What are Biofertilizers?
A biofertilizer is a substance which contains living micro-organisms which, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant and promotes growth by increasing the supply or availability of primary nutrients to the host plant.
- Add nutrients through natural processes like nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization.
- Stimulate plant growth through the synthesis of growth-promoting substances.
- Restore the soil's natural nutrient cycle and build soil organic matter.
- Enable growth of healthy plants, enhancing sustainability and reducing reliance on synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
