Learning Outcomes:
- Biofertilizers supplement the requirements of fertilizers and do not replace
them.
- The use of biofertilizers is being emphasized along with chemical fertilizers
and organic manures.
- Biofertilizers are live products (or latent cells of microbes) and require
care in storage, transport, application and maintaining field conditions.
- Ability to distinguish the types of biofertilizers.
- Development of integrated management for best results uses both nitrogenous
and phosphatic biofertilizers.
- Applied to seed/seed material/seedlings/soil/waste matter/crop residues in
order to increase the population.
- Accelerate some biochemical processes.
8 Make more nutrients available to the crops.
