Abstract

The increasing world population has tremendous pressure on land use and other natural resources causing damages to the ecological domain [1].The increased crop production over the years has also accelerated the removal of plant nutrient four times during the last four decades thereby reducing soil nutrient and stability.Chemical fertilizer has contributed positively to the increase in world food productions [2].It is worthy to note that continuous use of chemical fertilizer does not develop good plant character such as good root system, shoot system, nutritional characters and also will not get enough time to grow and mature properly [3].Chemically produced plant will accumulate in human body, toxic chemicals which are very dangerous.To minimize the ac-
