What is Biofertilizers

26/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

To maintain the fertility of the soil and for good produce, there are some naturally occurring bacteria or microorganisms that we call biofertilizer.
Bio-fertilizers convert nitrogen present in the atmosphere into ammonia and provide it to plants.
It makes insoluble nutrients like phosphorus and other nutrients present in the soil soluble and makes it easily available to the plants.
Bio-fertilizers are completely natural so they do not have any harmful effects on the environment.
It helps in increasing soil’s physical and biological properties and its fertility.
The effect of bio manure is observed very slowly in crops and soil. About two to three billion microorganisms are found in one gram of soil on the field, which contains bacteria, fungi, etc., which work towards increasing the fertility of the soil and increasing crop production.

Importance of Potash in Crops

25/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Potash is an essential nutrient for crop production
A balanced amount of potash increases immunity for various conditions in the crop such as diseases, pest diseases, lack of nutrition, etc.
Potash produces good root development and strong stem growth in the crop, which results in it having a good grip on the soil.
A balanced amount of potash develops water holding capacity of the soil
Potash is an enhancer of crop yield and quality.
The lack of it stops crop growth.
Due to potash deficiency, the old leaf of the crop turns yellow from the edge while the color of younger leaves turns darker, the tissues of the leaves die and later the leaves dry up.

What do you mean by acidic soil

25/07/2020 Tuesday January 12th, 2021

Acidity is a natural property of the soil which also affects the production of crops.
In the case of excessive rainfall, the alkaline elements found on the top layer of the soil get washed away which lowers the pH value of the soil to less than 6.5 making it acidic.
Acidic soil hinders the complete development of the crop making the roots of the crop small, thick and clumped.
This type of soil is deficient in essential nutrients while there is an excess of some nutrients like calcium, boron, potash, manganese, and iron which affects the crop.
The acidic nature of the soil also affects micro nutrients activity.
Lime should be used for the management of acidic soil.
The quantity of lime for management of acidic soil should be ensured only after soil testing.
It should be kept in mind that in the treatment of acidity, lime should always be used as a soil treatment.
Using lime reduces the amount of hydrogen present and increases the pH value of the soil.
