Abstract

The study involves to see the commercial and economical implication of farmers in using organic and bio-fertilizer in Nagpur Division. This study is conducted to analyze the awareness, farmers adoption pattern, marketing practices, cost effectiveness and economic benefit of the use of organic and bio-fertilizer for the farming activities. The study also examines the impact of these fertilizers on the productivity of crops, soil fertility and sustainable agriculture practices. Structured questionnaires and interviews of farmers were conducted in selected districts of Nagpur Division to gather primary data and government reports, agricultural journals and related literature were used to gather secondary data. The results suggest that the incorporation of organic and bio-fertilizers has had a beneficial impact on farmers' income, minimized reliance on chemical fertilizers, and enhanced environmental sustainability. But there are still other issues of low awareness, high start-up, and poor marketing support which limit the wider application among farmers in the area.
