Biofertilizers - A noble technology for sustainable agriculture

Technology for Sustainable Agriculture from Waste

Sustainability in agriculture is the primary need of the country, especially for farmers in the society. Sustainable agriculture depends on, a. the quality and quantity of irrigational water used, b. Status of soil in the Land and c. the dimatic conditions of the environment. In most of the locations and for particularly in coastal regions such a ideal conditions could not be possible. Developi...

Bacterial Biofertilizers for Sustainable Crop Production: a Review

The most important constraint limiting crop yield in developing nations worldwide, and especially among resource-poor farmers, is soil infertility. Therefore, maintaining soil quality can reduce the problems of land degradation, decreasing soil fertility and rapidly declining production levels that occur in large parts of the world needing the basic principles of good farming practice. Minerals...

Role of bacterial biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry

Many rhizospheric bacterial strains possess plant growth-promoting mechanisms. These bacteria can be applied as biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry, enhancing crop yields. Bacterial biofertilizers can improve plant growth through several different mechanisms: (i) the synthesis of plant nutrients or phytohormones, which can be absorbed by plants, (ii) the mobilization of soil compounds, m...

Sustainable Intensive Agriculture: High Technology and Environmental Benefits

Biofertilizers function as key player in sustainable agriculture by improving soil fertility, plant tolerance and crop productivity

Current soil management strategies are mainly dependent on inorganic chemical-based fertilizers, which caused a serious threat to human health and environment. 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. The eco-friendly approaches inspire a wide range of...
