These fertilizers are a rich source of primary nutrients, which include nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium and help maintain the health of the crops. Furthermore, they increase the organic & humus content in the soil, provide nutrients for microorganisms in the soil, and restore the physical‐chemical properties of the soil.
Large-scale use of synthetic fertilizers has reduced the fertility of the soil in the European region. Thus, the adoption of organic fertilizers has increased considerably to restore the fertility of the soil.
