Abstract:
Microorganisms found in the soil environment are microbes that have recently come to light as a crucial part of sustainable agriculture. Through interactions between host plant roots and microbes in the rhizosphere, these beneficial microorganisms perform a variety of plant growth-promoting activities, such as nitrogen fixation, nutrient mineralization, mineral solubilization, mobilization of plant nutrients, siderophore production, antagonistic substance production, antibiotic production, and release of plant growth-promoting substances, such as auxin, cytokines, and gibberellin hormones. Many plants associate symbiotically with microorganisms to obtain mineral nutrients more efficiently, and their distribution is determined by root exudate abundance, crop species, and cultivars. Important roles for microorganisms in the microbiome can be found in products known as biofertilizers. Important microorganisms are employed in agriculture to promote crop growth, and advances utilizing microbiomes are what sustainable agriculture will look like in the future. A safe environment can be achieved through sustainable agriculture with the help of effective use of microbiomes.
