Azospirillum Lipoferum

We offer Our biofertilizer product is Azospirillum Lipoferum (spirillum lipoferum in earlier literature) are primary inhabitants of soil, the rhizosphere and intercellular spaces of root cortex of graminaceous plants. They perform the associative symbiotic relation with the graminaceous plants. The genus azospirillum comprises free-living, nitrogen-fixing bacteria that are known as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr), which can colonize, by adhesion, the root surface or the intercellular spaces of the host plant roots. The potential role of the pgpr in association with economically important cereals and other grasses is to promote plant growth by several mechanisms including nitrogen fixation and phytohormone production. Several species of azospirillum are able to secrete phytohormones such as auxins, gibberellins, cytokinins, and nitric oxide as signals of plant growth promotion physical features of liquid azospirillum · the colour of the liquid may be blue or dull white. · bad odours confirm improper liquid formulation and may be concluded as mere broth. · production of yellow gummy colour materials confirms the quality product. · acidic ph always confirms that there is no azospirillum bacteria in the liquid. · n2 fixing capacity of azospirillum in the roots of several plants and the amount of n2 fixed by them. Advantages: · azospirillum, an associate nitrogen fixer, fixes atmospheric nitrogen on the root surface, which is taken up by the plants. · besides, it secretes growth hormones, which enhance root development. · it also produces growth-promoting substances like indole acetic acid (iaa), gibberellins, pantothenic acid, thiamine and niacin and it promotes root proliferation and it improve the plant growth yield.
