Abstract
Biofertilizers are a fundamental component of modern agriculture. It is a benefit of current agriculture research. Biofertilizers are used in agriculture to replace conventional fertilizers. Conventional fertilizers, which are composed of domestic garbage and green manure, are less effective than chemical fertilizers. As a result, frequently experiment with chemical fertilizers in the field to promote crop growth. However, it is apparent that chemical fertilizers are harmful to the ecosystem. They contribute to water and soil pollution and can spread cancer-causing chemicals. Furthermore, they may deplete soil fertility in the long run. Therefore, scientist have invented biofertilizers to prevent pollution and make the earth healthier for everyone in a natural way. Biofertilizers comprises microorganisms that encourage an appropriate supply of nutrients to the host plants while also ensuring optimal growth and physiological development. Biofertilizers are made from biological microorganisms with specialized capabilities to increase plant growth and reproduction are utilized. There are various types of microorganisms used in biofertilizers. Fertilizer is an essential component of organic farming and plays an important role in preserving long-term soil fertility and sustainability.
