Bio Fertilizers
Bio Fertilizers
- Bio-Fertilizers are Supplement Chemical Fertilizers.
- Bio-Fertilizers are cheap and can reduce the cost of cultivation.
- Fix Biological Nitrogen in the soil, which is readily available to the plant.
- Improve soil properties and sustain soil fertility.
- Provides plant nutrient at low cost and useful for the consecutive crops.
| Name of Bio-Fertilizers | Contribution | Most Beneficiary Crop |
