Bot GPT 3.5 Biofertilizers are organic substances that contain beneficial microorganisms which help enhance nutrient uptake by plants. The ingredients typically found in biofertilizers include:
1. Beneficial bacteria: This includes species such as Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, and Bacillus which can fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and improve soil structure.
2. Mycorrhizal fungi: These fungi form symbiotic relationships with plant roots, enhancing nutrient uptake and improving plant resistance to diseases.
3. Trichoderma species: These fungi can suppress harmful pathogens and boost plant growth by producing plant growth-promoting substances.
4. Phosphate solubilizing bacteria: These bacteria help to release phosphorus from insoluble forms in the soil, making it more accessible to plants.
5. Nitrogen-fixing bacteria: These bacteria, such as Azotobacter and Rhizobium, convert atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use for growth.
6. Potassium-solubilizing bacteria: These bacteria help to release potassium from mineral sources in the soil, making it available to plants.
These ingredients work together to improve soil fertility, enhance plant growth, and increase crop yields in a sustainable and environmentally friendly manner.
