The liquid Bio fertilizers are suspensions having agriculturally useful microorganisms, which fix atmospheric nitrogen and solubilise insoluble phosphates and make it available for the plants. The use of this Bio fertilizer is environment friendly and gives uniform results for most of the agricultural crops and directly reduces the use of chemical fertilizer by 15 to 40%. The shelf life of the liquid bio fertiliser is higher (in the range of one to two years) compared to that of solid matrix base biofertiliszer. M/s Kumar Krishi Mitra Bio Products Ltd., Pune, has already commenced production. There is a growing demand for organic foods in the global market. The use of these liquid bio-fertilisers would help the Indian farmers to produce organic crops so as to compete in the global market.
