The continuous use or excess supply of inorganic fertilizers as source of nutrient in imbalanced proportion is also a problem, causing economic inefficiency, damage to the environment and in certain situations, harm the plants themselves and also to human being who consume them. On the other hand, increase in productivity of horticultural produce removes large amounts of essential nutrients from the soil. Without proper management, continuous production of crops reduces nutrient reserves in the soil. Another issue of great concern is the sustainability of soil productivity, as land began to be intensively exhausted to produce higher yields. Overtime, cumulative depletion decreases production, yield and soil fertility and lead to soil degradation. The new approach to farming often referred to as sustainable agriculture, seeks to introduce agricultural practices that are ecofriendly and maintain the long term ecological balance of soil ecosystem. The judicial use of organic inputs with inorganic is considered as the alternative source to meet the nutrient requirement of the crops.
