Nitrogen culture importance in non-leguminous crops

11/06/2020 Tuesday June 16th, 2020

Nitrogen is essential for the good production of non-leguminous crop crops like wheat, corn, cotton, vegetables, paddy, sugarcane, etc.
Naturally, some bacteria are found in the soil for nitrogen fixation, which converts airborne nitrogen into ammonia.
Azotobacter, Azospirillum, Acetobacter, or all nitrogen fixation is Bacteria. 20 to 30 kg of nitrogen can also be saved by using it.
The use of these increases the yield of crops by 10 to 20 percent and maintains the natural taste of fruits and grains.
By using them, germination is quick and healthy and the growth of roots is more and fast.
Crops can make more use of phosphorus from the land. By using such bio-fertilizers, roots and stems grow more,
The bacteria of these bio-fertilizers suppress the disease-causing microbes, thereby protecting the crops from diseases and increasing disease resistant capacity in the plants.
