Organic farming system which primarily aimed at cultivating the land and raising crops in
such a way, as to keep the soil alive and in good health by use of and other biological materials
like fish wastes along with beneficial microbes (biofertilizers) to release nutrients to crops for
increased sustainable production in an eco-friendly. The microbes are vital role for breakdown
organic matter, thereby releasing complex compounds such as amino acids for utilization by
plants. A mixture of beneficial microorganisms is used to enhance productivity of conventional
organic farming. Consequently, to use of fish waste to convert of liquid fertilizer by using of
effective microorganisms such as Brevibacillus agri, Bacillus cereus, Bacillus licheniformis,
Brevibacillus parabrevis for potential fish waste converting bacteria. The microbial function in
this bio-fertilizer degrades the wastes and converts into manure suitable for farming as they
cause mineralization by their metabolic activity and so plants can uptake the minerals
effortlessly. A significant additional benefit of fish as a fertilizer is the dramatic stimulation to
the soils beneficial microorganisms which consume, digest and release the abundant nutrients in
the fish when it is applied to the soil. To stabilize agricultural production but also to increase it
further in sustainable manner. This fish wastes is a complete fertilizer as it contains all the
essential minerals needed for plant growth. This bio-fertilizer can be used as cost effective, an
eco-friendly product for organic agriculture productions.
