Abstract
The application of chemical fertilizers (such as calcium nitrate, urea, ammonium sulfate, diammonium phosphate, etc.) is crucial to the world's food production because it acts as a fast food for plants, accelerating their growth and efficiency. However, because of the excessive and unbalanced use of these synthetic inputs, negative effects are being observed. Beneficial microorganisms found in biofertilizers provide a sustainable substitute for chemical fertilizers, tackling the mounting worries about non-renewable resource depletion and environmental degradation. Biofertilizers play an important role in enhancing soil fertility, promoting plant growth, and ensuring agricultural sustainability. Various types of biofertilizers have distinct mechanisms of action and work with a variety of crops and soil types. Overall, this review compiles the body of knowledge currently available on biofertilizers, offering insightful information to academics and agricultural professionals who want to make the most of biofertilizers' potential to advance sustainable agriculture and guarantee global food security.Biofertilizer, Nutrient, Microorganism, Agriculture, Sustainability.
