PRODUCTION AND APPLICATION AREAS OF BACTERIAL FERTILIZERS

Bacterial fertilizers are environmentally safe biological products used in agriculture to improve soil fertility and increase crop productivity. They contain beneficial microorganisms capable of fixing atmospheric nitrogen and enhancing the uptake of nutrients by plants. The production of bacterial fertilizers involves the selection of highly active bacterial strains, their cultivation, and formulation with suitable carrier materials. These preparations are applied through seed treatment, soil inoculation, and during the vegetation period to stimulate plant growth. Bacterial products such as Nitragin, Azotobacterin, and Azospirillin increase the biological activity of soils, reduce the demand for mineral fertilizers, and contribute to the production of environmentally friendly agricultural products. Therefore, bacterial fertilizers are considered one of the important directions of modern agrobiotechnology, ensuring sustainable agricultural development.
