Abstract
Fertilizer use efficiency (FUE) has been the focus of agriculture cultivation practices to meet economic and environmental challenges. Unfortunately, available technology for improving FUE is somewhat impotent as no significant breakthrough in fertilizer technology during the last several decades. However, by harnessing the most active components of chemical, organic, and biological sources to produce a multigroup fertilizer so-called bio-organo-chemical fertilizer, it is possible to develop a new technology employing new paradigm in fertilization, i.e. improving soil capacity. Integration of microbes as consortium packages with the recent coating technology would be a promising approach to support sustainable agriculture. Intended targets are to reduce the volume of fertilizer application and consequently to lower cost and give more profits to the farmers. The microbial coating on chemical fertilizer technique has been invented by using epigenetic approach. If this technique can be employed in addition to currently available bio-encapsulation or carrier-based techniques, then the eminent consortium of microbes in chemical fertilizer formulation will become more efficient in the future. This paper reviews new technology development of a prospective bio-organo-chemical fertilizer to enhance FUE.
