Microbes as Biofertilizers, a Potential Approach for Sustainable Crop Production

Continuous decline of earth’s natural resources and increased use hazardous chemical fertilizers pose a great concern for the future agriculture. Biofertilizers are promising alternative to gaining importance attaining sustainable play key role in increasing crop yield maintaining long-term soil fertility, which is essential meeting global food demand. Microbes can interact with plants enhance their immunity, growth, development. Nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, silica nutrients required proper growth crops, but these naturally present insolubilized or complex forms. Certain microorganisms render them soluble make available plants. The potential microbes, mode action, along effect on discussed this review. Biofertilizers, being cost effective, non-toxic, eco-friendly, serve as good substitute expensive harmful fertilizers. knowledge gained from review help us understand microbes agriculture ways formulate biofertilizers production.
