Explanation

Blue-green algae, also known as cyanobacteria, are widely used as biofertilizers in rice farming because they can fix atmospheric nitrogen, enriching the soil naturally. Rhizobium species primarily benefit leguminous plants, while mycorrhizal fungi assist in nutrient uptake but are not typical biofertilizers for rice.
