Study Notes

Nutrient Transformation Process

Soil microorganisms play a crucial role in the nutrient transformation process, converting unavailable nutrients into available forms for plants.

Agricultural Microbiology

The main focus of agricultural microbiology is to understand the interactions between microorganisms and plants, aiming to improve soil fertility and plant growth.

Biofertilizers

Biofertilizers are promising alternatives to harmful chemical fertilizers because they are eco-friendly, cost-effective, and provide long-term soil fertility.
Biofertilizers colonize the rhizosphere (root zone), plant surfaces, or seeds when applied, promoting plant growth and health.

Soil Microorganisms' Role

Soil microorganisms help to solubilize and break down complex nutrients, such as phosphorus, potassium, and other minerals, making them available to plants.
