Manures, Fertilizer, Nano-biofertilizer, Soil healthAbstract
Environmental friendly techniques for elevating soil health includes the use of various organic amendments such as in the form of organic manures, green manures, organic matter in form of leftover straws, bio-fertilizers, composts, and many more. Traditionally the farmers usually preferred to make use of organic manures as they received a by-product from cattle farming. This helped them to maintain soil health sufficiently. However, now with the increase in population and decrease in crop yield, it has been the time to make some efforts to produce as much as sufficient as the food demand. Therefore, the conventional trend developed towards the use of artificial amendments in the form of chemical fertilizers. This improved the crop yield and proved effective to nourish demand. However, this also turned a curse with time by lowering bio geological cycles of soil and so lowering the fertility which indeed made overuse of chemical fertilizers. This has been continued for decades. Momentarily focusing more on crop productivity by supplying nutrients without harming the rhizosphere has been made possible with the help of nano fertilizers. Nanotechnology is the most advanced technology in current research trends. The current review focuses on how effective these methodologies are.
