Biofertilizers are the substances containing variety of microbes having the capacity to enhance plant nutrient uptake by colonizing the rhizosphere and make the nutrients easily accessible to plant root hairs. Biofertilizers are well known for their cost effectiveness, environment-friendly nature, and composition. These are effective alternatives to the hazardous synthetic fertilizers. The availability of bio-fertilizers also helps to boost productivity per acre in a relatively short amount of time, use less energy, reduce soil and water contamination, improve soil fertility, and promote biological control of phytopathogenic organisms. Numerous such advantages exist from an economic, social, and environmental perspective thanks to the use of biofertilizers.
