Abstract Enormous amount of organic wastes are generated from plant, animals and industrial activities in day to day life. A considerable part of which remains unutilized and are either burnt or dumped nearby sites that create pollution, harbours pathogen for diseases and causes severe problem of disposal. Instead of disposing, it can be used as source of organic wastes and effectively recycled for the production of compost to meet the nutritional requirement of crops. Since organic wastes are an abundant pool of organic matter and valuable plant nutrients, agricultural recycling of these wastes appears to be a promising alternative enabling value addition and their resourceful utilization. Considering growing deficiency of plant nutrients in crop field, higher cost of synthetic fertilizers and poor efficiency of chemical fertilizers, the organic wastes recycling for plant nutrient supply is becoming more essential for replenishment of plant nutrients, sustaining soil health, reducing the pollution problem and creating employment opportunities.

Abstract
Enormous amount of organic wastes are generated from plant, animals and industrial activities in day to day
life. A considerable part of which remains unutilized and are either burnt or dumped nearby sites that create
pollution, harbours pathogen for diseases and causes severe problem of disposal. Instead of disposing, it can
be used as source of organic wastes and effectively recycled for the production of compost to meet the
nutritional requirement of crops. Since organic wastes are an abundant pool of organic matter and valuable
plant nutrients, agricultural recycling of these wastes appears to be a promising alternative enabling value
addition and their resourceful utilization. Considering growing deficiency of plant nutrients in crop field,
higher cost of synthetic fertilizers and poor efficiency of chemical fertilizers, the organic wastes recycling
for plant nutrient supply is becoming more essential for replenishment of plant nutrients, sustaining soil
health, reducing the pollution problem and creating employment opportunities. However, effective
utilization of organic wastes for agricultural purposes requires thorough and strict risk assessment to prevent
the adverse effects of contaminants like heavy metals, persistent organic pollutants to ensure agro-
environmental sustainability. So, it is necessary to explore the possibility of bio conservation of Organic
wastes and their recycling procedures to utilize the embedded nutrients from the different organic wastes in
the agriculture field for upliftment of soil health and crop growth, which will not only improve the yield and
quality of the produce but also conserve energy, minimize hazardous pollution and also improve the Nutrient
use efficiency.
Key words: Organic waste, Recycle, Resourceful utilization, Hazardous pollution
