Role of biofertilizers
Better germination.
More root proliferation.
Make the root rhizosphere more lively.
Makes nutrients available.
Growth Promoting Substances are produced.
Improve quality and quantity of produce.
Improve fertilizer use efficiency.
More biotic and abiotic stress tolerance.
Improve soil health.
Residual Effect.
Make the system more sustainable
Replace 25-30% chemical fertilizers
Increase the crop yields
Decompose plant residues, and stabilize C:N ratio of soil
Types of biofertilizers
1. Nitrogen fixing microorganism
Symbiotic: Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium, Frankia, Azolla
Associative: Azospirillum
Freeliving: Azotobacter
2. Phospho-microorganisms
• Phosphate solubilizing bacteria(PSB):
Bacillus, Pseudomonas
Recommended doses:
• Seed Treatment: 5 – 10 ml/kg seed
• Seedling dip : Dip the seedlings in solution containing 5 ml Rhizobium/lt water.
• Soil application: 1 lt/kg per acre along with FYM
• Drip irrigation : 500 ml in 100 L of water
Recommended doses:
• Seed Treatment: 5 – 10 ml/kg seed
• Seedling dip : Dip the seedlings in solution containing 5 ml/lt water.
• Soil application: 1 lt/kg per acre along with FYM
• Drip irrigation : 500 ml in 100 L of water
Target Crops:
• Cereal crops Paddy, Cotton, Vegetables, Fruit trees and Ornamental plants.
Azospirillum
Recommended doses:
• Seed Treatment: 5 – 10 ml/kg seed
• Seedling dip : Dip the seedlings in solution containing 5 ml Rhizobium/lt
water.
• Soil application: 1 lt/kg per acre along with FYM
• Drip irrigation : 500 ml in 100 L of water
Target Crops:
• Paddy, Cereal crops (Wheat, Maize, Barley, Jowar, Bajra)
Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms (PSM)
Phosphate solubilizers convert insoluble phosphorus into soluble phosphates and make
it available to the plants.
Recommended doses:
• Seed Treatment: 5 – 10 ml/kg seed
• Seedling dip : Dip the seedlings in solution containing 5 ml Rhizobium/lt water.
• Soil application: 1 lt/kg per acre along with FYM
• Drip irrigation : 500 ml in 100 L of water
