Bio-Fertilizers
Biofertilizers that contains living microorganisms, which are promoting plant growth without deleterious side effects for environment and increasing the yield through different mechanisms, the major role in maintaining soil fertility on the appropriate level and improving its structure by influencing the aggregation of the soil particles.
01
Azospirillum
Azospirillum is a Microaerophilic free living/associative nitrogen fixing bacteria colonizes the root region of crop plants in large numbers and fixes considerable amount of nitrogen equivalent to that of application of 15 - 20 kg N/ha and enhance the plant growth by nutrient mobilization, nitrogen fixation, phytochrome production and induction of defence mechanisms against biotic and abiotic stresses.
02
Rhizobium
Rhizobium is symbiotic ‘N’ fixing microorganisms, it is increased plant growth through enriching nutrients by nitrogen fixation, solubilizing phosphates and producing phytochromes and increase the plant defense mechanism by producing the metabolites, improve the plant defense by triggering systematic resistance induced against pests and pathogens.
03
Azotobacter
Free living ‘N’ fixing bioinoculants, it produces plant growth promoting substances such as IAA, Gibberellic acid, Cytokinin, nicotinic acid and Pantothenic acid and also produce a antibiotics and fungicide can be act as defense mechanism. This organism restricts growth of several seed borne pathogen.
04
Bacillus megaterium var. phosphaticum
Phosphorous (P) is a major plant nutrient next to nitrogen. Large amount of soil phosphorus is mostly unavailable to plants. About 10 to 12% of P added through chemical fertilizer is available to the crop for which it is applied and rest turns to unavailable form. These organisms are able to solubilize insoluble fixed soil P which plant can use.
05
Arbuscular mycorrhiza
Mycorrhizal fungi are a mutualistic beneficial symbiotic association between plant and fungi are known P mobilizing as they form symbiosis with higher plants and to provide soil P which is away from the plant root zone. It reduces the incidence of fungal and nematode diseases. Alleviation of drought stress on agriculture crops as well as forest plants. Phytochrome like to auxins and cytokinin produced. Fungal hyphae from mycorrhizal plants may exploit nutrients from dead plants and transfer to living plants.
06
Potassium solubilizing bacteria (KSB)
Potassium solubilizing microorganism is promising approach for increase k availability in soil. They convert insoluble forms of soil K to a plant available form and enhanced the availability of nutrients and also improved the plant growth and act as defense mechanisms against plant pathogens.
07
Combined inoculation NPK
Beneficial microorganisms involve in the fixation, solubilization and release the N, P and K. This combined inoculants to enhance the plant growth, producing phytochromes, plant defense by producing metabolites and improve the plant defense by triggering systematic resistance induced against pest and diseases.
