 ABSTRACT

Currently, there is a rising need for agricultural production, not only to meet high quality requirements, but also to produce strategies that are environmentally sustainable. The inorganic fertilizers are required for promoting plant growth and production but continuous application of inorganic fertilizer is demanding our soil and environment. So, we should move back to the past and use organic fertilizers because organic fertilizers have clear advantages over chemical fertilizers. The organic fertilizers have a high percentage of organic matter and rich nutrient components; it can improve the physical properties of the soil primarily by improving aggregate stability and decreasing the density of soil bulk; it can also improve the biological and bio-chemical properties of the soil and enhance the structure of the soil microbial community. The present review article focuses on the impact of inorganic and organic fertilizer on agriculture crop production, agricultural soil, environment and human health.

Keywords: Sustainable Agricultural Production; Inorganic Fertilizer; Organic Fertilizers and Quality Production.
