🔬Boosting Seed Vigour Using Azotobacter 🚀 During my recent laboratory practicals, I successfully isolated Azotobacter from a soil sample and observed its impact on seed germination. Seeds treated with Azotobacter showed a dramatic increase in seed vigour, with seedlings displaying nearly double the length compared to untreated controls Why is this important? Azotobacter is a free-living nitrogen-fixing bacterium that enriches the soil and boosts plant growth naturally. Its application not only improves seed germination rates but also supports sustainable agriculture by reducing dependency on chemical fertilizers. Key Takeaways: 1) Encourages rapid and robust seedling development 2) Promotes eco-friendly, sustainable farming practices 3) Highlights the vital role of beneficial soil microbes in crop productivity Reflecting on the Experience: Stepping into the world of beneficial soil microbes has shown me that innovation starts with curiosity and hands-on exploration. The eco-friendly promise of Azotobacter doesn’t just represent improved seedling growth, but a vision for sustainable farming where nature itself leads the way. Grateful for this hands-on learning opportunity and excited to contribute to innovative solutions in agri-biotechnology! 🌱🔬
