Consortia is a combination of more than one microorganism that, being in the rhizosphere, directly or indirectly influences the composition and productivity of natural plant communities. Consortia, also known as Bio NPK (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium), are a combination of multiple beneficial microorganisms that work together to provide a comprehensive nutrient management solution for plants. These consortia consist of different strains of bacteria, fungi, and other beneficial microbes.
Each microorganism plays a unique role in fixing nitrogen, solubilizing phosphorus, and mobilizing potassium, thereby promoting the availability and uptake of these vital nutrients by plants. By utilizing Bio NPK consortia, farmers can optimize nutrient utilization, improve soil fertility, enhance crop growth and yield, and reduce their reliance on chemical fertilizers, thereby promoting sustainable and environmentally friendly agricultural practices. Bio NPK is a combination of Azotobacter, Phosphate Solubilizing Bacteria, and Potash Mobilizing Bacteria; combined they give a wholesome nutritional solution for the crop.
