Biofertilizers Technology
The galaxy of biofertilizers
are many. For example Phospho which
releases insoluble phosphorus in soil and fix this phosphorus in clay minerals
which is of great significance in agriculture. Similarly, Rhizobacteria play important role in agriculture by inducing
nitrogen fixings nodules on the root of legumes such as peas, beans clove and
alfalfa. Azotobactor fixes the
atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and make it available to the plants. It
protects the roots from other pathogens present in the soil. Composter or decomposing culture breaks
down any organic matter such as dead plants farm yard waste, cattle waste etc. thereby increasing the soil productivity. Vermicompost
is 100% pure eco-friendly organic fertilizer. This organic fertilizer has nitrogen
phosphorus, potassium, organic carbon, sulphur, hormones, vitamins, enzymes and
antibiotics which helps to improve the quality and quantity of yield. Biocompost is eco-friendly organic
fertilizer which is prepared from the sugar industry waste material which is
decomposed and enriched of with various plants and human friendly bacteria and
fungi. Biocompost consists of nitrogen, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and
various useful fungi like decomposing fungi which protects the plants from
various soil borne disease and also help to increase soil fertility which
results to a good quality product to the farmers. Therefore, biofertilizers have for long witnessed shifting fortunes in
agriculture.
