The Production and Potential of Biofertilizers to Improve Crop Yields
Original language description
Extensive interactions of plant roots with soil microorganisms affect plant nutrition eitherndirectly by influencing mineral nutrient availability or indirectly through enhanced uptakenefficiency via plant root growth promotion. Beneficial microbial interactions with rootsnmay be either endophytic or associative and can be symbiotic, mutualistic, or incidental innnature. The increased understanding of the role of root – or rhizosphere –associated withnmicrobes in the nutrition and/or yield of agricultural crops in particular has resulted innpromotion of their use in agricultural production as alternatives or supplements to mineralnor organic fertilizers. Despite this, there is an obvious lack of market penetration of microbialninoculants. This review specifically focuses on microbial inoculants, collectively termed biofertilizers, used to improve nutrition and yields of grain, legume, oil, tuber, and other crops. A vast number of commercial biofertilizers are available worldwide; however, the quality and efficacy of many of them are not proven or tested. In the absence of efficacious biofertilizers of good and consistent quality, the dependence on the use of mineral fertilizers is not likely to decrease. Thus the availability of high-quality biofertilizers must be priority particularly in countries where crop plant production plays a key role in the economy and food security.n
