Promoting biofertilizers has become a major concern these days due to environmental and health concerns. Organic fertilizer is usually made from plant or animal waste, manure or compost. They can also be compost or manure based products. Due to the organic substances contained in organic fertilizer, the soil structure is improved, increasing the soil's ability to retain water and nutrients. Increasing consumer preference for organic food, improvement in soil fertility and government promotion of organic fertilizer have boosted the market growth of organic fertilizer in the district.
