By nitrogen fixation, phosphate and potassium solubilization or mineralization, release of plant growth regulating chemicals, creation of antibiotics, and biodegradation of organic materials in the soil, biofertilizers keep the soil environment rich in all kinds of macro and micro nutrients. When administered as seed or soil inoculants, biofertilizers proliferate and participate in nutrient cycle, resulting in increased crop productivity. In general, 60 percent to 90 percent of the fertiliser applied is wasted, with the remaining 10 percent to 40% taken up by plants. As a result, biofertilizers can be an important part of integrated nutrient management systems for agricultural production and environmental health.
