 ABSTRACT

In the present study different carrier and liquid biofertilizers are collected from different production centers and research stations for Monitoring  quality parameters which includes moisture percentage, pH, Consistency, Level of contaminants  and Microbial population of beneficial bacteria in liquid and carrier based biofertilizers at monthly intervals. In carrier and liquid Biofertilizers gradual change in pH and consistency was observed. In Carrier based Biofertilizers quality was too low and decrease in count was more when compared to Liquid Biofertilizers.

Key words: Carrier based Biofertilizers, Liquid based Biofertilizers, PSB, Rhizobium, Shelf life, Quality control.
