Q. Consider the following statements:

1. Biofertilizers supply direct nutrients to the crops.
2. Biofertilizers are able to take care of Nitrogen, Potassium and Phosphate needs of plants.

Which of the above statements is / are correct?
Answer: Neither 1 nor 2
Notes: Biofertilizers do not supply nutrients directly to crops; instead, they contain microorganisms that enhance nutrient availability. While some help with nitrogen and phosphate, they do not provide potassium, nor do they fulfill all nutrient requirements. Thus, neither statement 1 nor 2 is correct as per the scientific definition of biofertilizers.
