Why “Liquid” Bio-Fertilizers?

0

In the solid forms of bio-fertilizers (carrier-based), the microorganisms have a shelf life of only six months. The population density of these microbes at the time of production reduces day by day reaching to almost nil amounts at the end of the 6th month. Further more, they are less tolerant to UV rays and temperatures more than 30 degrees. That’s why the carrier-based bio-fertilizers were not effective and did not become popular among the farmers. These defects are rectified and fulfilled in the case of Liquid Bio-fertilizers. The shelf life of the microbes in these liquid bio-fertilizers reach as much as three years and has a higher temperature tolerance (55 degrees) and exposure to ultra violet radiations. The application of 1 ml of liquid bio-fertilizer is equivalent to the application of a 1 kg, 5-month-old carrier based bio-fertilizer (1000 times). Since these are liquid formulations, the application in the field is also very simple and easy. They are applied using hand sprayer
