Organic Fertilizer for Sustainable Agriculture How to attain good crop growth is one of the major considerations in organic farming. Farmers usually depend on available commercial preparations, which are costly. Besides, the availability of supply and the manner by which these are prepared are uncertain. To address this problem, farmers can produce their own liquid farm inputs. Raw materials needed can easily be found. The procedure is simple and easy to follow, and the production cost is very minimal.
