Here’s a more detailed explanation:
-
What they are:Biofertilizers are essentially microbial inoculants, meaning they contain beneficial microorganisms (like bacteria, fungi, or algae) that can improve soil fertility and plant health.
How they work:
- Nutrient Availability: These microorganisms can fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, or mobilize potassium, making these essential nutrients more accessible to plants.
- Soil Health: Biofertilizers can improve soil structure, enhance water retention, and suppress soilborne pathogens.
- Nutrient Availability: These microorganisms can fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, or mobilize potassium, making these essential nutrients more accessible to plants.
