It \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eneeded immediate remedial measures to ensure food security at present and in the coming years for \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe long time. To achieve the goal of improving agricultural growth rate, we have to stream line \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ethe practices of nutrient management, which require intensive forms of soil and crop \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewhich will increase the efficiency of production inputs and protect the environment as \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ewell as soil health. Moreover, during the past several decades' agriculture development \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003emainly focused on short term gains in productivity and profitability which has caused several \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003edamage to soil fertility, health and environment.

However, it requires large-scale organic manures and bio fertilizers. Acute \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eshortage of conventional bulky organic manures like compost, FYM, dung, oil cakes etc. also \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003enecessitates the exploitation of other organic sources.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWeeds are plant which are unwanted to crop and other livings, they are found in abundant quantity \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ein crop fields, non-cropped areas, as well as in water bodies.
