What is a bio fertilizer in agriculture?

A bio fertilizer is a type of fertilizer made from natural materials and microorganisms that help to increase soil fertility and plant growth.

Bio fertilizers work by enhancing the soil’s nutrient content, improving plant root growth, and promoting beneficial microbial activity in the soil.

Unlike synthetic fertilizers, bio fertilizers do not contain harmful chemicals that can damage the environment or the health of plants and animals.

There are several types of bio fertilizers available, including nitrogen-fixing bio fertilizers, phosphorus-solubilizing bio fertilizers, and bio fertilizers containing beneficial microorganisms.

Nitrogen-fixing bio fertilizers contain bacteria that can convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use.

Phosphorus-solubilizing bio fertilizers contain microorganisms that can release phosphorus from the soil and make it more available to plants.

Bio fertilizers containing beneficial microorganisms can help to improve soil structure, increase nutrient uptake, and enhance plant growth and productivity.

Bio fertilizers are commonly used in organic farming and sustainable agriculture systems as a way to increase soil fertility and reduce the use of synthetic fertilizers.

Bio fertilizers have been shown to improve crop yield and quality while reducing the environmental impact of agriculture. However, the effectiveness of bio fertilizers can depend on factors such as soil type, crop type, and climate, so it is important to choose the right bio fertilizer for a particular situation and use it properly.

What is a biostimulant in agriculture?

What is a biostimulant in agriculture?

Biostimulants are substances and microorganisms used in agriculture to improve plant growth, health, and productivity.

Biostimulants work by enhancing plant nutrient uptake, stress tolerance, and root growth, among other benefits.

Biostimulants differ from fertilizers in that they do not directly provide nutrients to plants but rather stimulate natural processes within the plant to promote growth and health.

There is no universally accepted definition of biostimulants, but they are generally considered to include a wide range of substances, such as humic and fulvic acids, amino acids, seaweed extracts, microbial inoculants, and plant growth-promoting substances.

Biostimulants can be applied to plants through soil drenching, foliar spraying, seed coating, or fertigation. Several of our pre harvest solutions are offered as biostimulants.

The use of biostimulants has been growing in popularity in recent years as a way to improve plant growth and productivity while reducing the need for synthetic inputs. Biostimulants have been shown to improve crop yield, quality, and stress tolerance in a variety of crops, including fruits, vegetables, cereals, and ornamentals.
