| What is an improved bio-organic fertilizer? |
A bio-organic fertilizer is a potent blend of organic fertilizer brought about by the incorporation of nitrogen-fixing bacteria, Azotobacter sp. However, in nature, most activities require the presence of mixture of organisms in order to come up with an effective system. Therefore, a single type of nitrogen-fixing microorganism alone could have not made major impact to soil nutrition and fertility. The presence of mixtures of microorganisms or a "consortium" would provide a more advantageous system.
An improved bio-organic fertilizers is just like a composted organic material incorporated with different microorganisms as inoculants that can fix nitrogen and solubilize phospahates that provide growth substance. |
