Which one of the following is INCORRECT about organic fertilizers and biofertilizers?

Options

  1. AFormer is formed from product or dead material of biological origin.
  2. BOrganic fertilizers increase fertility of soil while later helps in nitrogen fixation
  3. CBiofertilizers include use of live bacterial or fungal organisms to enrich the nutrient quality of soil.
  4. DIt includes addition of inorganic minerals in definite proportion in the field.

Correct answer

D. It includes addition of inorganic minerals in definite proportion in the field.

Step-by-step solution

Organic fertilizers are derived from animal matter, animal excreta, human excreta, and vegetable matter (e.g., compost and crop residues). They are formed from products or dead materials of biological origin.

Biofertilizers are preparations containing living cells or latent cells of efficient strains of microorganisms (bacteria, fungi, algae) that help crop plants' uptake of nutrients by their interactions in the rhizosphere, such as nitrogen fixation and phosphorus solubilization.

Inorganic or chemical fertilizers involve the addition of inorganic minerals in definite proportions to the field. Therefore, the statement that organic and biofertilizers include the addition of inorganic minerals in definite proportions is incorrect.

Answer: It includes addition of inorganic minerals in definite proportion in the field.
