BIO Fertilizers vs Chemical Fertilizers: Choose the Eco-Friendly Future!

Do you want an organic solution for your crops or your garden? Then, BioFertilizers or chemical fertilizers is never such a question!

Benefits of using BIO Fertilizers

It is eco-friendly in its origin derived from the source of bacteria, fungi, algae, which ensures sustainability in the long term.

Improves soil health through essential nutrient inputs that would enable natural growth rather than destroying the microorganisms present in it.

Improves Soil Health: The biggest advantage of biofertilizers is that they improve soil health. While chemical fertilizers provide an instant dose of nutrients but will typically kill the microbes that are a pre-requisite to healthy soil, biofertilisers feed the soil with the required nutrients without poisoning its microbiome.

Water Conservation: BioFertilizers also activate the health of the soil even more, thus enabling it to save water. This reduces repeated watering in quantity and thus becomes less water-hungry intervention as far as desertification is concerned.

Environment Friendly: BioFertilizers are environment-friendly and green in nature and hold microbes that provide healthy soil management in the long run. They do not rot the environment and thus are the ideal option for individuals who aspire to go green and adopt green farming practices. They are a chemical-free product which maintains soil biodiversity and allows nature to follow its natural form.

Economically Beneficial in the Long Term: While BioFertilizers are a cost to be borne at first, they prove to be beneficial in the long term economically. Being not detrimental to the soil as well as being non-disadvantageous to chemical fertilizers, the producers would be in a position to enjoy a better regime of culture with greater productivity and sustainability, while cost of production would also reduce in the long term.

Why BIO Fertilizers?

Healthier Crop: BioFertilizers assure higher vigorous and nutritionally charged chemical-free crop yield.

Sustainable: Ecofriendly cropping with a higher level of productivity.

Long-Term Cost-Effective: Prevent soil degradation, avoid increasing dependence on chemical fertilizers so that production cost at the farmer's end could also be decreased.

Make tomorrow greener and healthier through BIO fertilizers today.

रासायनिक उर्वरक का असर | खेती में रासायनिक खाद के बढ़ते इस्तेमाल से बढ़ता खतरा

प्रिय पाठकों, बलवान कृषि के ब्लॉग सेक्शन में आपका स्वा��त है।

रासायनिक उर्वरक (Chemical Fertilizers) के प्रभाव से खेती की ज़मीने धीरे धीरे बंज़र होती जा रही हैं। खेत की मिट्टी के साथ साथ रासायनिक खाद के माध्यम से उगने वाला अनाज भी मानव जाती के स्वास्थ्य पर बहुत बुरा असर डाल रहा है। कई दशक पहले जब देश खाद्य की कमी को पूरा करने के लिए हरित क्रांति के रूप में लाया गया एक तात्कालिक समाधान जो की खेती में रासायनिक उर्वरक का उपयोग था, आज किसान और नयी पीढ़ी के लिए श्राप बन चुका है।

मिट्टी के बंज़र होने से किसान लगातार आत्म हत्या कर रहा है। National Crime Records Bureau (NCRB) की रिपोर्ट के अनुसार भारत में हर घंटे एक किसान/खेतिहर मजदूर आत्महत्या करता है। आज के ब्लॉग में हम विस्तार से जानेंगे रासायनिक उर्वरक क्या है और इन उर्वरकों के दुष्प्रभाव के बारे में।

The future of seaweed in agriculture As agriculture trends shift toward sustainability, Kelp Blue believes seaweed biostimulants will become a standard in farming practices.

"At Kelp Blue, we cultivate Giant Kelp (Macrocystis pyrifera) to help growers reduce their carbon footprint while improving soil health and crop productivity,"

"Our seaweed-based biostimulant, StimBlue+, is a liquid seaweed extract that enhances plant resilience, improves nutrient uptake, and lowers the need for synthetic fertilizers – one of the biggest contributors to agricultural emissions."

Something’s Poisoning America’s Land. Farmers Fear ‘Forever’ Chemicals. (New York Times)

Excerpt from this New York Times story:

For decades, farmers across America have been encouraged by the federal government to spread municipal sewage on millions of acres of farmland as fertilizer. It was rich in nutrients, and it helped keep the sludge out of landfills.

But a growing body of research shows that this black sludge, made from the sewage that flows from homes and factories, can contain heavy concentrations of chemicals thought to increase the risk of certain types of cancer and to cause birth defects and developmental delays in children.

Known as “forever chemicals” because of their longevity, these toxic contaminants are now being detected, sometimes at high levels, on farmland across the country, including in Texas, Maine, Michigan, New York and Tennessee. In some cases the chemicals are suspected of sickening or killing livestock and are turning up in produce. Farmers are beginning to fear for their own health.

The national scale of farmland contamination by these chemicals — which are used in everything from microwave popcorn bags and firefighting gear to nonstick pans and stain-resistant carpets — is only now starting to become apparent. There are now lawsuits against providers of the fertilizer, as well as against the Environmental Protection Agency, alleging that the agency failed to regulate the chemicals, known as PFAS.

In Michigan, among the first states to investigate the chemicals in sludge fertilizer, officials shut down one farm where tests found particularly high concentrations in the soil and in cattle that grazed on the land. This year, the state prohibited the property from ever again being used for agriculture. Michigan hasn’t conducted widespread testing at other farms, partly out of concern for the economic effects on its agriculture industry.

In 2022, Maine banned the use of sewage sludge on agricultural fields. It was the first state to do so and is the only state to systematically test farms for the chemicals. Investigators have found contamination on at least 68 of the more than 100 farms checked so far, with some 1,000 sites still to be tested.

In Texas, several ranchers blamed the chemicals for the deaths of cattle, horses and catfish on their properties after sewage sludge was used as fertilizer on neighboring farmland. Levels of one PFAS chemical in surface water exceeded 1,300 parts per trillion, they say in a lawsuit filed this year against Synagro, the company that supplied the fertilizer. While not directly comparable, the E.P.A.’s drinking-water standard for two PFAS chemicals is 4 parts per trillion.
