Soil is a natural habitat of variety of agriculturally beneficial microorganisms. Certain soil microorganisms have an ability to absorb and convert atmospheric nitrogen to the readily available form to the plants. Whereas certain soil microorganisms solubilize part of the bound phosphates of the soil and thereby make them available to the plants. Both these attributes make them important to be used as Biofertilizers.
The term 'Biofertilizer' itself denotes that, it is a 'Live Fertilizer'. The quality of Biofertilizers demand in-depth study of microbial characteristics, effective, consistency , precautions and limitations not only at laboratory and production level but at field level too. The Biofertilizers are very important, low cost, Eco-friendly organic agro-input, supplementary to the Chemical Fertilizers. |

Advantages of Biofertilizers in general |
| |
| • |
Add nutrients (Nitrogen) to the soil / make them (Phosphorous) available to the cop. |
| • |
Secrete certain growth promoting substances. |
| • |
Under certain conditions they exhibit anti-fungal activities and thereby protect the plants from pathogenic fungi. |
| • |
Harmless and Eco-friendly low cost agro-input supplementary to Chemical Fertilizers |
| • |
Improve soil structure (porosity) and water holding capacity. |
| • |
Enhance seed germination. |
| • |
Increase soil fertility, Fertilizer Use Efficiency and ultimately the yield by 15-20 % in general. |
