Bio-fertilizers are the organic substances which
make use of microorganisms to increase the fertility of soil. These fertilizers
are not harmful to crops or other plants like the chemical fertilizers. They
are actually taken from the animal wastes along with the microbial mixtures.
Microorganisms are used to increase the level of nutrients in the plants. They
let the plants grow in a healthy environment. Mycorrhizal plants exhibit
greater uptake of phosphorus and trace elements when these nutrients are sparingly
soluble in soils (Powell and Bagyaraj, 1984; Abbot et al., 1992). They
can also show improved resistance to drought, environmental stress and also
fight against the root borne pathogens (Allen and Boosalis, 1983).
