Background of the Invention
Roots are the building blocks of a plant, and the growth of roots is an important factor of a plant and crop as a whole. It is found that healthy and web-like roots are needed to maintain the overall health of a plant. In fact, roots are responsible to supply the required amount of nutrients and water are needed for the growth of the plants. The required amount of the nutrients, nowadays, is not found in the soil and therefore different kinds of fertilizers are mixed with the soil to supply nutrients to the plants as and when required. Conventional fertilizers provide nutrients but do not nourish the roots of the plants as such. Therefore, it is required to ensure that the ingredients are mixed precisely and measured to be applied in the fields. Overuse of the known fertilizers can kill the plants and thus the crop.

There are disadvantages associated with the known fertilizer compositions. One of the disadvantages is that known fertilizer compositions are more expensive than natural fertilizers as the known fertilizers contain more synthetic/chemical ingredients.

Another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that conventional fertilizers have chemicals which are potentially harmful to the skin and respiratory system of human beings.
Yet another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that conventional fertilizers have such chemicals which are harmful to the microorganisms that live in the soil.
Still another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that conventional fertilizers are highly soluble in water, and as a result, they leach into groundwater, and thus do not provide a full benefit to the plant as it has fewer nutrients available to it.
A further disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that conventional fertilizers cause pollution of water as the chemicals used in the fertilizer are leaching away from chemical fertilizer and into the soil.
Another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that the chemicals used in the conventional fertilizers seep into the subsoil and interact with clay resulting in the formation of impermeable layers known as hardpan and as a result the soil becomes compacted.
Yet another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that conventional fertilizers have such chemicals which pollute the natural quality of the soil is have been diminished.

Still another disadvantage associated with the known fertilizer compositions is that known fertilizers are accumulated in soil over time, resulting in long-term imbalances in the soil's pH and fertility.
