Fertilizers directly increase soil fertility by adding nutrients. Biofertilizers add nutrients through the natural processes of fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilizing Phosphorus, and stimulating plant growth through the synthesis of growth promoting substances. Biofertilizers can be grouped in different ways based on their nature and function. S. No. Groups Examples Nitrogen (N2)  fixing Biofertilizers 1   Free-living   Azotobacter, Clostridium,  Anabaena, Nostoc, 2   Symbiotic   Rhizobium, Frankia, Anabaena azollae 3  ...

केंचुओं से कचरे का पुर्नचक्रण कैसे करें Chemical fertilisers have played a significant role in Indian agriculture. However, concentrated and continuous use of easily soluble chemical fertilisers disturbs soil health, leading to acidification, micro nutrient depletion, soil degradation, reduction in the activity of soil micro flora and micro- fauna, poor crop health and lower crop yields and quality.  In view of this, it is desirable that we may have to return to less resource demanding agricultural practices viewing the gaps in domestic production as also nutrient depletion estimates. In this direction, vermicomposting offers immense scope to small and marginal farmers in creating their own organic manurial resources and ways to generate...

Continuous use of chemical fertilizers over the years without caring for maintaining the soil balance has become counterproductive. Scientists are getting concerned about the situation and suggesting to use bio-fertilizers and other organic manures in adequate quantities in order to maintain the soil balance. Farmers are now convinced about the important of organic manures but availability of the good quality organic manures is the problem. The vermi-compost production would be a viable option to produce the good quality compost in short time.  A growing number of individuals and institutions are taking interest in the production of compost utilizing earthworm activity. Krishi Vigyan Kendra-Jammu is giving free training for this technology to the...
