The Role of Microbial Biofertilizers in Enhancing Soil Fertility
Understanding Microbial Biofertilizers Microbial biofertilizers are formulations containing beneficial microorganisms such as nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, and mycorrhizal fungi. These microorganisms enhance plant nutrient availability by fixing atmospheric nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, and mobilizing other essential minerals. Their symbiotic relationships with plant roots improve nutrient uptake, promote healthy root development, and increase overall soil fertility. Benefits Over Chemical Fertilizers Unlike synthetic fertilizers that can degrade soil health over time, microbial biofertilizers improve soil structure by increasing organic matter and supporting soil microbial diversity. They help retain moisture, reduce soil erosion,…
