Question

Name the categories of organisms used as biofertilisers with an example for each. How do they function in organic farming?

✓

Answer

Bacteria: Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Rhizobium.
Cyanobacteria: Nostoc, Anabaena, Oscillatoria.

Mycorrhizae:

Glomus sp.
They increase soil fertility by fixing atmospheric nitrogen (bacteria and cyanobacteria) and also by adding organic matter through photosynthesis (Cyanobacteria).
Fungi in mycorrhizae help the plant to absorb phosphorus from the soil; they also provide resistance to root borne pathogens and tolerance to soil salinity and drought.
