Abstract
Biofertilizers are becoming increasingly popular due to the increasing emphasis on maintenance of soil health, to minimize environmental pollution, cut down the use of chemicals in agriculture and increasing concerns on public health. Biofertilizers offer wide range of opportunities for development of better agro-practices due to advantages and benefits provided for the soil, crops and farmers. However, some limitations of these practices are clearly recognized which demand feasibility studies to be carried out carefully to find better solutions for each particular case in agricultural activities.
