“…The adequate translocation of iron and magnesium as well as the increased activity of the enzymes involved in chlorophyll biosynthesis may also be contributing factors to the increase in chlorophyll concentration in Group 4 [22,23]. Mishra et al [24] found that the chlorophyll content of okra exhibited the favorable effects of chemical fertilizer when mixed with organic manures (neem oil cake, poultry manure, vermicompost, FYM, biofertilizer, and sea weed extract). The integrated nutrient management approach of combining chemical fertilizer with vermicompost and farmyard manure has improved the vegetative, reproductive, and yield aspects of okra, according to identical ndings published by Ruby et al [25].…”

Agronomic practices using organic manure to restore soil fertility and increase crop yield are the need of the hour. Recycling organic wastes into biofertilizers is a nutrient recovery strategy in waste management. Banana waste (peels and pulp) was converted into biofertilizer using cow’s urine and cow dung. The inclusion of organic biofertilizer along with chemical fertilizer forms the Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) concept, which aids in the increment of crop yield and the quality of soil properties. Taking the aforementioned information into consideration, a pot research was carried out to evaluate the impact of the nutrient management system on the growth ofAbelmoschus esculentus(Ladies finger), a vegetable of economic importance and the NPK status of the soil. Four treatments were included in the experimental design: Group 1- water control; Group 2 - Recommended dose of Chemical Fertilizer (RDCF) -NPK (120–60–80 kg ha–1); Group 3 − 1:100 diluted Fermented Biofertilizer made from Banana Fruit Waste (FB-BW); and Group 4–50% (RDCF + FB-BW) integrated nutrient management (INM). Among the different treatments, the ladies finger plant height, leaf area, stem girth and lateral root growth have increased and well developed when FB-BW and chemical fertilizer are combined. Along with soil macronutrients,Abelmoschus esculentusleaf photosynthetic pigment levels and protein content improved in Group 4. Thus, the combined application of chemical fertilizer and fermented banana fruit waste could enhance the soil quality and productivity ofAbelmoschus esculentus(ladies finger).

“…Biodiversity in organic farms is reported to be up to 30% greater than in conventional farms, with studies indicating significant increases in species diversity (30-34%), abundance of organisms (up to 50%), and even distribution of species [51,52]. Organic farms also demonstrate lower energy usage, ranging from 10-70%, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions by up to 39%, with notably lower emissions of nitrous oxide (14-31%) per unit of land compared to conventional farms [53,54,55]. Additionally, nutrient leaching is less in organic systems, with reductions in nitrate (30-31%), ammonia (18%), and phosphorous [54,55].…”

Organic farming, characterized by the exclusion of synthetic fertilizers and chemical pesticides, represents a sustainable approach to agriculture. This study investigates the impact of organic farming practices on soil health, focusing on the proliferation and activity of soil microorganisms. Natural fertilizers such as farmyard manure, poultry litter, composts, green manures, and oil-free cakes were utilized to enhance soil fertility. The research reveals that these practices significantly improve soil health by fostering a robust microbiome, which is essential to the cycling of nutrients and overall health of the soil vitality. The safety and nutritional benefits of organic food products were also evaluated. Comparative analysis with conventionally grown foods indicates that organic produce contains lower levels of harmful residues such as pesticides, nitrates, metals, and antibiotics. This reduction in contaminants mitigates potential risks to human health associated with conventional farming practices. Furthermore, organic foods are found to be richer in essential nutrients, vitamins, and antioxidants, thereby offering superior nutritional value. The economic implications of organic farming were explored, highlighting its potential to enhance the economic viability of small-scale farmers. With increasing consumer awareness and demand for organic products, farmers practicing organic methods can command higher prices for their produce, thereby improving their economic sustainability and resilience. In conclusion, organic farming emerges as an environmentally friendly and economically viable alternative to conventional agriculture. By promoting soil health, reducing chemical residues in food, and meeting consumer demand for nutritious products, organic farming offers a pathway towards sustainable agricultural practices.

“…Perhaps improved soil physical characteristics from the integrated use of nutrient sources increased the capacity of soil to hold water and nutrients, resulting in higher nutrient availability and uptake by plants. Increased physiological and meristematic activity in plants as a result of better nutrient availability leads to the production of more photo assimilates, which aid in the plant's ability to produce more flowers and minimise the flower drop, thereby increasing the number of fruits per plant (Vishwajith and Devakumar et al, 2018;Mishra et al, 2019).…”
