This study examines the role of organic fertilizers in enhancing barley
yield. With the increasing demand for sustainable agricultural practices, organic fertilizers
offer an eco-friendly alternative to synthetic chemicals. The research highlights the positive
impact of organic fertilizers on soil health, nutrient availability, and barley growth. Field
trials were conducted to compare the effect of organic fertilizers such as compost, manure,
and green manure on barley yield. The results indicate that organic fertilizers significantly
improve barley productivity by enhancing soil structure, promoting microbial activity, and
increasing nutrient content. This study emphasizes the importance of integrating organic
fertilizers in barley cultivation for sustainable farming and higher yields.
