| contents | <p>Across the globe, the greatest challenge of agriculture systems is to produce<br>food, manage stresses, and confront the prevailed dependency on chemical<br>inputs including fertilizers and pesticides. From crop emergence to maturity,<br>there is an increased risk of occurrence of pests and weeds. Pathogens attack<br>plants resulting in huge crop losses every year, which vary from 15-20% and<br>such diseases are caused by viruses, fungi, bacteria and nematodes. Any<br>stress management is vital in agriculture to maintain crop health and<br>productivity so as to meet food security requirements for a continuous<br>increase in the estimated world population. Ongoing production of<br>agricultural crops largely depends on various soil types and surrounding<br>environments, but crop production faces abiotic stresses also worldwide due<br>to changing climate conditions such as rising temperature, increasing<br>salinity, floods, drought, frequent floods, and ozone damage. It is, therefore,<br>a challenging task to employ effective technologies for pest immunity and<br>disease management against the current burden of the global increasing<br>population. Thus, there is a need for a more eco-compatible technology that<br>can somehow justify abundant agricultural crop production by considering<br>health issues as well as harmful effects on the environment. Traditionally,<br>soils rich in natural nutrients have been used for agriculture. Since<br>agricultural crops rely on synthetic fertilizers and agro-chemicals for highest<br>crop production therefore biofertilizers are a good solution to combat<br>agricultural pests. Biofertilizers and organic farming are a holistic crop and<br>soil management methods with little use of chemical inputs. Around 3% of<br>the world"s arable land is cultivated with organic farming. Organic crop<br>biology increased from 1.7 million hectares in 2020 to 195 million hectares<br>worldwide in 2022. The fertilizers used in this method are rock phosphate,<br>bone meal, green manure, and paucity cake. Application of natural product<br>fertilizers enhance crop quality and productivity and provide natural<br>nutrients. Modern agriculture requires balanced nutrition and crop pest and<br>disease management strategy for public health and safe environment. This<br>process can be obtained by the use of bio fertilizers, weed, and biological<br>control agents. Biofertilizers are natural living things containing plant<br>nutrients that provide nutrients to the plant. On the other hand, booster focus<br>needs on the minimum use of synthetic chemicals by focusing on<br>biofertilizers and biocontrol agents for large crop production free of harmful<br>chemicals.</p> |
