What is Biofertilizer?

Biofertilizers are a group of specific types of bacteria that are given to plants in the form of liquid or compost. It changes the plants from the unavailable state to the available state in the soil. The use of organic fertilizers saves up to one-third of the quantity of chemical fertilizers. These nitrogen-supplying organic fertilizers are naturally found in small lumps in the roots of all pulse crops and soybean, groundnut, etc. Which, acting as a symbiosis, transports the nitrogen present in the atmosphere to the plants.

The contribution of organic fertilizers in organic farming is to increases the nutritional quality of the soil. These are the main sources of bacteria, fungi, and cyanobacteria. It is also reducing soil nutrient replenishment and dependence on chemical fertilizers.

Main benefits of biofertilizers

• Bio-fertilizers can be made at a low cost and the method of making them is simple.
• The use of these increases fertilizer power and promotes sustainable agriculture production.
• The use of biofertilizers increases the physical and chemical properties of the soil and increases the ability to hold water, so the bearing land can also be made fertile.
• Nitrogen depletion in the soil can be accomplished by the use of Bacteria such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, and Agisprilum.
• Cyanobacteria increase the amount of Organic Substance in the soil by secreting proteins, Amino Acids vitamins, etc, and also stabilize Nitrogen in the soil.
• The use of mycorrhiza bio-fertilizer increases the surface area of ​​the roots. VAM (Vesicular Arbuscular Mycorrhiza) is very important for phosphate nutrition in plants. The efficiency of absorption of water and mineral salts from the ground increases, due to which the production increases.
• In the presence of VAM, there is a decrease in disease-causing fungi and bacteria.
• Bio-fertilizers are produced by natural resources. Therefore, being environment friendly, they do not pollute the atmosphere.
• Some bio-fertilizers such as Azotobacter secretes per organic material.

Agriculture has many of Adverse Effect of Agriculture Around The World, including soil erosion, water pollution, deforestation, and biodiversity loss.
