Abstract

Farmers in Telangana are starting to use bio-fertilizers more as they look for better and safer ways to grow crops. This paper will throw light on, how bio-fertilizers are being used in the Telangana state, what benefits they bring, and what problems farmers still face. Bio-fertilizers help improve soil health, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and increase crop yields. The objective is to explore the usage patterns, agronomic impact, and economic viability of bio-fertilizer application in the state. A cost-benefit analysis to show that bio-fertilizers may cost more at the beginning, they save money over time because they reduce the need for expensive chemicals and improve soil in the long run, and also to show how farmers or farmer groups are using natural waste to make farming better. Government programs like the Paramparagat Krishi Vikas Yojana (PKVY) are helping farmers switch to organic methods by giving support and resources. Nevertheless some problems remain, like lack of awareness, limited supply of bio-fertilizers, and slower results compared to chemicals. The paper suggests that with better education, government help, and support for local markets, more farmers in Telangana can benefit from using bio-fertilizers.
