BIOFERTILIZATION AND ITS ROLE IN SUSTAINABLE AGRICULTURE: A REVIEW by W. M. Al-Joboory

“…Biofertilizers are one of the modern technologies for reducing excessive use of mineral fertilizers as they contribute significantly to improving the chemical, physical, and biological properties of soil, maintaining nutritional balance in agricultural soils, and converting them into forms ready to feed the plant. They are also less costly as they speed plant growth, in addition to secreting antibiotics that strengthen plant resistance to diseases and pests endemic to the soil and contribute to the secretion of various enzymes that stimulate plant growth. …”
