Azospirillum Bio Fertilizer

Product Description

Azospirillium is a genus of beneficial, plant growth-promoting bacteria commonly found in soil and rhizosphere environments. This gram-negative, motile bacterium is commonly found in the roots of monocots. It plays a crucial role in nitrogen fixation by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can use, significantly reducing the need for chemical nitrogen fertilizers by up to 50%. These bacteria play a crucial role in agriculture by promoting plant growth and health through various mechanisms. Azospirillium is known for its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, converting it into a plant-usable form through a symbiotic association with plant roots. This reduces the dependency on synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, making it environmentally sustainable. Additionally, Azospirillium produces growth-promoting substances like auxins and cytokinins, which stimulate root development and enhance nutrient uptake.

 It also increases nutrient availability by solubilizing and mineralizing nutrients in the soil. Furthermore, Azospirillium can induce systemic resistance in plants, making them more resistant to pathogens and alleviating biotic stress. This combination of benefits makes Azospirillium a valuable tool for sustainable agriculture and improving crop yields. In addition to its nitrogen-fixing capabilities, Azospirillum secretes small amounts of fungicides and enzymes, which contribute to plant health and protection. This combination of benefits makes Azospirillum an essential component in sustainable agriculture practices.
