Description

Given the well-known negative externalities of chemical fertilisers, biofertilizers are viewed as a significant alternative technique. A material called biofertilizer contains living microorganisms that, when added to soil, seeds, or plant surfaces, colonise the rhizosphere or inside of the plant and encourage development by boosting the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant. Through the natural processes of nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, and plant growth-stimulating chemical synthesis, biofertilizers add nutrients to the soil. We can anticipate that using biofertilizers will cut down on the use of chemical pesticides and fertilisers. This book covers all the main varieties of bacterial fertilisers and presents the enormous potential of biofertilizers as an additional source of nutrients for crops. The significance of nitrogen fixation and the main applications of fertilisers in agriculture are discussed. Crop response to biofertilizers, nitrogen fixation, microorganisms that solubilize phosphate, application and assessment procedures, biogas production, production, quality control, and future research planning of biofertilizers are the main topics of this book. Consultants, researchers, libraries, business owners, producers of biofertilizers, and anybody else interested in entering this industry would find this book to be of great help and interest.
