Popis: Biological inoculants, including free-living bacteria, fungi, and cyanophycean algae, promote plant growth and productivity by promoting emergence, ensuring mineral availability, offering growth regulators, and suppressing pests and pathogens. With shrinking agricultural land, population boon, and excessive chemical applications in agriculture exhibiting toxicological effects on humans through biomagnification, biological inoculants offer a possibility for sustainable agriculture. Biological inoculants produce siderophore to ensure iron availability to enhance the plant growth, disease and pest resistance, and bioremediation. Thus, biological inoculants and siderophore offer a cost-effective, practical way to deliver growth promotion, disease management, and environment cleanup in an eco-friendly way.
