Soil microorganisms in agriculture

The world's growing population necessitates more food, which is solely reliant on agricultural production. To meet the world's food needs, agriculture and related industries are under intense pressure. To increase agricultural production, farmers indiscriminately apply different types of agrochemicals to fields. Although these agrochemicals increase agricultural production, the ecology as a whole suffers as a result of them. Agrochemicals' detrimental effects on non-target species such as plants, microorganisms in the soil, and human health are currently gaining significant attention. One of the main sources of toxicants like heavy metals in agriculture is the use of various agrochemicals. Consequently, there is a great demand for safer alternatives that are easy to handle, non-toxic, safe for non-target species, and target-specific. An efficient alternative for agrochemicals in agriculture is the use of beneficial soil microorganisms. The production of agriculture is successfully increased by soil microorganisms, which are also environmentally friendly.
