Biofertilizers & Plant Vectors

Biofertilizers

Bio fertilizers are substances containing living microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, inhabit the rhizosphere or interior of plants and promote growth by increasing the supply or availability of key nutrients to the host plant. Bio fertilizers are considered a viable, sustainable and attractive biotechnology alternative for increasing crop yields, improving and restoring soil fertility, stimulating plant growth, reducing production costs and the environmental impacts associated with chemical fertilizers. Bio fertilizers are efficient microbial biologics that promote plant growth by improving nutrient acquisition. They improve soil productivity by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, dissolving soil phosphorus, and stimulating plant growth.
