Biofertilizer: A Pathway Towards Eco-green Environment

Abstract

Abstract The biofertilizers are utilized to enhance the fertility of the land utilizing biological wastes, thus the term biofertilizers, and biological wastes do not contain any chemicals which are obstructing to the living soil. Bio-manures are one of the best cutting edge modern tools for agriculture. It is an ability of our current agricultural science. Biofertilizers are connected in the rural field as an extra to our conventional fertilizers. Conventional fertilizers contain compost; domestic wastes and green manure. Those are not as active as chemical fertilizers. So, farmers often try to use chemical fertilizers in the field for crop growth. But actually, the chemical fertilizers are not eco-friendly. They are responsible for water, air and soil pollution. Furthermore, they may abolish the fertility of the soil in a long run. Researchers have developed Bio-fertilizers to check pollution and to make the environment hale and hearty for everyone in a natural way. Bio-fertilizer contains microorganisms which upsurges the enough quantity of nutrients to the host plants and defend their proper development of growth and regulation in their physiology. Alive microorganisms are used in the preparation of bio fertilizers. Only those microorganisms are important for specific functions to enrich plant growth and reproduction. There are various types of microorganisms which are useful for the bio-fertilizers. Bio-fertilizer being essential components of organic agriculture play crucial role in sustaining long term soil fertility and sustainability.
