What is BioFertilizers?
The fertilizers which are used to improve the fertility of the land using bilogical wastes. they are extremely beneficial in enriching the soil with those micro-organisms, which import organic nutrients to the farm producers & impact trength to combat with diseases too. the farm produces donot contain traces of hazardous & poisonous materials. thus those products are accepted across the world's as organic ones. hence, for organic farming the use of biofertilizers is mandatory.
BIOFERTILIZERS FEW TERMS :
- Phospho : it releases insoluable phosphorous in soil & fix this phosphorus in clay minerals which is of great significance in an agriculture.
- Rhizo : rhizo bacterial plays a very important role in agriculture by inducing nitrogen fixings nodules on the roots of legumes such as peas, beans, cloves & alfalfa.
- Azotobactor : atmosphere contains 78% nitrogen which is very important nutrient for plant growth. Azotobactor fixes the atmospheric nitrogen in ths soil & make it available to the plants . it protects the roots from other pathogens present in the soil.
- Trichoderma : it is non-pathogenic & eco-friendly product . the product is autogonistic hyper parasitic against different pathogens in the field & economically well established biocontrol agent.
- Composer (decomposing culture) : this breaks down any organic matter such as dead plants from yard waste, cattle waste etc., there by increasing the soil productivity.
- Tricho-card : trichogramma is an efficient destroyer of eggs of many leaf & flower eaters, stem fruit, shoot borers etc. it can be used in a variety of crop as well as in horitculture & ornamental plants, such as sugarcane, cotton, brinjal, tomato, corn, jawar, vegetables, citrus, paddy, apple.
- Vermi-compost : it is 100% pure eco-friendlly organic fertilizers. this organic fertilizer has nitrogen phosphorus, potassium, organic-carbon, sulphur, harmones, vitamins, enzymes & antiboitics which help to improve the quality & quantity of yield. it is observed that due to continuous misuse of chemical fertilizers soil losses its fertility & gets salty day by day. to avoid this vermi-compost is used.
- Bio-compost : it is eco-friendlly organic fertilizer which is prepared from the sugar industry waste material which is decomposed & enriched of with various palnts & human friendly bateria & fungi. Bio-compost consists of nitrogen, phosphate, solubilizing bacteria & various useful fungi like decomposing fungi, trichodorma viridea which protects the plants from various soil borne diseases & also helps to increase soil fertility which results to a good quality products to farmers.
