Basic 11 Role of Organic matter in soil fertility Read MoreImportance/Uses of Biofertilizers 1. Biofertilizers increases the nitrogen content of soil. 2. Biofertilizers prepared with phosphate solubilizing microorganisms increases the phosphorus availability in soil. 3. Biofertilizer are environmentally friendly. They can be used for the protection of environment. 4. Some biofertilizer such as Azolla and BGA compact the toxic effect arising from fertilizer and pesticides. 5. It increase the yield of crop. 6. Biofertilizer improve the fertility status of soil, improve soil health and increases the yield of crop. 7. It improve physical, chemical and biological properties of soil responsible for enhanced fertility and productivity. 8. They help proliferation and survival of other beneficial microorganism. …
Basic 15 Importance/Uses of Biofertilizers Read MoreWhat is biofertilizer and types of biofertilizers Bio-fertilizer Biofertilizer comes from alive particles or alive materials. The term ‘Biofertilizer’ or more appropriately microbial inoculant can be defined as the preparations containing live and latent cells of efficient strains of nitrogen-fixing, phosphate solubilizing or …
What is biofertilizer and 9 types of biofertilizers Read MoreFunctions of Humus 1. Effective humus and stable humus are further sources of nutrients to microbes, the former provides a readily available supply, and the latter acts as a longerterm storage reservoir. 2. Humus is a colloidal substance and increases the soil’s cation exchange capacity. From 20 to 70% of the exchange capacity of the soil is owing to colloidal humic substances. 3. Humus can hold the equivalent of 80–90% of its weight in moisture and therefore increases the soil’s capacity to with stand drought conditions. 4. The dark color of humus (usually black or dark brown) helps to warm up cold soils in the spring. 5. Humus has a profound effect on the structure of soils. The deterioration of structure that accompanies intensive tillage is usually less severe in soils adequately supplied with humus. 6. Humus definitely increases the ability of the soil to resist erosion. It enables the soil to hold more water. 7. Humus serves as a source of energy for both macro and microorganisms. The numbers of bacteria, actinomycetes and fungi in the soil are related in a general way to humus content; Faunal organisms are similarly affected. …
