What are Organic fertilizers, Chemical fertilizers, and Bio-Fertilizers?

There is mounting demand in agriculture, same demand reflects in the fertilizer market also, similarly, growth of agriculture in India paved the way to excessive use of fertilizers in all crops, so as a consequence, fertilizer business has a good scope in the Indian market to start it anywhere in India and this is a good start-up for anyone to establish a profitable business.

 A fertilizer is any substance of natural or synthetic origin that is applied to soils or to plant tissues (leaves) to supply one or more plant nutrients required for the growth of plants.

Organic fertilizers

Organic fertilizers are fertilizers derived from animal substances, human excreta, or vegetable substances. (E.g. compost, manure). Obviously occurring organic fertilizers consist of animal wastes from meat processing, peat, manure, slurry, and guano.

Indifference, the popular fertilizers used in commercial farming are extracted from minerals (e.g., phosphate rock) or produced industrially (e.g., ammonia).

Chemical fertilizer

A chemical fertilizer is a material applied to soils or directly onto plants to supply nutrients optimal for their growth and development.

The necessary nutrients contained in these fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium, as well as other nutritional substances in smaller amounts-all existing in a form that can easily be absorbed and metabolized by plants.

Chemical fertilizers have become a staple in many yards and gardens and can be a key element of healthy grass care regularly.

Biofertilizers

A Biofertilizer is a material that contains living microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonizes the rhizosphere or the inner of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the delivery or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.

The microorganisms in bio-fertilizers restore the soil's normal nutrient cycle and construct soil organic substances.

Through the exploit of bio-fertilizers, well plants can be grown while enhancing the sustainability and the strength of the soil.

They are particularly beneficial in enriching soil fertility and fulfilling plant nutrient requirements by supplying the organic nutrients through microorganism and their byproducts.

Blue-green algae belong to a general cyanobacteria genus, Nostoc or Anabaena or Tolypothrix or Aulosira, fix atmospheric nitrogen, and are used as inoculations for paddy crop grown both under high ground and low-land circumstances.

Due to the hold of phosphate by mineral ions such as Fe, Al, and Ca or organic acids, the rate of available phosphate in the soil is fine below plant requirements.

the decrease in Pi resources, on one hand, and environmental pollution's ensuing from both production and applications of chemical Pi fertilizer, on the other hand, have already demanded the use of a new generation of phosphate fertilizers globally identified as phosphate-solubizing bacteria or phosphate bio-fertilizers.

Other importance of  fertilizers

Fertilizers normally supply, in varying proportions: three main macronutrients: Nitrogen: leaf growth; Phosphorus: progress of roots, flowers, seeds, fruit; Potassium: Strong stem growth, movement of water in plants, support of flowering and fruiting; three secondary macronutrients: calcium, magnesium, and sulfur; micro nutrients: copper, iron, manganese, molybdenum, zinc, boron, and of occasional significance there are silicon, cobalt, and vanadium plus rare mineral catalysts.

The nutrients essential for healthy plant life are classified according to the elements, but the elements are not used as fertilizers.

The macro nutrients are consumed in larger quantities and are present in plant tissue in quantities from 0.15% to 6.0% on a dry matter basis.

Plants are made up of four key elements: hydrogen, oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen.

Nitrogen is the most essential fertilizer because nitrogen is present in proteins, DNA, and other components.

Only some bacteria and their host plants can put the right atmospheric nitrogen by converting it to ammonia.

Inorganic are occasionally called synthetic fertilizers since various chemical treatments are required for their manufacture.

Binary fertilizers Major two-component fertilizers supply both nitrogen and phosphorus to the plants.

The main NP fertilizers are mono ammonium phosphate and diammonium phosphate.

NPK fertilizers three-component fertilizers providing nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium.

NPK score is a rating system telling the amount of nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium in a fertilizer.

Fertilizers are normally used for growing all crops, with application rates depending on the soil fertility, usually as calculated by a soil test and according to the particular crop.

Legumes, for example, fix nitrogen from the atmosphere and generally do not require nitrogen fertilizer.

Fertilizers are applied to crops both as solids and as a liquid.

Slow- and controlled-release involve only 0.15% of the fertilizer market.

Polymer coating of fertilizer ingredients gives tablets and spikes a 'true time-release' or 'staged nutrient release' of fertilizer nutrients.

The method is almost consistently used to apply water-soluble straight nitrogen fertilizers and used especially for high-value crops such as fruits.

Fertilizer burn can occur when too much fertilizer is applied, resulting in drying out of the leaves and damage or even death of the plant.
