BGA Bio Fertilizer is a revolutionary product that harnesses the power of Blue-Green Algae (BGA) to transform agricultural practices and promote sustainable farming methods. BGA, also known as cyanobacteria, is a group of photosynthetic microorganisms that play a vital role in aquatic and terrestrial ecosystems. With their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and produce organic compounds, BGA are natural contributors to soil fertility and plant growth.
Our BGA Bio Fertilizer is a carefully crafted blend of BGA strains, along with other beneficial microorganisms, vitamins, and enzymes. This unique formulation is designed to enhance soil health and promote robust plant growth while minimizing environmental impact. By harnessing the natural abilities of BGA, our bio fertilizer offers a sustainable alternative to traditional chemical fertilizers, which can degrade soil quality and harm ecosystems.
One of the key benefits of BGA Bio Fertilizer is its ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can readily use. Nitrogen is an essential nutrient for plant growth, and by harnessing BGA's nitrogen-fixing abilities, our bio fertilizer helps reduce the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers, which can contribute to pollution and greenhouse gas emissions.
In addition to nitrogen fixation, BGA Bio Fertilizer also improves soil structure and fertility through the secretion of organic compounds and enzymes. These compounds help break down organic matter, making nutrients more available to plants and improving soil water retention. By enhancing soil fertility and structure, our bio fertilizer creates an optimal environment for plant root growth and nutrient uptake.
Furthermore, BGA Bio Fertilizer promotes a symbiotic relationship between plants and soil microorganisms. The beneficial microorganisms in our formulation form a mutually beneficial relationship with plant roots, known as mycorrhizae, which enhances nutrient uptake and plant resilience to environmental stressors.
By incorporating BGA Bio Fertilizer into their agricultural practices, farmers can experience numerous benefits. Increased crop yields, improved soil health, and reduced dependency on synthetic fertilizers are just a few of the advantages that our bio fertilizer offers. Moreover, by promoting sustainable farming methods, BGA Bio Fertilizer contributes to environmental conservation efforts and helps build resilient agricultural systems for future generations.
In conclusion, BGA Bio Fertilizer represents a groundbreaking innovation in sustainable agriculture. By harnessing the power of Blue-Green Algae and other beneficial microorganisms, our bio fertilizer offers a natural, effective, and environmentally friendly solution for enhancing soil fertility and promoting healthy plant growth.
2. This is another important class of bio
fertilizer.
The Blue-green algae are small organisms
and can be seen under the microscope as a
single cell or large accumulation of cells
(colonies) or strings of cells (trachoma's)
Blue green algae are also known by different
nomenclature such as, cyanophytes,
cyanobacteria and most recently
cyanprokaryotes.
3. They are the photosynthetic bacteria and some of
them are able to fix atmospheric nitrogen.
They can be divided into two major groups based
on growth habit. a) Unicellular forms and b)
Filamentous forms.
N2 fixing species are from both groups, found in
paddy fields, but the predominant ones are the
heterocyst us filamentous forms.
4. Nostoc, Cylindrospermum, Tolypothrix, Calothrix,
Scytonema, Westiellopsis belonging to orders
Nostocales and Stignematales are capable of
nitrogen fixation.
Cyanobacteria is considered as potential bio
fertilizer for reclamation of extreme, arid
environments. These are known to increase soil
nitrogen content very efficiently. In the cultivation
of rice, cyanobacterial N2 fixation (mainly through
Nostoc and Anabaena) is essential.
5. Production Methods for BGA:
The pure culture of BGA are transferred to culture flask having
Fogg’s medium for growth and provided sufficient light. Now this
algal culture is used as a starter culture to initiate the mass
culture of BGA.
In general, there are three methods of algal production that
have been reported viz,:
(a) Trough or tank method,
(b) Pit method,
(c) Field method
11. Methods of Application of BGA Bio fertilizer:
1. One packet (500 g) of ready to use BGA bio fertilizer
is mixed with 4 kg dried and sieved farm soil in rice
growing area
2. The above BGA bio fertilizer is broadcasted to
standing water in rice field 3 to 6 days after
transplanting rice seedlings.
3. The field should be kept waterlogged for about 10-12
days after inoculation to allow good growth of BGA.
4. Avoid using chemical nitrogen fertilizer, if necessary
add a very low dose and that too only after a gap of 3-4
days.
5. Apply BGA for at least four consecutive seasons to
have cumulative effect
