which it is to be performed.
AN ULTRA-HIGH INOCULUM POTENTIAL MYCORRHIZAL BIOFERTILIZER AND PROCESS OF PREPARATION THEREOF
FIELD OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to the field of compositions and methods for the developing of biofertilizers that are of organic origin. More particularly, the present invention relates to an ultra-high inoculum potential mycorrhizal biofertilizer. The present invention, thus relates to an ultra-high inoculum potential mycorrhizal biofertilizer, wherein the biofertilizer comprises of mycorrhizal fungi, a combination of carrier, a combination of nutrient additives, protective coating agents, moisture retainers and a solvent.
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
From a last few decades it has been witnessed a large amount of activity in the general field of fertilizers and biofertilizers in particular have attracted special attention, primarily on account of them having been derived from natural sources and having an essentially biological origin and their possible exploitation in the numerous fields.
It is very well known that agriculture is the practice of cultivating land to grow crops or raising various livestocks. Agriculture is a key factor showing development of human civilization. As the human population is increasing the need for agricultural product is also increasing. Increasing global population necessitates a corresponding increase in the food production through agricultural intensification and expansion. Increased need for food production has increased the use of fertilizers, pesticides and insecticides to get an increased food production. But, some products are harmful for the soil and the land. Thus, there is a need for products that are less harmful to the soil and land.
Biofertilizers are natural fertilizers that contain living microorganisms, which enhance the nutrient availability and uptake for plants by colonizing the rhizosphere or the interior of the plant. They generally include bacteria, fungi and algae that improves soil fertility. Biofertilizers reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, promoting sustainable agriculture.
Mycorrhiza is a mutually benefical relationship between a green plant and a fungus. The green plant produces organic compounds like sugars through photosynthesis and provides them to the fungus, while the fungus supplies the green plant with water and essential mineral nutrients, such as phosphorous, extracted from the soil.
Mychorrizal biofertilizers are generally products that comprises of mycorrhizal fungi that forms a symbiotic relationships with plant roots, that enhances nutrients and water absorption in particularity absorption of phosphorous. This symbiotic relationship and association promotes growth of plant, improves and maintains soil fertility and is a sustainable approach to agriculture, reducing the need for chemical fertilizer.
Current mycorrhizal biofertilizers typically contain up to 10,000 inoculum potential (IP) per gram commercial products like DYNOMYCO offering 900 IP/g and research-based formulations exceeding 10,000 IP/g. High-IP Mychorrizal biofertilizers production by Root Organ Culture method, optimizing environmental conditions for better spore density and viability. Regulatory standards, such as in the Philippines (PNS/BAFS 183:2020), require 2,300 IP/g for root-based inoculants.
WO2013098829 document discloses a mycorrhizae based biofertilizer compositions, wherein the said fungus is from Glomus, Gigaspora and Scutellospora genera, in the form of a pre-maintained starter culture. These are then subjected to subculturing followed by incubation for attaining the desired growth. At the designated point when the desired growth has been achieved, the procedure for harvesting is put into effect. The harvested cultures are then subjected to sieving and air drying followed by blending to generate the various conceivable combinations for blended inoculum. This product and process is completely different from the present invention.
The available mycorrhizal biofertilizers generally lack of high inoculum potential, that results in less effective colonization of mycorrhizal inoculant with plant roots that reduces the plant growth, decreases the quality of soil and land. Thus, there is a constant need of developing an ultra-high inoculum potential biofertilizers that are beneficial for the plant and as well as soil and land.
The present invention is directed toward overcoming one or more of the problems discussed above.
