Contribution, Limitations and Future Of Plant Growth Promoting Consortium in Sustainable Agriculture
Abstract: Current agricultural methods rely significantly on chemical fertilizers, pesticides, and other agrochemicals to enhance plant growth and combat pathogens, aiming to boost crop yields. However, the accumulation of chemical residues in the soil diminishes soil fertility considerably over a period. These accumulated chemicals gradually alter the soil's chemical composition, ultimately rendering it infertile. The high-risk conditions associated with these agricultural chemicals such as bioaccumulation, chemical toxicity and development of resistance …
