Synopsis

Biofertilizers: Cultures of soil microorganisms improve soil and plant fertility. They include helpful microbes that transform insoluble phosphates into soluble forms, hence increasing nutritional availability. Ethylene from Paenibacillus polymyxa inhibits the growth of dicot plants. Choosing active microorganisms, isolating target bacteria, propagation technique, carrier material, phenotypic testing, and large-scale trials are the steps involved in producing biofertilizer. Rhizobia strains promote plant growth, yield, and soil fertility. Shatavari has dual uses as a biopesticide and a biofertilizer. 

Biopesticides: Made from living things, such as microbes, plants, and animals. Plant extracts, microbial metabolites, and minerals are examples of active substances that are naturally derived. Phytochemicals such as acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, glycosides, saponins, and terpenoids are found in botanical biopesticides. Shatavari root extracts are highly efficient in aqueous and ethanol forms, demonstrating antibacterial activity against a variety of pathogens.
