Unleashing the Potential of Probiotics in Agricultural World

Man has been involved in agricultural production since evolution. It was the sole source of food back then and has continued to be so till today. Agriculture is the need for human existence and to satisfy the hunger of the billions and billions of people across the globe the agricultural techniques need to evolve and modernize. Therefore there is an increasing fascination towards biological products for agriculture that will yield a greater and better harvest. The scientists have been performing various experiments so that better seeds and methods of enhancing agricultural production can be achieved.

Use of Probiotics in Agriculture

The global population is expected to touch the number of 9.7 billion by 2050, according to data published by the United Nations. So, it will definitely pose a challenge to feed all those hungry mouths. Nonetheless, the current methods of agriculture are not sufficient enough to meet the requirements of the world’s population in the coming years. In order to meet this nutritional demand in the future, it is must to increase production at least by 70 percent. This is the rough estimate according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the United Nations. There is a need for biological products for agriculture.

The use of beneficial bacteria tends to help plants withstand adverse conditions like drought and environmental stress. The use of decomposing culture in agricultural land can also help plants grow drastically increase productivity by trapping important nutrients, such as nitrogen. Beneficial Bacteria present in the soil and on the plant’s side to help fix the nitrogen to give better access to the nutrient.

Types of Probiotics used in Agriculture

Organic larvicide is one type of probiotic insecticides that are considered to be effective against the larval stage of insects and is meant to eliminate immature mosquitoes or larvae before they mature into adult mosquitoes and destroy the crop. Organic larvicide proves to be effective against the eradication of several breeds of bollworms, larvae, rootworms, etc. They even can be used in addition to other pesticides and sometimes also used as soil conditioning agents.

Decomposing Culture is the combination of certain Actinomycetes Fungi, some yeast and bacterial species that are used to speed up the process of decomposition of organic litter like figs and leaves. The faster decomposition not only helps in the easy release of organic substance but also clears up the agricultural plot retaining the soil nitrogen.

Organic flower booster is a type of manure used for flower pots and nurseries. As its name suggests it helps in maintaining a perfect balance of nutrients, fresh air into the soil which ultimately enhances the flowering in the plant.
