BIOFERTILIZER

Nitrogen is one of the most essential elements needed by plants for their growth and Azolla’s high nitrogen content makes it an ideal biofertilizer.

Although nitrogen is abundant in the earth’s atmosphere, few plants are able to assimilate nitrogen directly from the atmosphere and most plants obtain their nitrogen from complex compounds in the soil. Fertilizes add these to the soil and may be organic (composed of organic matter) or inorganic (made of simple, inorganic chemicals or minerals).

Inorganic nitrogen fertilizers are mostly synthesized by the Haber-Bosch Process and the high yields achieved by modern agriculture are only possible because of the worldwide use of inorganic nitrogen fertilizers. Almost 100 million tons of nitrogen fertilizer per year are now needed every year to maintain this output – more than ten times the amount used in 1961.

Biofertilizers

Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers that improve the soil in many ways that are not provided by chemical fertilizers and they do not have their negative side effects.

They organic including living microorganisms matter to the soil. These produce gums, waxes, and resins that are resistant to decomposition, helping to help bind together soil particles as granules or aggregates.

A well-aggregated soil tills easily that is well aerated and able to produce even more organic matter. These organic-rich healthy soils cycle nutrients biologically in a natural way so that they quickly absorb and maintain water after rain, have less evaporation from the surface and are less likely to erode be lost.

This would reduce the amount of runoff and flooding that is becoming a repeated feature of our weather.
