What is a Biofertilizers ?
 Biofertilizers are defined as preparations containing living
cells or latent cells of efficient strains of microorganisms that
help crop plants’ uptake of nutrients by their interactions in
the rhizosphere when applied through seed or soil.
 They accelerate certain microbial processes in the soil which
augment the extent of availability of nutrients in a form easily
assimilated by plants

Benefits of Liquid Biofertilizers
The advantages of Liquid Bio-fertilizer over conventional carrier
based Bio-fertilizers are listed below:
• Longer shelf life of 12-24 months.
• No loss of properties due to storage up to 45 degree Celsius.
• Greater potentials to fight with native population.
• High populations can be maintained more than 109 cells/ml up to 12
months to 24 months.
• Cost saving on carrier material, pulverization, neutralization,
sterilization, packing and transport.
• Quality control protocols are easy and quick.
• No need of running Bio-fertilizer production units throughout the
year.
• Very much easy to use by the farmer.
• Dosages is 10 time less than carrier based powder Bio-fertilizers.
• High export potential.
• Very high enzymatic activity since contamination is nil.
Mass production of Bacterial Biofertilizer
The mass production of carrier based bacterial
biofertilizers involves three stages.
1. Culturing of microorganisms
2. Processing of carrier material
3. Mixing the carrier and the broth culture and
packing
Equipments required
1. Autoclave
2. Laminar air flow
3. Rotary shaker
4. pH meter
5. Refrigirator
6. Fermentor
Culturing of Microorganisms
Although many bacteria can be used beneficially as a biofertilizer the
technique of mass production is standardized for Rhizobium, Azospirillum,
Azotobacter and phosphobacteria.
 The media used for mass culturing are as follows:
 Rhizobium : Yeast extract mannitol broth.
 Growth on Congo red yeast extract mannitol agar medium
1. Mannitol: 10.0 g
2. K2 HPO4: 0.5 g
3. MgSO47HH2O (Epsom salt) : 0.2 g
4. NaCl: 0.1 g
5. Yeast extract : 0.5 g
6. Agar: 20.0 g
7. Distilled water : 1000.0 ml
• Add 10 ml of Congo red stock solution (dissolve 250
mg of Congo red in 100ml water) to 1 liter after
adjusting the pH to 6.8 and before adding agar.
• Rhizobium forms white, translucent, glistening,
elevated and comparatively small colonies on this
medium. Moreover, Rhizobium colonies do not take up
the colour of congo red dye added in the medium.
Those colonies which readily take up the congo red
stain are not rhizobia but presumably Agrobacterium,
a soil bacterium closely related to Rhizobium.
Inoculum preparation
 Prepare a media for specific to the bacterial inoculant in 250 ml, 500 ml, 3 litre and 5 litre
conical flasks and sterilize.
 The media in 250 ml flask is inoculated with efficient bacterial strain under aseptic
condition
 Keep the flask under room temperature in rotary shaker (200 rpm) for 5- 7 days.
 Observe the flask for growth of the culture and estimate the population, which serves as
the starter culture.
 Using the starter culture (at log phase) inoculate the larger flasks (500 ml, 3 litre and 5
litre) containing the media, after obtaining growth in each flask.
 The above media is prepared in large quantities in fermentor, sterilized well, cooled and
kept it ready.
 The media in the fermentor is inoculated with the log phase culture grown in 5 litre flask.
Usually 1 -2 % inoculum is sufficient, however inoculation is done up to 5% depending on
the growth of the culture in the larger flasks.
 The cells are grown in fermentor by providing aeration and given continuous stirring.
 There should not be any fungal or any other bacterial contamination at 10-6 dilution level
 It is not advisable to store the broth after fermentation for periods longer than 24 hours.
Even at 4 degree Celsius number of viable cells begins to decrease.
Preparation of carrier material
• The carrier material (peat or lignite) is powdered to a fine powder
so as to pass through 212 micron sieve.
• The pH of the carrier material is neutralized with the help of
calcium carbonate (1:10 ratio) , since the peat soil / lignite are
acidic in nature ( pH: 4 - 5)
• The neutralized carrier material is sterilized in an autoclave to
eliminate the contaminants.
Vermiculite
Coco peat
Preparation of Inoculants packet
The neutralized, sterilized carrier material is spread in a
clean, dry, sterile metallic or plastic tray.
The bacterial culture drawn from the fermentor is added
to the sterilized carrier and mixed well by manual (by
wearing sterile gloves) or by mechanical mixer. The
culture suspension is to be added to a level of 40 – 50%
water holding capacity depending upon the population.
The inoculant packet of 200 g quantities in polythene
bags, sealed with electric sealer and allowed for curing for
2 -3 days at room temperature ( curing can be done by
spreading the inoculant on a clean floor/polythene sheet/
by keeping in open shallow trays with polythene covering
for 2 -3 days at room temperature before packaging
Phophobacteria Azotobacter
Rhizobium Azospirillum
Prospect and challenges of Biofertilizers in hill
ecosystem of India
• The innovative view of sustainable farm production attracts the growing
demand of biological based agro-inputs including biofertilizers as an
alternative to agro-chemicals to improve nutrient supply and conserve
the field fertility.
• Major stated that practice crop husbandry under hill ecosystem of
Himalayan region of India are namely, Jammu, Kashmir, Himachal
Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur,
Mizoram, and Tripura, as well as the hill region of Assam and West
Bengal.
• Difficult terrain and inadequate infrastructure, fragility, inaccessibility
and marginal societies, lack of irrigation, severe top soil erosion, and
overall external inputs to the system are prominent characters of hill
ecosystem.
• Low organic matter, reduced pH, soil moisture status and colder
conditions effectively influence crop production in hills. Application of
various chemicals for increasing farm produce is largely uneconomical
and does not fit within the framework of “organic farming” adopted by
various hill states of India.
• Extreme climate and edaphic conditions are common, and the microbial
diversity of such areas is of particular interest because of the super
adaptability of the native microbes. The cold and acid adapted
microorganisms possess various plant growth promotional abilities that
can be exploited for increased plant production especially in the
Himalayan region. However, information generated on cold and acid
tolerant microbes so far is meagre. In fact, the major aim to explore the
microbial communities from the cold regions has been to select suitable
microbial inoculants for use in hill agro-ecosystem.
• The extremities of temperature during the winter (rabi-season) and high
acidic soil conditions are deleterious for the survival and functioning of
the introduced mesophilic microorganism, being isolated from low acid
or near neutral pH soils. Frequent limitations in root colonization
synchronized by reduced crop yield by non-native introduced bacterial
strains have been reported. As a result, the selection and use of
beneficial microorganism should be undertaken keeping the adaptation
capability of the inoculants to a particular ecosystem.

  • 1. Biofertilizers, mass prodcution of bacterial biofertilizers and prospects & challenges of biofertilizers in Hill region of India Presented by Bablu Hrangkhawl CAU/CPGS/B17/02 College of Agriculture, Kyrdemkulai
  • 2. What is a Biofertilizers ?  Biofertilizers are defined as preparations containing living cells or latent cells of efficient strains of microorganisms that help crop plants’ uptake of nutrients by their interactions in the rhizosphere when applied through seed or soil.  They accelerate certain microbial processes in the soil which augment the extent of availability of nutrients in a form easily assimilated by plants

  • 6. Benefits of Liquid Biofertilizers The advantages of Liquid Bio-fertilizer over conventional carrier based Bio-fertilizers are listed below: • Longer shelf life of 12-24 months. • No loss of properties due to storage up to 45 degree Celsius. • Greater potentials to fight with native population. • High populations can be maintained more than 109 cells/ml up to 12 months to 24 months. • Cost saving on carrier material, pulverization, neutralization, sterilization, packing and transport. • Quality control protocols are easy and quick. • No need of running Bio-fertilizer production units throughout the year. • Very much easy to use by the farmer. • Dosages is 10 time less than carrier based powder Bio-fertilizers. • High export potential. • Very high enzymatic activity since contamination is nil.
  • 7. Mass production of Bacterial Biofertilizer The mass production of carrier based bacterial biofertilizers involves three stages. 1. Culturing of microorganisms 2. Processing of carrier material 3. Mixing the carrier and the broth culture and packing
  • 8. Equipments required 1. Autoclave 2. Laminar air flow 3. Rotary shaker 4. pH meter 5. Refrigirator 6. Fermentor
  • 9. Culturing of Microorganisms Although many bacteria can be used beneficially as a biofertilizer the technique of mass production is standardized for Rhizobium, Azospirillum, Azotobacter and phosphobacteria.  The media used for mass culturing are as follows:  Rhizobium : Yeast extract mannitol broth.  Growth on Congo red yeast extract mannitol agar medium 1. Mannitol: 10.0 g 2. K2 HPO4: 0.5 g 3. MgSO47HH2O (Epsom salt) : 0.2 g 4. NaCl: 0.1 g 5. Yeast extract : 0.5 g 6. Agar: 20.0 g 7. Distilled water : 1000.0 ml
  • 10. • Add 10 ml of Congo red stock solution (dissolve 250 mg of Congo red in 100ml water) to 1 liter after adjusting the pH to 6.8 and before adding agar. • Rhizobium forms white, translucent, glistening, elevated and comparatively small colonies on this medium. Moreover, Rhizobium colonies do not take up the colour of congo red dye added in the medium. Those colonies which readily take up the congo red stain are not rhizobia but presumably Agrobacterium, a soil bacterium closely related to Rhizobium.
  • 11. Inoculum preparation  Prepare a media for specific to the bacterial inoculant in 250 ml, 500 ml, 3 litre and 5 litre conical flasks and sterilize.  The media in 250 ml flask is inoculated with efficient bacterial strain under aseptic condition  Keep the flask under room temperature in rotary shaker (200 rpm) for 5- 7 days.  Observe the flask for growth of the culture and estimate the population, which serves as the starter culture.  Using the starter culture (at log phase) inoculate the larger flasks (500 ml, 3 litre and 5 litre) containing the media, after obtaining growth in each flask.  The above media is prepared in large quantities in fermentor, sterilized well, cooled and kept it ready.  The media in the fermentor is inoculated with the log phase culture grown in 5 litre flask. Usually 1 -2 % inoculum is sufficient, however inoculation is done up to 5% depending on the growth of the culture in the larger flasks.  The cells are grown in fermentor by providing aeration and given continuous stirring.  There should not be any fungal or any other bacterial contamination at 10-6 dilution level  It is not advisable to store the broth after fermentation for periods longer than 24 hours. Even at 4 degree Celsius number of viable cells begins to decrease.
  • 12. Preparation of carrier material • The carrier material (peat or lignite) is powdered to a fine powder so as to pass through 212 micron sieve. • The pH of the carrier material is neutralized with the help of calcium carbonate (1:10 ratio) , since the peat soil / lignite are acidic in nature ( pH: 4 - 5) • The neutralized carrier material is sterilized in an autoclave to eliminate the contaminants. Vermiculite Coco peat
  • 13. Preparation of Inoculants packet The neutralized, sterilized carrier material is spread in a clean, dry, sterile metallic or plastic tray. The bacterial culture drawn from the fermentor is added to the sterilized carrier and mixed well by manual (by wearing sterile gloves) or by mechanical mixer. The culture suspension is to be added to a level of 40 – 50% water holding capacity depending upon the population. The inoculant packet of 200 g quantities in polythene bags, sealed with electric sealer and allowed for curing for 2 -3 days at room temperature ( curing can be done by spreading the inoculant on a clean floor/polythene sheet/ by keeping in open shallow trays with polythene covering for 2 -3 days at room temperature before packaging
  • 15. Prospect and challenges of Biofertilizers in hill ecosystem of India • The innovative view of sustainable farm production attracts the growing demand of biological based agro-inputs including biofertilizers as an alternative to agro-chemicals to improve nutrient supply and conserve the field fertility. • Major stated that practice crop husbandry under hill ecosystem of Himalayan region of India are namely, Jammu, Kashmir, Himachal Pradesh, Uttarakhand, Sikkim, Arunachal Pradesh, Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, and Tripura, as well as the hill region of Assam and West Bengal. • Difficult terrain and inadequate infrastructure, fragility, inaccessibility and marginal societies, lack of irrigation, severe top soil erosion, and overall external inputs to the system are prominent characters of hill ecosystem. • Low organic matter, reduced pH, soil moisture status and colder conditions effectively influence crop production in hills. Application of various chemicals for increasing farm produce is largely uneconomical and does not fit within the framework of “organic farming” adopted by various hill states of India.
  • 16. • Extreme climate and edaphic conditions are common, and the microbial diversity of such areas is of particular interest because of the super adaptability of the native microbes. The cold and acid adapted microorganisms possess various plant growth promotional abilities that can be exploited for increased plant production especially in the Himalayan region. However, information generated on cold and acid tolerant microbes so far is meagre. In fact, the major aim to explore the microbial communities from the cold regions has been to select suitable microbial inoculants for use in hill agro-ecosystem. • The extremities of temperature during the winter (rabi-season) and high acidic soil conditions are deleterious for the survival and functioning of the introduced mesophilic microorganism, being isolated from low acid or near neutral pH soils. Frequent limitations in root colonization synchronized by reduced crop yield by non-native introduced bacterial strains have been reported. As a result, the selection and use of beneficial microorganism should be undertaken keeping the adaptation capability of the inoculants to a particular ecosystem.
