Biofertilizers, more commonly known as microbial inoculants, are artificially multiplied cultures of certain soil organisms that can improve soil fertility and crop productivity. Biofertilizers have various benefits. Besides accessing nutrients, for current intake as well as
residual, different biofertilizers also provide growth-promoting factors to plants and some have
been successfully facilitating composting and effective recycling of solid wastes. By controlling
soil borne diseases and improving the soil health and soil properties these organisms help not
only in saving, but also in effectively utilising chemical fertilizers and result in higher yield rates
