How can bio-fertilizers help in plant growth?

Image
  In current days, strategies of soil management primarily depend on inorganic chemical fertilizers that can cause threats to the environment as well as human health. The exploitation of some beneficial microbes in the form of bio-fertilizers has now become an important aspect in agriculture as they play vital roles in sustainable production of crops and food safety. The eco-friendly approaches of bio fertilizer products can lead to improved uptake of nutrients, plant tolerance and plant growth. This blog emphasizes how bio-fertilizers can help in plant growth.  Phosphorous: Mineralisation and solubilisation One of the important plant nutrients that indirectly or directly affect every biological process is Phosphorus. For example, Phosphorus plays an important role in every metabolic process, such as signal transduction, energy transfer, respiration and molecule biosynthesis. A small amount of Phosphorus is available in soil, in both organic and inorganic forms. However, as ...
