In 1922,Bjernick was culturing for nitrogen-fixing soil bacteria when he happened upon colonies that seemed to stick around for only a little while, before being superseded by other organisms.He found those particular gram-negative colonies could be induced to stay around longer when grown on a malate medium.They appeared to him as spirillium under the microscope, but had metabolic attributes more similar to those of azobacter.He therefore named his organism (genus name) Azospirillium. This is liquid based bio-fertilizer containing Azospirillium spp. It fixes atmospheric nitrogen in the range of 20-40 Kg N/ha in the soil. It enhances seed germination, early emergence, improves plumpness and succulence of fruits and promotes root proliferation. It also secretes plants growth promoters which further promotes vegetative growth of plant. Approved by state government.
