7. Introduction
One of the major concerns in today's
world is the pollution and contamination of
soil. The use of chemical fertilizers and
pesticides has caused tremendous harm
to the environment. An answer to this is
the biofertilizer, an environment friendly
fertilizer now used in most countries.
Biofertilizers are organisms that enrich the
nutrient quality of soil. The main sources
of biofertilizers are bacteria, fungi, and
cynaobacteria (blue-green algae).

8. Objectives of Organic Farming
 Production of quality, safe food
 Resource use sustainability
 Environmental protection
 Animal health welfare
 Social justice and wellbeing of rural
communities
 Public health and food security
 Financial viability of farming

9. Bio-Fertilizer
Biofertilizer is a living fertilizer compound
of microbial inoculants or groups of micro-
organisms which are able to fix
atmospheric nitrogen or solubilize
phosphorus, decompose organic material
or oxidize sulphur in the soil. On
application, it enhances the growth of
plants, increase in yield and also improve
soil fertility and reduces pollution.
The soil microorganisms used in biofertilizers are: Phosphate Solubilizing
microbes, Mycorrhizae, Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Rhizobium, Blue Green Algae.

14. Why Bio-Fertillizer?
The relevance of bio-fertilizers is increasing
rapidly since chemical fertilizers:
• Utilize petroleum (nitrogenous
fertilizers),
• Are costly,
• Are short in supply, and
• Damage the environment, e.g., about
10% of the ground water samples in
Punjab contained more NO3- than the
maximum permissible limit prescribed
by World Health Organization

15. Application of Bio-fertilizers
 Seed treatment or
seed inoculation
 Seedling root dip
 Main field
application

16. Advantages of Bio-fertilizers
 Increase crop yield by25%
 Replace chemical nitrogen and
phosphorus by 50%
 Stimulate plant growth.
 Activate the soil biologically.
 Restore natural soil fertility.
 Provide protection against
drought and some soil borne
diseases

17. Limitations of carrier based Bio-fertilizers
 Shorter self life(6 month).
 Sensitivity to temperature.
 More chance of
contamination.
 Lack of instant visual
effects on application.
 Seasonal demand and
production of biofertilizers

(IS:14807:2000)

22. Marketing Aspects of Biofertilizers
To attain production targets, the Government of India
implemented a central sector scheme called
National Project on Development and use of
Biofertilizers (NPDB) during the 9th Plan for the
production, distribution and promotion of
biofertilizers.
The government also plays a dominant part in
marketing biofertilizers in three possible channels:
(a) State government via District level Officers and
Village level workers to farmers,
(b) State Marketing federation via cooperative bodies
to farmers and
(c) State Agro-industries Corporations via Agro
service Center to farmers.

23. National Project on Organic
Farming to promote organic farming practices, a National
With the view
Project on Organic Farming was launched during 10th Plan with an
outlay of Rs.115.00 crores.
The main objective of the scheme includes:
• Capacity Building through Service Providers.
• Financial and Technical support for setting up of organic input
production unit such as Fruits and Vegetable market waste
compost, Biofertilizers and biopesticides and Vermiculture
hatcheries.
• Human resource development through training and demonstration.
• Awareness creation and market development.
• Quality Control of Organic Inputs.

24. Bio-fertilizer Subsidy
Ministry of Agriculture, Department of Agriculture and
Cooperation, Government of India is implementing a central
sector scheme viz., "National Project on Development and use
of Bio-fertilisers".
Under this project, a subsidy up to Rs.20 lakhs is provided for
setting up a biofertiliser production unit of 150 TPA capacity.
This subsidy is released through back ended subsidy procedure.
If the units are getting the subsidy, the amount will be adjusted
to the last few instalments of bank loan.

25. Installed Capacity
There are around 169 bio-fertilizer production units in the
country with installed capacity of 67000 MT. and annual
production of more than 20 thousand ton of bio-fertilizers.

28. Estimated Total Potential Demand (India)
• Due to Govt. efforts and scheme, the area under certified organic farming
has increased 20 fold from 42000 ha (2003-04) to 865,000 ha (2007-08).
• The organic food production has increased from 4.09 lakh ton in 2006-07
to 9.02 lakh ton during 2007-08.
