WHAT ARE BIOFERTILIZERS [BF]?
• Rhizobium INOCULANTS:
Use of Rhizobium culture in legumes is
most promising. On average, its use
can supply 15-20 kg N/ha to legumes:
increase yield up to 20 per cent.
Rhizobium
• Rhizobium bacteria in roots of legume
plants fix atmospheric N2 in nodules
formed on the roots of plants.
A pure and efficient strain of
Rhizobium multiplied in the lab on a
suitable medium by using shake flask
technology or fermentation technology
and inoculated into seed or root.
Non-legume INOCULANTS
Azotobacter
root.
Mycorrhiza
• Colonise 85% of land plants_ offers
50 % saving in chemical P fertilizer_
higher resistance to soil-and-root
borne pathogens_ helps in
wasteland reclamation by providing
extended arm to plant root system.
# A broad-spectrum mycorrhizal
biofertilizer is available.
