Bio fertilizer for Plant pathology Bsc Agriculture B.Sc. in Agriculture is a fascinating field that involves studying various aspects of agriculture, including crop production, soil science, plant breeding, agricultural economics, and more.Biofertilizers are natural substances that contain beneficial microorganisms like bacteria, fungi, or algae. These microorganisms help enhance soil fertility and plant growth by fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, and producing growth-promoting substances.They are eco-friendly and can be used as an alternative to chemical fertilizers, promoting sustainable agriculture practices. Common types of biofertilizers include Rhizobium, Azotobacter, Azospirillum, and mycorrhizal fungi.Plant pathology is the study of diseases that affect plants. It is an important branch of agricultural and environmental science that focuses on understanding the causes, mechanisms, and management of plant diseases.Plant pathologists investigate various factors, including pathogens (bacteria, fungi, viruses, nematodes, etc.), environmental conditions, and host plant interactions that lead to diseases. Their research aims to develop strategies to control and manage plant diseases, ensuring the health and productivity of crops and plants in agriculture, horticulture, and forestry.

4. Introduction
What is a biofertilizer?
Biofertilizers are the substance that
contains microorganism's living or
latent cells. Biofertilizers increase the
nutrients of host plants when applied
to their seeds, plant surface or soil by
colonizing the rhizosphere of the
plant. Biofertilizers are more cost-
effective as compared to chemical
fertilizers.
5. Importance of Biofertilizers
Biofertilizers are important for the following reasons:
Biofertilizers improve soil texture and yield of plants.
They do not allow pathogens to flourish.
They are eco-friendly and cost-effective.
Biofertilizers protect the environment from pollutants
since they are natural fertilizers.
They destroy many harmful substances present in the
soil that can cause plant diseases.
Biofertilizers are proved to be effective even under semi-
arid conditions.
7. Rhizobium: -
For all legumes Rhizobium is applied
as seed inoculant. Seedling root dip
This method is used for
transplanted crops. Two packets
of the inoculant is mixed in 40 litres
of water. The root portion of the
seedlings required for an acre is
dipped in the mixture for 5 to 10
minutes and then transplanted.
8. Preparation of Rhizobium
Material required
1. HgCl2 solution(0.01%)
2. 75% alcohol
3. Sterile petridish
4. Conical flask
5. Glass rod
6. Sampel
7. Forceps
8. Razorblade
9. Sterile water
10.Loop
11.Spirit lamp
12.Measuring cylinder
13.Gas cylinder
14.Lignite powder
9. Composition of Congored Yeast

15 ml of 1/400 aq solution
10. Procedure
Isolation and purification
1. Uproot carefully vigorously growing legume crop Prefarably at flowering And bring
the root sample with nodule in laboratory
2. East the root sample getly in tap water remove soil from it
3. Detach root nodule from it with the help of razorblade
4. Place the nodules under Petrosian with 1:1000 HgCl2 solution and agitate the
module using needle
5. Transfer the nodule topetridiah containing 75% alcohol And agitate for 2 min
6. Then sterile and collect 2-3 sample of surface sterile nodule in test tube
containing 1 ml sterile water
7. Crush the module in it
8. Add 1ml dilute exudes To a sterile petridish
11. Mother culture preparations
1. Pour PetrIdish with Solidifiable Congo red yeast
extract mannitol agar Medium 45*c Mix the nodule
exudes and Medium by rotating plates Gently
2. Allow the medium to solidify And incubate the
plates At 28*C or at room temperature for 4-5
days
3. Transfer the growth from Rhizobial Colony to the
Slants Of yeast extract mannitol agar Medium
12. CFU(colony forming unit)
Mass multiplication of rhizobium japonicum
1. 2 lit of Congo red yeast extract mannitol agar solution is prepared
2. Then the prepared solution is then filled in 250 ml conical flask
3. Then the filled conical flask ask plugged with non absorbent cotton and
wrapped with aluminium foil
4. The flask are placed in autoclave for about 40 min at 15 lbs at 121*C
5. The bacterial strain from mother culture are then transfer into congored yeast
extract mannitol agar under aseptic condition with the help of laminar air flow
6. The prepared flask are plugged with cotton and placed in incubator at 30 *C for
15 days
13. Addition of carries material
1. 4 kg of lignite powder is used as carrier material (ratio-
1:2)
2. Thus this powder is taken in a tray
3. By the help of measuring cylinder the Congo red yeast
extract mannitol solution is measure to a quantity of 1
litre
4. The measurevsolution is poured into the carries material
(lignite powder )thoroughly

14. Mass multiplication of rhizobium japonicum
Mixing of rhizobium culture into lignite powder
15. Packaging
1. Then the powder is Measure to a quantity of 500 gm
