A recent study has revealed the potential of a certain microorganism to act as a biofertilizer for cucumber. The study, conducted by researchers at the Indian Institute of Technology, found that the microorganism, called Cupriavidus gilardii, when exposed to iron, could help to increase the growth of cucumber. The researchers exposed the cucumber plants to the microorganism and found that their growth was significantly improved. Additionally, the researchers found that the cucumber plants were able to absorb more iron when exposed to the microorganism than when exposed to iron alone. This could potentially lead to the development of a new type of biofertilizer that could help to increase crop yields.
