Agriculture is the primary source of income for the majority of India’s people. Big farmers in India use inorganic fertilisers and pesticides on their plantations. However, it would reduce soil fertility. So, in order to address this problem, this paper encourages farmers to return to organic farming, while still increasing crop yield and decreasing crop water requirements. Nano materials and different bio fertilizers were used to cultivate the groundnut crop. For this, we applied these fertilisers to one acre of land for crop production, whereas on the other hand, we applied simple organic fertilisers and water to another one acre of land for comparison. The key goal is to increase yield with high-quality groundnuts. The use of these Nano organic products results in a 17-20% increase in overall production, and the cost-benefit ratio is 1.98, which is very good as compared to conventional inorganic farming.
