It’s not resistance—it’s risk and reality.
For decades, chemical fertilizers delivered fast, visible results and were backed by subsidies, supply chains, and trust built over generations. Bio fertilizers, though sustainable and soil-restoring, often face hesitation due to:
* Fear of short-term yield loss
• Uncertainty around cost and ROI
• Limited local availability and awareness
• Lack of training and on-field guidance
• Peer pressure and “this is how we’ve always done it” mindset
Most farmers prioritize immediate income security over long-term soil health. Without proof on nearby fields, assured markets, and handholding during transition, change feels risky.
The way forward
Adoption accelerates when farmers see:
✔ Demonstration plots
✔ Peer success stories
✔ Economic assurance during transition
✔ Simple, easy-to-use bio solutions
Sustainable farming isn’t about chemicals vs bio—it’s about productivity with soil regeneration. Bridging this gap needs collaboration from agri-companies, policymakers, FPOs, and the farming community.
Healthy soil today means secure food tomorrow.
