It is a rich source of organic manure. It also helps significantly improve the quality of the soil. The process is aerobic which uses various micro-organisms such as bacteria, actinomycetes, and fungi to break down the higher organic compounds, like cellulose and lignin's, into simpler substances. A biofertilizer made from this organism is applied either by coating seeds with the fungus (called inoculation), or putting it directly into the ground where the plant's roots will live. ... Another example of an organism that is used to make biofertilizers is the bacterium Rhizobium.
