A number of intellectuals throughout the world
started working on the alternatives and found that biofertilizers would help in increasing
the yield without causing damages as stated above.
What is biofertilizer?
The name itself is self explanatory. The
fertilizers are used to improve the fertility of the land using biological wastes, hence
the term biofertilizers, and biological wastes do not contain any chemicals which are
detrimental to the living soil. They are extremely beneficial in enriching the soil with
those micro-organisms, which impart organic nutrients to the farm produces and impart
strength to combat diseases too. The farm produces do not contain traces of hazardous and
poisonous materials. Thus those products are accepted across the world as Organic ones.
Hence for organic farming the use of biofertilizers is mandatory.
GALAXY OF BIOFERTILIZERS
Phospho: It releases insoluble phosphorus
in soil and fixes this phosphorus in clay minerals which is of great significance in
agriculture.
Rhizo: Rhizo Bacterial plays a very
important role in agriculture by inducing nitrogen fixing nodules on the root of legumes
such as peas, beans, clove and alfalfa.
Azotobactor: Atmosphere contains 78%
nitrogen which is a very important nutrient for plant growth. Azotobactor fixes the
atmospheric nitrogen in the soil and makes it available to the plants. It protects the
roots from other pathogens present in the soil
Trichoderma: It is a non-pathogenic and
eco-friendly product. The product is an antagonistic hyper parasitic against different
pathogens in the field and an economically well established biocontrol agent
Composter: (Decomposing Culture): Composter
breaks down any organic matter such as dead plants, farm yard waste, cattle waste etc.
thereby increasing the soil productivity.
Tricho-Card: Trichogramma is an efficient
destroyer of eggs of many leaf and flower eaters, stems, fruit, shoot borers, etc. It can
be used in a variety of crops as well as in horticultural and ornamental plants such as
sugarcane, cotton, brinjal, tomato, corn, jawar, vegetables, citrus, paddy apple etc.
Vermi Compost: It is a 100% pure
eco-friendly organic fertilizer. This organic fertilizer has nitrogen, phosphorus,
potassium, organic carbon, sulphur, hormones, vitamins, enzymes and antibiotics which help
improve the quality and quantity of yield. It is observed that due to continuous misuse of
chemical fertilizers soil loses its fertility and gets salty day by day. To overcome such
problems natural farming is the only remedy and Vermi compost is the best solution.
Biocompost: It is an eco-friendly organic
fertilizer which is prepared from the sugar industry waste material which is decomposed
and enriched with various plants and human friendly bacteria and fungi. Biocompost
consists of nitrogen, phosphate solubilizing bacteria and various useful fungi like
decomposing fungi, trichoderma viridea which protects the plants from various soil borne
disease and also helps to increase soil fertility which results in a good quality product
for the farmers.
