BioNFix®-AL
Azospirillum Lipoferum BNL714
BioNFix®-AL is a biofertiliser based on a selected strain of the naturally occurring beneficial bacterium Azospirillum lipoferum BNL714. A. lipoferum is a gram-negative bacterium that can fix up to 50 kg/ha of atmospheric nitrogen. This product can used as seed dressing and soil inoculant. A. lipoferum can establish an associative symbiosis with cereals. A. lipoferum benefits the plant directly by nitrogen fixation, as well as through the synthesis of phytohormones.
Benefits
- Fixes up to 50 kg/ha of nitrogen from the atmosphere, improving plant and soil health.
- BioNFix®-AL has plant growth-promoting properties (PGPR).
- Increases beneficial microbes and enriches soil organic content through organic acid secretion by the bacteria.
- Supports Integrated Nutrient Management (INM), reducing the need for chemical fertilizers and promoting environmental safety
How does it work
Nitrogen cannot be absorbed by plants alone, due to the strong triple bonds between the nitrogen atoms making it inert and therefore not directly usable by plants. Azospirillum lipoferum converts molecular nitrogen into nitrogenous compounds that can be consumed by plants. Nitrogen fixation was the first mechanism proposed to explain improved plant growth following inoculation with Azospirillum lipoferum. This was mainly because of an increase in the number of nitrogenous compounds and the nitrogenase activity in inoculated plants. Nitrite, either added directly or excreted by Azospirillum lipoferum in nitrate respiration, similarly causes a sharp increase in the formation of lateral roots.

FAQs
A: BioNfix®-AL is a biofertiliser based on the naturally occurring beneficial diazotrophic bacterium, Azospirillum lipoferum BNL714.
A: Azospirillum lipoferum BNL714 fixes atmospheric nitrogen into ammonia, which is a plant-available form of nitrogen. This helps in improving soil fertility and promoting plant growth.
- BioNfix®-AL effectively fixes up to 50 kg/ha Nitrogen, which improves both plant and soil health and helps in soil remediation.
- BioNfix®-AL has plant growth promoting properties (PGPR).
- BioNfix®-AL can be used as an effective component in Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) programmes, thereby leading to a reduction in the use of chemical fertilisers and creating a safer environment.
A: It is generally recommended to apply the biofertilizer during the early stages of crop development, such as at the time of sowing or transplanting.
A: No, BioNfix®-AL cannot be used along with chemical fertilizers/ other agrochemicals (which may be toxic to the beneficial bacteria). However, it is compatible with other Biofertilisers and Biopesticides.
A: BioNfix®-AL is stable for a period of 6 months from the date of manufacturing. The duration of the effect can vary, but generally, the benefits can persist for several weeks to months. Reapplication may be necessary for sustained results.
A: Store the biofertilizer powder in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight. Follow the recommended storage conditions mentioned on the product packaging.
A: BioNfix®-AL is suitable for application on Cereals, Millets, Pulses, Oilseeds, Forage, Vegetables, Fruits, Orchards and Ornamentals.
A: Yes, BioNfix®-AL is considered environmentally friendly as it promotes sustainable agriculture practices by reducing the reliance on synthetic fertilizers.
