Potential of Biomass for Biofertilizer production: A Review

The world's waste generation has drastically increased because of population hikes and industrialization. One of the major masses is biomass not being utilized entirely beyond landfilling and incineration of wastes. The conversion of bio-waste into bioproducts and bioenergy has been accomplished by various countries infinite ways. One of the effective ways of employing bio-waste as a source of biofertilizer production and the nutrients from waste can be utilized for growth. In ancient days of farming, many natural fertilizers are used. Because of the growing population and to meet the demand of victuals rapidly, the practice of inorganic fertilizer in the farming field become a trend. The long-term use of inorganic fertilizers causes various environmental mess and ill benefits to living beings. To conserve the soil from damage and to maintain its fertility the use of biofertilizers is a significant tradition to be followed. Organic waste has major nutrient sources like nitrogen, phosphorous, and potassium which meet the nutrient demand of plants and enhances their growth. Possible management of bio-waste and manufacturing of organic fertilizer with minor impacts on the soil is the objective to be heed for sustainable farming. The article reviewed the eminent use of biofertilizers which are produced from organic waste as the sole source and also discussed the efficient ways of bio-waste conversion to numerous bio valuable products.
