6. Nitrogen fixing Biofertilizers
Rhizobium :
Most popular biofertilizer
Contain symbiotic bacterium
Mixed with charcoal powder
Present in root nodes of legumes plants
Fixes 20-40 kg of N/acre/sesion
Brings 15-30% improvement in year
Effectivness Dependance:
1. Soil type
2. Climate conditions etc..
Ex:(Red,Black,Green)Bengal
gram(pulses)Soa bean(Oil
seeds,) etc…..
7. Azotobacter :
A free living Nitrogen fixing aerobic bacterium(Activity)
Fixes the atmospheric nitrogen by converting into ammonia
Fixes atm Nitrogen in Rhizosphere
Requires Carbon & calicum to fixes in soil
Main Used for non-legumes
Brings 20% improvement inPaddy,Wheat,Sugarcrane,Potato,etc…
Produce some antibiotic subustances
Synthesis plant growth subustance (Vitamin B, gibberellins.etc..)
8. Azospirillum :
A free living fixing Nitrogen microorganism
Activity: Asymboitic Nitrogen Fixitation
Contain associative symbiotic bacterium
Gives good results mainly in
maize,Sugarcrane,wheat,vegatables,rice etc…
Nitrogen fixing ability is 20-40 kg/ha
Similar to Azobacter
9. Azolla :
A free-floating water fern used as Biofertilizer for wetland rice
Activity:Symboitic Nitrogen Fixation
It’s N-fixing ability is becauseofAnabaena as Edosymbiont
5.5 to7 pH soil is good for this.
2500 to 3000 Kg Azolla issufficient for one ha. Field .
Azolla fixes 30-40 Kg nitrogen / ha. / year.
Rich in proteins and contain almost all the essential
aminoacids.
Along with Anabaena it used as green manure.
10. Phospate solubilizing
Biofertilizers
Phosphorus is very important nutrient of plants as it required in large quantity .
Phosphorus get fixed & becomes unaviable to plant at very high/low PH level
Release 12kg /P/acre/season
Generally non symbiotic
Requid Quantity to methods recommandered for applications
200 gms enough for sead treatement of groundnet,wheat.
100gms for small seed treatment
For root dipping method 1kg of PSB taken in 10-15 litres
It Effective for Paddy,Oil seeds, vegatables
11. Phosphate Mobilizing
Biofertilizers
A Symbiotic biofertilizer
Mutual association between a fungus and the roots of a vascular plant.
The fungus colonizes the host plant's roots, either intracellularly or extracellularly
This association provides the fungus with access to carbohydrates
In return, the plant gains the benefits of the mycelium's higher absorptive
capacity for water and mineral
Ex: Coffee etc…
Mycorrhizal and non
mycorrhizal barley
plants after colonization
with (Kogel, Giessen)
12. Plant Growth Promoting
Rizobacteria
(PGPR)1. Indirect PGPR :
Activity : Bio pesticides
It used in Antibiotic ,Hydrolytic enzymes, Exopolysaccharides etc..
2. Direct PGPR :
Activity : Bio fertilizers
Used in Nitrogen fixation , phosphate&potassium solubilization
It Produces IAA , cytokinins , Gibberelins, Ethylene .
13. Blue green Algae :
A simplest , living autotropic plants
Distributed in aquatic environment
Found in climatic conditions of snow and in hot spring
Ability to photosynthesis food
B.G.A. fix approximately 25 Kg N/ha/year.
- B.G.A. is suitable nitrogen fixer for paddy field .
- Main sp Anabaena and Nostoc
14. Conclusion
Relatively more effective than chemical fertilizers.
Significant effect in Biomass production and grain Productivity.
Biofertilizer have great role in increasing the crop production.
They improve the soil health status.
Cost is lower than other fertilizers.
