Potential of Biofertilizers in Crop Production in Indian Agriculture

Saurabh Singh, Bijendra Kumar Singh, S.M. Yadav and A.K. Gupta
The green revolution brought impressive gains in food production but with insufficient concern for sustainability. In India, the availability and affordability of fossil fuel based chemical fertilizers at the farm level have been ensured only through imports and subsidies. The government of India has been trying to promote an improved practice involving use of bio-fertilizers along with fertilizers. These inputs have multiple beneficial impacts on the soil and can be relatively cheap and convenient for use. Use of eco-friendly, bio-pesticides, bio-fertilizer and bio-controls is being encouraged in the field of agriculture. Bio-pesticides like neem and Bacillus-based pesticides such as Aureofungin, Kasugamycin, Validamycin, Streptomycin and Sulphate and Tetracycline Hydrochloride have been identified for controlling various insect pests and diseases in agriculture. Some parasites, predators, phyto-phagus insects and insect/disease pathogens have also been identified as major bio-control agents for the control of insect pests and diseases of various crops. Biological based product are most advanced biotechnology necessary to support developing organic agriculture sustainable agriculture, green agriculture and non-pollution agriculture.
