Abstract
Agricultural practices are one of the most significant driving factors to support the economic development of the nation. As fertilizers account for a small portion of the overall cost of output in many developing countries, farmers frequently add fertilizers above the required rate to ensure high crop yield. By supplying plants with nutrients they serve as catalysts for their optimal growth and production but gradually, chemical fertilizers begin to show their ill impacts on the environment. With raising perception of the ill impacts of indiscriminate chemical use, the tendency of farmers toward environmentally sustainable technology is rising. Biofertilizer, on the other hand, refer to articles containing live or latent microbes which helps boost fertility of soil by either solubilizing phosphorus, fixing atmospheric nitrogen, decomposing organic waste or stimulating growth of plant through the synthesis of growth-promoting substances. A poly pot experiment was carried out to study the effect of chemical and biofertilizer application on morphological and biochemical parameters of Vigna radiata and found that the combined application of both fertilizers significantly enhanced the value of experimental parameters as compared to the control as well as their single treatments. Therefore, it could be reduce the dependency on chemical fertilizers to improve the crop growth and productivity for sustainable agricultural practices.
