimental to the crop from the outside and bring everything you need our plant, ie herbicides, insecticides, chemical fertilizers, fungicides. All this affects the biodiversity of the environment by reducing, by doing this while agriculture a real impact on the environment. The aim of organic farming is that the production system is integrated as much as possible in the environment and the impact on the environment is minimal, is the best way

not to endanger the natural resources for future generations. For these reasons, the basis of our work as technicians or farmers should be encourage biodiversity in our cropping system. In this way the ecological balance may offset the potential problems that may present to us that these are less important. But how can we get our culture to become a system where the level of biological richness is advisable? . Developing a Technical Plan for Conversion, which translate the cultivation techniques that improve our land and our culture. With regard to soil, a vital input of organic matter continued, depending on the conditions on which and the soil analysis. It is desirable to make the final and at the beginning and every campaign. The input of organic matter will help us to improve the lives of our soil and encourage the development of our plants to be more balanced. As the crop is essential to make a technical analysis of the environment that surrounds us, to restore vegetation on the edge of our property as we can provide a reservoir of beneficial insects in the winter or when there is no crop. We complement this activity with the cultivation of plants for insect repellents or attractants, which may be annual or perennial. We must know the cycle of major pests, diseases and weeds in our culture to develop techniques that enable its control. Ultimately, the plan of conversion may not be a formality rather than the certifying body requires us to register our property, but must be a thorough and technical work prior to the beginning of the crop which contains measures to be continue to enhance the biological wealth of the estate, and the basis for the work of the technician and farmer in the development of the crop. In any other manner would be more difficult to achieve continued success in organic production.
