What are the Organic Fertilizers Used in
Agriculture

Introduction
Natural fertilizers derived from animals and
plants are known as organic fertilizers. Carbonic
compounds, which are necessary for plant growth,
are added to the soil as a result. Organic
fertilizers alter the physical and chemical
properties of the soil, encourage microorganism
reproduction, and raise the amount of organic
matter in the soil. It is viewed as one of the
primary supplements for green food. These
pesticides can be induced genetically in plants
through genetic engineering or can be found
naturally in microorganisms. Soil contamination
and pollution from a variety of chemicals, like
fluoroacetamide, can be avoided by using
Biopesticides. Additionally, they are less likely
to irritate animal and human skin. Nutrients are
essential to the growth and other metabolic
processes of every living thing. They eat in a
certain way in order to survive. Both animals and
humans require nutrients from plants. Autotrophic
nutrition means that plants make their own food
and get their nutrients from photosynthesis. The
soil lacks the necessary macro- and
micronutrients in sufficient quantities to
support plants. As a result, they require
additional nutrition. In agriculture, these
alternatives include manures and Organic
fertilizers.

• Advantages of Fertilizers
• The following is a list of the advantages of
  fertilizers
• 1. They are simple to apply, store, and
  transport
• 2. Due to its nutrient-specific nature, we can
  choose a specific fertilizer to supply a
  particular nutrient.
• 3. They dissolve easily in soil because they are
  water-soluble. As a result, the plants readily
  absorb them.
• 4. They quickly affect the harvests.
• 5. They are trustworthy and predictable.
• 6. They boost crop yield and supply sufficient
  food for the large population.

• Disadvantages of Fertilizers
• Manures have the accompanying impediments
• They are costly.
• The fertilizers' components are harmful to the
  skin and respiratory system.
• Excessive fertilization harms plants and lowers
  soil fertility.
• Fertilizers are leached into rivers, resulting in
  eutrophication.
• Long-term use decreases microbial activity and
  alters the soil's pH.

• Role of Fertilizers and Manures
• The water-holding capacity of sandy soil is
  enhanced by organic manures' ability to bind it.
• 2. Organic manures aid in aeration and open up
  clayey soil for better root growth.
• 3. Organic manures also contain micronutrients,
  which are necessary for plant growth, in small
  amounts.
• 4. Microbial activity is increased in manure,
  which aids in the availability of plant nutrients.

5. Because of their slow release of nutrients,
organic manures should be added before sowing or
planting. 6. Because they supply crops with a
significant quantity of an essential nutrient,
fertilizers play a significant role in crop
production 7. Fertilizers are produced in forms
that plants can easily use either immediately or
after rapid transformation. 8. Composts portion
can be acclimated to suit the not entirely set in
stone by soil Testing. 9. By mixing fertilizers
appropriately, it is possible to apply nutrients
in balanced manners that are appropriate for the
crop's needs. 10. Fertilizers that are applied
either as simple fertilizers (which supply a
single nutrient) or as complex and mixed
fertilizers (which supply two or more nutrient)
depending on the needs of the crop.

Various Benefits of Organic Fertilizers
Organic fertilizers have a number of advantages
due to the way they are made and their nature.
Organic fertilizers are now preferred by most
farmers over chemical fertilizers due to their
associated benefits. In addition to improving the
soil's condition and condition, organic
fertilizers also improve plant yield and health.

On-Farm preparation and production Producing
and preparing organic fertilizers does not
necessitate a complex industrial process. Because
it can be prepared locally, the process of
preparation and production is fairly
straightforward. Most of the time, it is made and
prepared within the company. The process of
composting, for instance, only requires a few
fundamental steps to produce compost manure.
Enhanced soil fertility and improved soil
texture, drainage and aeration Soil texture,
drainage, and aeration are all improved when
organic fertilizers are used because the soil is
constantly conditioned and rejuvenated. Organic
fertilizers take time to break down into minerals
and nutrients, and after one year, more than half
of them remain on the soil, slowly breaking down
to feed and nourish the soil. Organic
fertilizers, therefore, guarantee that the soil
will remain fertile for hundreds of years.

Non-toxic food products Non-toxic food products
The same holds true for food items and products.
As needs be, it implies that food items that are
treated with natural materials are liberated from
hurtful synthetic substances. It promotes a
healthy society, and people who eat organic food
are less likely to get skin and brain diseases,
strokes, and cancer than people who eat food that
is grown with chemical fertilizers. To put it
another way, food products that are safe to eat
are made possible by organic fertilizers.
Safe environment
Organic fertilizers meet the natural requirements
for a long-lasting and sustainable environment.
Because they break down in the body, they keep
the nutrient cycle going and help natural
biochemical processes. Most importantly, organic
fertilizers do not contain harmful chemicals that
contaminate water and land and cause pollution. A
number of animal, insect, and plant species that
are severely impacted by the use of chemical
fertilizers can also be saved from extinction by
using organic fertilizers.
