Development of biofertilizer from sugar industry organic waste

The present study was conducted for development of biofertilizer from soil rhizospheric microorganisms in organic waste as carrier material and its application in agriculture development. the bacteria were isolated from rice rhizosphere from nibge field experiments. some of the isolates of sunflower were collected from bircen culture collection. the morphological characteristics of the isolates were studied. the bacteria were also characterized for their biochemical characteristics regarding nitrogen fixation,phosphate solubilization and indole acetic acid (iaa) production. these isolates were used for biofertilizer production. press mud from sugar industry was used as a carrier material to carry these inoculums. the carrier material was ground to a fine powder of 100 mesh size and weighted quantity of mud was packed in polythene bags. then appropriate amount of approximately 5% the inoculum was injected to the packed polythene bags through injectors. the inoculated polythene bags were mixed by mixer and were sealed through electric sealer. the prepared polythene bags of biofertilizer were stored at cool and dry place away from sunlight,as these inoculum polythene bags may be damaged at higher temperature.
