Utilization of Microbial Consortia as Biofertilizers and Biopesticides for the Production of Feasible Agricultural Product

Farmers are now facing a reduction in agricultural crop yield, due to the infertility of soils and poor farming. The application of chemical fertilizers distresses soil fertility and also human health. Inappropriate use of chemical fertilizer leads to the rapid decline in production levels in most p...

The application of chemical fertilizers distresses soil fertility and also human health.
