Bio-Fertilizer in Forest Nursery-A Review

Satyajeet Kar, Sandeep Rout, M.L. Sahu, Yagyavalkya Sharma, Sitanshu Sekhar Patra

Abstract


Many micro-organisms like bacteria, fungi, algae possess plant growth promoting mechanisms. These micro-organisms may be implemented as biofertilizers in agriculture and forestry, improving crop yields. These Biofertilizers can enhance plant increase through numerous different mechanisms. The synthesis of plant nutrients or phytohormones, which may be absorbed with the aid of using plants, mobilization of soil compounds, making them to be available for the plant for use as nutrients, the safety of vegetation under stressful conditions there by counteracting the terrible impacts of stress, defense against plant pathogens, lowering plant diseases or death. Several plant growth-promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) are being used globally for decades as biofertilizers, contributing to growing crop yields and soil fertility and subsequently having the ability to make contributions to greater sustainable forestry. The technology for the manufacturing and application of bacterial inocula are under steady improvement and development and the bacterial primarily based totally biofertilizer market is developing steadily. Nevertheless, the manufacturing and alertness of these products is heterogeneous among the different countries in the world.
