To double farmer’s income sustainably, it is imperative to overcome challenges associated with application of bio-fertilizers. These include raising awareness among farming community about their benefits, ensuring quality control in bio-fertilizer production, and providing adequate support in terms of training and government subsidies. Government policiesand initiatives can play a crucial role in incentivizing the use of bio-fertilizers and promoting their integration into mainstream agricultural practices.
