“…Carriers increase the shelf life and enable the easy handling of microbial inoculants (Bhattacharjee and Dey, 2014). The benefits of biofertilizers include low cost, enhanced nutrient availability, improved soil fertility, protect plants from soil-borne pathogens, sustainable agricultural production, enhanced biotic and abiotic stress tolerance, promote phytohormone production, improve soil health, causing less environmental pollution, and its continued use improves the fertility of soil considerably (Chaudhary et al, 2021(Chaudhary et al, , 2022a. Based on the source and raw material, global biofertilizer is marketed under two major categories like organic residue-based biofertilizer and microorganismsbased biofertilizer.…”

“…Biological control of plant diseases occurs via destruction of pathogens via beneficial microbes such as Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Streptomyces, Pantoea spp., and several fungal spp. (Köhl et al, 2019;Chaudhary et al, 2021). Such endosymbiont group of biocontrol agents being friendly, they not only colonize internal plant tissue but also protect host plant throughout its life cycle without causing any apparent damage (Lahlali et al, 2022).…”

“…Directly or indirectly, these biofertilizers mediate the performance of plant growth ( Figure 1 ). Direct mechanisms that act upon plants directly include nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, micronutrient solubilization, and the production of phytohormones (Chaudhary et al, 2021 ). The indirect mechanism generally protects the plant from the deleterious effect of the pathogens by releasing lytic enzymes, antibiotics, siderophores, and cyanide production (Mahmud et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Bacillus subtilis is also known as PSB which improved safflower growth and protects plants from salinity stress as reported by Zhang et al ( 2019 ).

“…Soil fertility is inextricably linked to the balance of microorganisms and plants (Vishwakarma et al, 2020 ). The application of biofertilizers can be a probable approach to improve soil microbial status that stimulates the natural soil microbiota therefore influencing nutrient accessibility and decomposition of organic matter (Chaudhary et al, 2021 ). It was observed that the supply of biofertilizers in apricot modifies the microbial composition and degradation process which could be efficient in nutrient cycles in soil under field conditions (Agri et al, 2021 ; Baldi et al, 2021 ).…”

With the increase in world population, the demography of humans is estimated to be exceeded and it has become a major challenge to provide an adequate amount of food, feed, and agricultural products majorly in developing countries. The use of chemical fertilizers causes the plant to grow efficiently and rapidly to meet the food demand. The drawbacks of using a higher quantity of chemical or synthetic fertilizers are environmental pollution, persistent changes in the soil ecology, physiochemical composition, decreasing agricultural productivity and cause several health hazards. Climatic factors are responsible for enhancing abiotic stress on crops, resulting in reduced agricultural productivity. There are various types of abiotic and biotic stress factors like soil salinity, drought, wind, improper temperature, heavy metals, waterlogging, and different weeds and phytopathogens like bacteria, viruses, fungi, and nematodes which attack plants, reducing crop productivity and quality. There is a shift toward the use of biofertilizers due to all these facts, which provide nutrition through natural processes like zinc, potassium and phosphorus solubilization, nitrogen fixation, production of hormones, siderophore, various hydrolytic enzymes and protect the plant from different plant pathogens and stress conditions. They provide the nutrition in adequate amount that is sufficient for healthy crop development to fulfill the demand of the increasing population worldwide, eco-friendly and economically convenient. This review will focus on biofertilizers and their mechanisms of action, role in crop productivity and in biotic/abiotic stress tolerance.

Sustainable increase in agriculture productivity is confronted by over‐reliance and over‐use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. With a market projection of $5.02 billion by 2030, biofertilizers are gaining momentum as a supplement and, in some cases, as an alternative to chemical fertilizers. Biofertilizers can improve the nutritional supply to the plant and simultaneously can improve soil health, reduce greenhouse emissions, and hence directly contribute towards environmental sustainability. Plant growth‐promoting microbes (PGPMs) are particularly receiving significant attention as biofertilizers. They are widely known for their ability to improve plant growth via increasing nutrient availability and use efficiency. However, except for a few successful cases, the commercialization of PGPM‐based inoculants is still limited, mainly due to lack of field efficacy and consistency. Lack of effective formulation technologies that keep microbial inoculants viable during storage, transport and field application is considered one of the key factors that drive inconsistent efficacy of microbial biofertilizers. In this review, we identify current challenges associated with the application and formulation of microbial inoculants. We propose future paths, including advancement in formulation technologies that are potentially efficient, eco‐friendly and cost‐effective. We argue that to enhance the global adoption of biofertilizers, new innovations based on transdisciplinary approaches are indispensable. The emerging framework should encompass a robust quality control system at all stages. Additionally, the active partnership between the academic and industry stakeholders will pave the way for enhanced global adoption of microbial fertilizers.
