Efficiency of nutrient uptake increased: Biofertilizers increase the availability of nutrients in the soil, which may result in plants absorbing nutrients more effectively. Plants are better able to reduce water stress and make better use of the water that is available when they get the essential nutrients in a timely manner.
Improved root development: Mycorrhizal fungi, a type of biofertilizer, work in symbiotic partnerships with plant roots to encourage branching and growth. Plants with well-developed root systems are more drought-resistant because they can search a wider area of soil for water.
Stress tolerance: A plant’s ability to withstand drought and other abiotic stress conditions can be improved by several biofertilizers, including specific bacteria and biostimulants that promote plant development. When plants are more capable of coping with water shortages, they can continue to grow and reduce when irrigation.
