“…In addition, the connection between PGPR and plants is fortified by cellular communication methods such as quorum sensing. This serves as a signaling mechanism through which the microorganisms gauge their environment and its activity within the rhizosphere [36]. The effect of drying along with different periods of storage of biofertilizer formulations by different methods was investigated in the growth and yield of tomato plants [37].…”

Agriculture has long been the cornerstone of human civilization, providing sustenance and livelihoods for millennia. However, as the global population continues to burgeon, agriculture faces mounting challenges. Soil degradation, nutrient depletion, environmental pollution, and the need for sustainable farming practices are among the pressing issues that require innovative solutions. In this context, nano-biofertilizers have emerged as a groundbreaking technological advancement with the potential to reshape modern agriculture. nano-biofertilizers are innovative agricultural products that leverage the combined principles of nanotechnology and biotechnology to enhance nutrient uptake by plants, improve soil health, and promote sustainable farming practices. These specialized fertilizers consist of nanoscale materials and beneficial microorganisms. These fertilizers are eco-friendly and cost-effective and have shown promising results in various crop plants. In this review, we discuss the recent advances in the development of eco-friendly nano-biofertilizers along with an overview of the various types of nano-biofertilizers, their formulation, synthesis, and mode of application for next-generation agriculture. The importance of the interaction between nanoparticles and bacterial species and its impact on the effectiveness of nano-biofertilizers has also been discussed along with the potential benefits, challenges, and future perspectives of using eco-friendly nano-biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture, ensuring a greener and healthier future for generations to come.

“…Carrier materials can be organic, inorganic, or synthetic with appropriate physicochemical properties for maintaining the microbial strains in good physiological condition under storage and on the field. Finally, quality control (QC), packaging, and storing biofertilizers based on carrier matrices are performed (Sarbani & Yahaya, 2022).…”

Utilizing the interactions of microorganisms with plants offers a favorable path to increase crop production and replace the use of synthetic fertilizers. Different bacteria and fungi have been used as biofertilizers to improve agricultural production, yield, and sustainability. Beneficial microorganisms can act as free-living organisms, symbiotes, and endophytes. Soil bacteria called plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and fungi called arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF) stimulate the growth and health of plants by direct and indirect mechanisms including nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, phytohormone production, enzyme production, antibiotic synthesis, and induced systemic resistance. To use these microorganisms as a biofertilizer, it is necessary to assess their efficacy under laboratory and greenhouse conditions. Few reports detail the methods used to develop a test under different environmental conditions, and without these details it is difficult to develop suitable methodologies to evaluate microorganism-plant relationships. We describe four protocols that go from sample preparation to testing in vitro the efficacy of different biofertilizers. Each protocol can be used to test a different biofertilizer microorganism, focusing on bacteria such as Rhizobium sp., Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., Bacillus sp. as well as AMF such as Glomus sp. These protocols can be used in several stages of biofertilizer development, including microorganism selection, microorganism characterization, and in vitro evaluation of efficacy for the registration process.

Sustainable agricultural productivity is related to ecological, crop management, plant disease supervision as well as soil nutrient status. Plant beneficial microorganisms have been employed to augment crop production and served as substitutes to chemical fertilizers and pesticides.Bacillus species are the foremost plant growth-promoting bacteria. The genus, Bacillus has been utilized as a model organism for exploring sporulation, biofilm development, secondary metabolite production, plant root attachment etc. In addition to its various benefits for plant health, its ability to produce spores with high resilience makes it an attractive target for agricultural usage. Several of Bacillus spp. produce plethora of metabolites which activate plant growth and avert infection by pathogens. They also provide safeguard against hostile environmental circumstances. A number of Bacillus species, including B. thuringiensis, B.subtilis and others, have potential effects on plant development and stress resistance. Numerous studies on the effects of several Bacillus species, particularly Bacillus thuringiensis, on promoting plant development have been conducted during the past several years with a noticeably increased rate of phosphate solubilization in addition to its biopesticide action. The effectiveness of the Bacillus species as a potential biopesticide will be outlined in this review.
