Opis

In current agriculture practices, chemical fertilizers have reduced the fertility of soil, making it unsuited for raising crop plants. Additionally, the excessive use of these inputs has also led to severe health and environmental hazards such as soil erosion, water contamination, pesticide poisoning, falling ground water table, water logging and depletion of biodiversity. Biofertilizers spontaneously activates the microorganisms found in the soil in an effective and eco-friendly way, thereby gaining more importance for utilization in crop production, restoring the soils fertility and protecting it against drought, soil diseases and thus stimulate plant growth. Biofertilizers lead to soil enrichment and are suitable with long-term sustainability. Further, they pose no danger to the environment and can be substituted with chemical fertilizers. The application of bio-fertilizers can minimize the use of chemical fertilizers, decreasing environmental hazards, enhance soil structure and promote agriculture.
