- 1. A comparative study of the efficacy of Biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer on Rice Neethu Kannan II yr Botany Dept. of Botany Mercy College, Palakkad
- 2. Why Biofertilizers? Chemical fertilizers run into the following disadvantages Not environmentally viable as the fertilizers are produced from non-renewable raw material. Efficiency lesser than other alternative – nearly 60% lesser. The issues of pollution is overwhelming. Cost of chemical fertilizers are high. Chemical fertilizers most effective with irrigated land but not dry lands. Indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers deteriotes soil health.
- 3. Objectives of the studyObjectives of the study To compare efficiency of Azotobacter sp based biofertilizers with chemical fertilizer. To study the biomass increase with respect to Morphological, Physiological and Anatomical variations.

- 15. Conclusion • Significant increase in biomass production and grain productivity. • Relatively more effective than chemical fertilizers. • Hence can be concluded with further study that biofertilizer is a better alternative to chemical fertilizers. Supportive literature also confirms its environmental safeness (effective decomposition).
