Abstract

Soil fertility is crucial for survival of humanity at the planet earth. Plants obtain nutrients quantitatively from soil and qualitatively from the atmosphere. Conventional Agriculture (CA) is based on fossil fuel and imported sources of energy which is dwindling and becoming expensive. Indiscriminate use of agro chemicals, predomination of monoculture, heavy irrigation and many other factors have impacted adversely the soil biology and environmental ecology. As result the air which we breathe, water which we drink and food which we consume in large tract of India, are polluted/contaminated. Currently soils are tired, overworked, depleted, sick, poisoned by chemicals and many other pollutants’. Organic carbon in most of the soils has reduced less than 0.5 per cent and there are reports that in certain areas it has reduced even to 0.3 percent. Sporadic attempts have indicated that by systematic and synergistic mediation of cosmic energy through natures’ gesture can meet the nutrient demand without use of any agro chemicals.
