NitrO- Nitrogen fixing bacteria
Imagine a world where plants struggle to grow, food becomes scarce, and ecosystems crumble. This reality could be near if not for the unsung heroes: nitrogen-fixing bacteria. These microscopic marvels hold the key to unlocking atmospheric nitrogen, the abundant yet inert gas that makes up 78% of the air we breathe. Despite its abundance, plants can't directly use it. Enter these tiny titans, who possess a unique ability to convert this air-bound nitrogen into usable forms like ammonia, nourishing plants and fueling life on Earth.
PhoSphO- phosphorus solubilizing bacteria
Imagine microscopic heroes working tirelessly underground, unlocking essential nutrients for plants. Enter phosphorus solubilizing bacteria (PSB)! These beneficial microbes are like tiny alchemists, transforming locked-up phosphorus (P) in soil into a form plants can readily absorb.
Why is this important? P is vital for plant growth, but it often gets trapped in insoluble forms unavailable to plants. PSB come to the rescue!
PotA- Potash mobilizing bacteria
Imagine microscopic champions, living in the soil, wielding the power to release a vital nutrient for plants. These are potash-mobilizing bacteria (KMB), tiny allies in the world of agriculture. While potassium (potash) is abundant in soil, much of it is locked away, unavailable for plant uptake. Enter KMB, with their arsenal of natural tools. From increasing crop yields to fostering healthier ecosystems, these tiny warriors are playing an increasingly important role in sustainable agriculture. So, the next time you see a thriving plant, remember the invisible heroes beneath the surface, diligently unlocking the power of potassium.
