The indiscriminate use of chemical fertilizers has led to adverse environmental impacts and poor crop quality and accelerates the depletion of mineral reserves used for fertilizer production. Microbes are vital in soil nutrient cycling, and some effectively enhance soil nutrient supply and reduce ch...
