Azotobacter

Powering Soil Fertility Through Beneficial Microbes

Azotobacter

Acetobacter by PBL is a specialized formulation of beneficial nitrogen-fixing bacteria (Azotobacter sp.), available in both liquid and powder forms. This product significantly enhances nitrogen in the plant naturally, thereby reducing the dependency on synthetic fertilizers. Acetobacter promotes plant growth by producing vital growth promoters and enhancing root development. It also offers protection against various diseases, improves nutrient uptake, and enriches soil structure for superior water retention and aeration.

Description

Azotobacter is a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium that naturally enriches soil fertility. It supports crops by providing biologically fixed nitrogen and stimulating overall plant growth.

Active Ingredient: Azotobacter

CFU Count – NLT 2 x 108 cfu/gm

Azotobacter colonizes the rhizosphere and fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, making it readily available for plant use. It also produces growth-promoting substances such as indole acetic acid, gibberellins, and vitamins that enhance root growth and nutrient uptake.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQS)

What is Azotobacter biofertilizer?

Azotobacter is a free-living nitrogen-fixing biofertilizer that improves soil fertility by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a usable form for plants, helping support healthy crop growth.

How does Azotobacter improve plant growth? +

Azotobacter improves plant growth by fixing atmospheric nitrogen and producing natural growth-promoting substances like IAA, gibberellins, and vitamins, which enhance root development and nutrient uptake.

Can Azotobacter reduce chemical fertilizer use? +

Yes, Azotobacter helps reduce the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers by naturally supplying nitrogen to crops, improving nutrient efficiency and supporting sustainable farming.

Which crops are suitable for Azotobacter application? +

Azotobacter can be used in a wide range of crops including cereals, vegetables, fruits, oilseeds, sugarcane, cotton, and plantation crops, where it supports better nutrient availability and crop growth.

How is Azotobacter applied to crops? +

Azotobacter can be applied through seed treatment, seedling root dip, soil application, and sett treatment, depending on the crop and cultivation method for effective root zone colonization.

What are the benefits of Azotobacter in agriculture? +

Azotobacter improves soil fertility, root growth, nutrient uptake, and crop performance, while also helping reduce fertilizer dependence and improving overall crop productivity.
