Abstract
Excessive use of chemical fertilizers has caused a large number of environmental pollution's in water, air and soil. Biofertilizers have, therefore, been developed as a safer and more effective alternative. Biofertilizers refer to any substance that contains living organisms whose activities can improve plant growth by increasing availability of plant nutrients. This work is aimed at production of liquid biofertilizer using fruits, rice chaff, wheat chaff and soil containing growth-promoting microorganisms; as well as isolation and characterisation of the component nitrogen-fixing and phosphate-solubilising bacteria. Azotobacter and Bacillus subtilis were isolated using Mannitol Ashby and Pikovskaya agar media, respectively. They were characterised using biochemical tests. This can be used in further research to genetically engineer these organisms, in order to optimise their efficiency.
