biofertilizers
Biofertilizers are substances containing living microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere or plant interior to enhance nutrient supply and availability. Unlike chemical fertilizers, they leverage natural microbial processes—such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, and phytohormone production—to promote plant growth in a sustainable way. Research into biofertilizers is advancing our understanding of plant-microbe interactions and offers promising strategies for improving crop yields while reducing dependence on synthetic inputs.
