Advantages of biofertilizers applied to berry crops

Currently, biofertilizers are an essential product for sustainable agriculture, because they help to improve the productivity of plants without causing damage to the environment, respecting the soil, nature and guaranteeing the sustainable development of agricultural activity.

Source of nutrition

Biofertilizers are organic fertilizers that provide the nutrients that plants need for their development, also optimize and improve the quality of the soil, and collaborate in obtaining an efficient and natural microbiological environment for cultivation.

Currently, biofertilizers are an essential product for sustainable agriculture, because they help to improve the productivity of plants without causing damage to the environment, respecting the soil, nature and guaranteeing the sustainable development of agricultural activity.

In simple terms, the biofertilizer originates from a bacterium or a fungus that allows plants to acquire the necessary nutrients to improve their performance, in a natural process that provides them with highly beneficial elements, mainly nitrogen and phosphorus.

It is a completely natural process, in which elements are extracted from the soil itself, which after completing its productive task, are returned to the plants and the soil itself, tracing a cycle in which no artificial element or product or product participates. harmful to nature.

Advantages of using biofertilizers

Biofertilizers, as they come from animal waste, some foods, plant remains and other natural organic sources have advantages that it is important to highlight:

  • They replace chemical fertilizers
  • They do not harm the natural environment
  • They allow the use of organic waste
  • They consume less energy for their production
  • They recover organic matter from the soil, allowing the fixation of carbon in it
  • Boost the ability to absorb water
  • They strengthen the productivity of crops
  • They improve the texture of the soil, increasing its useful life and keeping it in optimal growing conditions
  • Foods treated with biofertilizers are healthier and healthier

Analyzing the subject by experts

On the other hand, producers and agricultural companies have a common factor that is very relevant for their development on the issue of costs, because in the production process direct and indirect costs associated with the acquisition of materials, supplies, and labor must be incurred. and others that in general can be previously quantified. But there are costs that are difficult to control because they depend on climatic factors, soil, pests, diseases, fungi, water shortages and other imponderable factors.

To address the use and applications of biofertilizers in all its variants, including costs, the Doctor of Molecular Biology, Nutan Prasad Rout, will present his research at the XX International Blueberry Seminar qto be held in the Expo Guadalajara this 2 and 3 for June, developing the talk: "Low cost organic biofertilizer for berry crops".

Dr. Nutan Prasad is a member of the Center for Research and Assistance in Technology and Design of the State of Jalisco, AC (Ciatej) and a recognized international expert in molecular biology, with research in plant improvement, biostimulants, biofertilizers, application of bacteria and various topics related to modern and sustainable agricultural production.
