| Abstract | "Growing worldwide concerns such as rising food demand, chemical fertilizer shortages, and climate change have pushed a shift toward sustainable approaches. Microbial consortia are promising sustainable alternatives to pesticide inputs because they improve crop output and nutrient usage efficiency, plant tolerance to biotic and abiotic stresses, disease resistance, and adaptation to climate change. They can boost plant productivity by nitrogen fixation, increasing nutrient availability, or enhancing plant-root systems, and also protect them against pathogens by many modes of action. Microorganism development and production involves numerous phases, including Isolation and identification of beneficial strains; Culture media, conditions optimization, and mass cultivation methods; Formulation and stabilization; and Quality control and field testing. This alternative has seen great success, but it is not without its obstacles and restrictions. For this, scientists, agricultural practitioners, and policymakers must conduct ongoing research, development, and collaboration"-- Provided by publisher. |
