Biofertilizers are divided into groups based on their functions and mechanisms of action. The most commonly used biofertilizers are nitrogen-fixers (N-fixers), potassium solubilizers (K solubilizers), phosphorus solubilizers (P solubilizer), and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) .

Biofertilizers are compounds that include microorganisms and, when given to the soil, improve soil fertility and encourage plant development. In order to boost the nutrient content of the soil and thus the production, biofertilization is a sustainable agricultural practice.

Biofertilizers are essential components of organic farming which play a key role in improving crop productivity, sustainability soil health, environment friendly and cost effective.

Thus, biofertilizers are recommended over chemical fertilizers as they improve the soil structure and texture and enrich the soil with essential nutrients required for plant growth. This post describes the definition, purpose and steps involved in biofertilizer production.

Biofertilizers are carrier-based microbial inoculants containing sufficient cells of efficient strains of specific microoranisms, that help in enhancing the soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilization/ mineralization of phosphorus or decomposing organic wastes, by augmenting plant growth promoting substances with their biologic...

Instead of chemical fertilisers, biofertilisers are used in organic farming. The microorganisms such as bacteria, cyanobacteria, and fungi which are used to improve the nutrient content of the soil are known as biofertilisers.

The following video will introduce you to the need for biofertilizers, types of component organisms and how you would test them and apply them. Further details about this topic is provided in the text matter below.

... biofertilizer application enhances the function and structure of soil microorganisms ( Fig.1.) in addition to its influence on the physicochemical properties of the soil (Berg, 2009). ...
