biofertilisation
Biofertilisation is the use of living microorganisms or their products to increase the availability of nutrients to plants or to promote plant growth. It encompasses the application of biofertilizers, microbial inoculants, and other biologically active preparations to seeds, planting material, soil, or the root zone.
Microorganisms involved include nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and fungi, and plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria. Diazotrophic organisms such
Common biofertilizers include Rhizobium inoculants for legumes, Azospirillum and Azotobacter for cereals, and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria and
Biofertilisation can reduce dependency on chemical fertilizers, improve soil health, and support sustainable nutrient management, particularly
