Evaluating organic and bio fertilizers as an integrated nutrient management practice in Tomato (Solanum lycopersicum L.)

Abstract

In India, organic inputs are primarily used in agriculture. The process of increasing farmer production through the effective use of organic inputs such as vermicompost, neem cake and biofertilizers is known as integrated nutrient management. These organic fertilizers enhance the soil quality and growth parameters, as well as its properties, which makes it healthier over the long run. Due to previous decays, the majority of farmers use chemical fertilizers, which reduce soil fertility. In order to produce high-quality food and maintain healthy soil, the majority of farmers now use integrated nutrition management in conjunction with organic, inorganic, and biofertilizers. In addition to increasing agricultural output, integrated nutrient management also helps to prevent the emergence of micronutrient shortages.
