Bentonite as a Soil Conditioner: Improving Soil Amelioration and Nutrient Use Efficiency
Introduction to Bio Fertilizers and Their Importance Bio fertilizers are natural soil additives. They improve soil fertility by increasing the availability of essential nutrients to plants. Utilizing microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and algae, they help in nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and organic matter decomposition. Nitrogen Fixation: Converts atmospheric nitrogen to a form usable by plants. Phosphate Solubilization: Makes phosphorus more accessible. Organic Matter Decomposition: Enhances soil structure and nutrient content. Key benefits of bio fertilizers include cost-effectiveness, environmental sustainability, and improved plant growth.
