Abstract

Researchers have encouraged the methods of organic farming by the usage of “Bio-fertilizers” to stop chemical pollution in farmlands. Bio-fertilizer encompasses microorganisms that promote the sufficient supply of nutrients to the host plants and assure their appropriate development of growth and regulation in their physiology. Literally, with the target to feed people and support sustenance of life, agriculture was developed a long time ago. Nevertheless, the burgeoned population over the years resulted in depletion of scarce resources at such a high rate. The impacts of such detrimental enactment started to cause many unprecedented events in the nature, where agriculture was also no more an exception. In order to, revive the productive capacity of the soil, to feed increasing population; unsustainable practices like the use of chemical fertilizers came into existence. It might have acted as a boon during its initiating days, but after long usage of it for decades it pushed the agricultural sector even to the brink of deterioration by over-exploiting many of its’ natural states. So, green agriculture, where bio-fertilizers are also observed as biotic components that intensify natural conditions of soil, began to re-surface as a solution for implausible actions taking place in agriculture. Organic farming and sustainable agriculture are gaining popular worldwide. And one of the best options to achieve that goal is by using bio-fertilizers. There are different types of microbes that act as bio-fertilizers, where Mycorrhiza, PGPRs, PGPMs are also included, which seems to be effective for plants, soil health, environment in different ways that the biotechnological researches and experiments are also taking place in the world to supplement bio-fertilizers capacities ensuring sustainability in Agri-food system and the environment.
