Abstract

Agriculture is one of the important issues of Bangladesh where a larger share of the people related to it for their livelihood, food and socio-economics. Farmers in Bangladesh mostly depend on chemical fertilizer within the auspicious of conventional agriculture for higher production without or little application of organic or compost fertilizers. Such a fertilizer management practice in agriculture not only causes massive deterioration of soil fertility but the farmers are also being hampered economically for higher price of chemical fertilizers. This experiment was conducted to focus mainly on the fertilizer usage and agricultural practices of the local farmers in Salua Area of Chougachha Upazila, Jessore district, Bangladesh. This study identified the reasons of using chemical fertilizers or causes for not using environmental friendly and beneficial compost in soils. This survey was conducted to know the insights of fertilizer usage pattern, and to identify causes why people are so much dependent on chemical fertilizer although it is expensive and sometimes harmful for soil, water and environment. The result of the present study showed that lack of knowledge, availability and lack of getting opportunity towards organic based fertilizers are the key reasons of not using compost fertilizer during cultivation of crops by the farmers.

Keywords: Agriculture, Chemical fertilizers and Fertilizer application practice
