Artificial inoculation
This is done on seed or soil with preparation containing live microorganisms especially bacteria (bacterisation). This is beneficial, in that this provides an easier way for the establishment of the microbes to the rhizosphere. This is because as the seed is coated with the live microorganisms, as soon as the root evolves, the colonising of the root takes place and establishment of the other microbes is also made possible. Microbial seed inoculants generally used are Azotobacter, Beijerinckia, Rhizobium or phosphorous solubilising microorganisms
