Pseudomonas

StarStarStarStar

Biocontrol against root and seed pathogens, promotes plant growth, and can solubilize minerals like phosphates.

StarStarStarStar

Potash Mobilizing Bacteria

StarStarStarStar

Mobilizes insoluble potash in the soil, making it available to plants, enhancing growth and yield.

StarStarStarStar

Azotobacter

StarStarStarStar

Fixes nitrogen in the soil, enhances soil nutrient content, and can also produce natural growth-promoting substances.

StarStarStarStar

Silicate Solubilizing Bacteria

StarStarStarStar

Dissolves silicates in the soil, releasing nutrients, particularly potassium, and can also help in controlling soil pathogens.

StarStarStarStar

Mycorrhizae

StarStarStarStar

Enhances nutrient and water absorption, increases resistance to pathogens, and improves soil structure.

StarStarStarStar

Saccharomyces cerevisiae

StarStarStarStar

Used as a biofertilizer, it can increase soil nutrient content and has shown to stimulate plant growth.

StarStarStarStar

Trichoderma

StarStarStarStar

Biocontrol agent against various plant pathogens, promotes plant growth, and enhances nutrient uptake.

StarStarStarStar

Beauveria bassiana

StarStarStarStar

Entomopathogenic fungus used as a biological pesticide against a wide range of insect pests.

StarStarStarStar

Rhizobium

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen fixation in legumes, leading to improved soil fertility and reduced need for chemical fertilizers.

StarStarStarStar

Sulfur Oxidizing Bacteria

StarStarStarStar

Oxidizes sulfur to sulfates, which are essential to plant nutrition, aiding in protein synthesis and enzyme activation.

StarStarStarStar

Bacillus thuringiensis (Bt)

StarStarStarStar

Used as a microbial insecticide, it produces toxins that are harmful to certain insects but safe for plants and animals.

StarStarStarStar

Azospirillum

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen fixation, growth promotion through phytohormones, and can help plants in stress environments.

StarStarStarStar

Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria (PSB)

StarStarStarStar

Solubilizes insoluble phosphate, making it accessible to plants, which can lead to increased yield.

StarStarStarStar

Blue-green Algae (Cyanobacteria)

StarStarStarStar

Contributes to nitrogen fixation, rebuilds soil organic content, and helps in reclaiming saline-alkali soils.

StarStarStarStar

Nitrogen-Fixing Cyanobacteria

StarStarStarStar

Particularly important for paddy fields, fixes atmospheric nitrogen and contributes to soil fertility.
