Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers containing living microorganisms. Some of the common biofertilizers include rhizobium, azotobacter, azospirillum, and blue-green algae (BGA). They are applied to soil and seed, wherein the microbes colonize the rhizosphere of the plant to increase the supply of primary nutrients. Along with this, they employ natural processes of nitrogen fixation, solubilizing phosphorus, and growth-promoting substances, which, in turn, stimulates plant growth. As compared to chemical fertilizers, biofertilizers restore the natural nutrient cycle of the soil, build organic matter, and enhance the sustainability and health of the soil. Apart from this, they are eco-friendly and cost-effective, due to which they are extensively used in organic farming practices.

India Biofertilizer Market Trends:

One of the major factors driving the India biofertilizers market growth is the increasing health awareness and rising environmental concerns. Chemical fertilizers can enter the food chain, damage the fertility of the soil, and spread hazardous diseases, which has prompted farmers to shift toward their bio alternatives. Other than this, the escalating demand for organic food products has resulted in the widespread adoption of organic-based farming techniques, which is fueling the market growth. Additionally, due to the rising population, the Government of India (GoI) is undertaking several initiatives for improving the food cultivation methods to meet the increasing food demand, which, in turn, is strengthening the market growth across the country.
