Biofertilizers are preparations that contain living cells or latent cells of efficient strains of microorganisms, which helps the crop plants in uptake of nutrients from the soil. Theycan be applied either to the seed or to the soil. Once applied, biofertilizers stimulate microbial activities in the soil. These microorganisms generate plant nutrients such as nitrogen and phosphorous through the activities in the soil.
The demand for biofertilizers is increasing due to the stress on reducing environmental pollution and the usage of chemical fertilizers. Microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen in the root nodules of leguminous crops, making the nitrogen easily available. Along with these, microbes also use solubilizer phosphates such as tricalcium and aluminum phosphates, and make them available to plants. They also degrade phosphate from soil layers. Apart from providing nutrients, microbes produce hormones and metabolites, which enhance root growth. Another significant role of biofertilizers is decomposition of organic matter and mineralization of the soil.The global biofertilizers market is projected to generate a value of $1,649.7 million, at a CAGR of 13.9%, by 2019.
