4 Biofertilizer Facts All Agriculturists Need to Know

1. General-purpose biofertilizers are available that help to maintain the natural equilibrium between Organic Carbon N, P and K in the soil structure, eventually improving the health of the soil for better crops.

Liquid biofertilizer is increasingly available in the market as one of the alternatives to chemical fertilizer and pesticide. It also helps the rejuvenation of what might have become barren soil, making it possible to bring some land back into cultivation.

2. Many believe that biofertilizer is going to become a critically important tool in the average farmer's toolbox.

Using it is enabling farmers and growers of any scale to use a high-quality fertilizer (Biofertiliser Certification Scheme approved) with bacterial benefits. Biofertilizer combines the power of balanced soil biology to build the soil food web, with the full array of trace elements and soil minerals needed for robustly healthy plant growth.

3. Biofertiliser is a ferment made from a biological base in water and enriched with foods to feed biology and minerals for biology to digest.

Using a product compliant with BSI PAS 110 and the ADQP will save tens of thousands of pounds on other fertilizers, and also provides important validation for farmers that biofertiliser is a safe, effective and environmentally friendly product.

4. Biofertilizer can replace chemical fertilizer in developing countries BY DEFAULT, because of price alone, for farm adjoining biogas plant facilities. It has been identified as an alternative to chemical fertilizer to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable farming. Plus, it can act as a catalytic agent and can aid in the conversion, availability, transformation of the nutrients in the soil.

Summary of Biofertilizer Facts

The exploitation of beneficial microbes as a biofertilizer has become paramount importance in agriculture sector for their potential role in food safety and sustainable crop production.
