Formulation of biofertilizers from oil palm empty fruit bunches and plant growth-promoting microbes: A comprehensive and novel approach towards plant health
Our heavy reliance on chemical fertilizers for agricultural practices has fostered the development of a vast industry that is producing chemicals that are toxic not only for humans but also for the environment. Biofertilizers are microbial formulations containing native plant growth-promoting microo...
