THE BENEFIT OF RHIZOBACTERIA AS BIOFERTILIZER FOR PLANT GROWTH

Abstract

The expansion in human population has raised a threatening remark to the food security of each individuals as the land for agriculture is restricted and, in any event, it gets diminished over time. For that reason, it is necessary that agricultural production ought to be improved essentially within the next few decades to meet the immense request of food by the arising populace. Without dwelling on the reliance of chemical fertilizers for crop production because of its adverse effect in the ecosystem and human health, microbial fertilizers were introduced to be a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizer by being eco-friendly and enhancement in food safety and crop production. Microbial fertilizer is significant group of microbial inoculants that exist in rhizosphere and are able to occupy the root of the plants and enhance their development. This is accomplished through nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, production of phytohormones, increase uptake of plant nutrients, and also protects against pathogens and ability to withstand environmental stress. As a result of this, I uncover in this write up on the significance of microbial fertilizers and how beneficial they are to plants and the future prospects of microbial fertilizer.
