Abstract
Economic status of the people in India mostly depends upon the
agricultural production. Need for more intensive and economic agricultural
production led to indiscriminate use of high doses of chemicals fertilizers,
pesticides etc. Relentless use of these chemicals not only alter the ecosystem
but also claim death to many lives every year due to their hazardous
nature. After the green revolution, increase in food production was achieved
at the cost of soil health. About 60 per cent of our agricultural land currently
under cultivation suffers from indiscriminate use of irrigation water and
chemical fertilizers. Many agricultural chemicals like pesticides, fungicides,
herbicides, hormones and antibiotics leave residues in the foodstuffs that
cause cancer or genetic damage. Also depletion of ozone layer is the major
threat, which causes numerous unpredictable diseases, attacks to the crop,
animal and human being. Thus, a natural balance needs to be maintained for
survival and wellbeing of the human beings, plant and animal kingdom. The
obvious choice for that would be adaptation of liquid bio fertilizer phosphate
culture without compromising agricultural production.
