Development of an encapsulated biofertilizer using a sodium alginate-corn starch-chitosan nanoparticle matrix for improved shelf life and controlled delivery of Serratia sp. ABU35 to enhance growth performance of guava (Psidium guajava L.)

Sustainable alternatives to synthetic fertilisers are urgently needed to mitigate their ecological footprint, yet the practical deployment of microbial biofertilisers is constrained by poor survival and inconsistent performance under field conditions. Encapsulation formulations have been explored to enhance microbial s...
