Abstract:
Introduction: Now a days, traditionally the organic edible and non-edible oils are used as a fertilizer for farming to get high quality yields with low cost per crop.
Methods: Crude edible and non-edible oils which were extracted from some seeds, nuts, cereal grains and fruits by using traditional, solvent extraction and machine extraction methods.
Results: Oils contain sufficient amount of macro and micro elements which justify its suitability in agro-industrial uses. In order to reduce the production cost by minimizing or utterly eliminating the use of chemical fertilizers, decreasing environmental hazards, improve soil structure, promote leveraging agriculture and obtain high yield quality crops. Some plant oils, neem and mustard oils were highly effective in reducing disease incidence.
Conclusion: Recently farmers are adopting the practice of application of crude edible and non-edible oils from ground nut, rice bran, cotton, neem, mustard and pongamia etc to get good growth and higher yield with better quality in some of the horticultural and agricultural crops.
