Significance <strong>of</strong> the present study<br />

N fixers, P solubilizers and K mobilizers are the most beneficial soil<br />

microorganisms for use <strong>as</strong> bi<strong>of</strong>ertilizers in agriculture<br />

The main objective <strong>of</strong> using bi<strong>of</strong>ertilizers is to reduce fertilizer<br />

quantity there by reduce the cost <strong>of</strong> production and an eco-friendly<br />

practice<br />

Exploitation <strong>of</strong> agro-biodiversity for identifying useful<br />

microorganisms for nutrient management <strong>as</strong> well <strong>as</strong> biocontrol is a<br />

thrust area in the present day agriculture to substitute for chemical<br />

<strong>fertilizers</strong> and pesticides and to maintain soil health<br />

Objective<br />

To screen, isolate, identify and characterize potent N fixers and P<br />

solubilizers from the biodiversity hot spots <strong>of</strong> Western ghats <strong>of</strong><br />

Kerala and to agronomically evaluate their efficacy <strong>as</strong> a substitute to<br />

chemical <strong>fertilizers</strong> in sweet potato to enhance growth and yield
