These microorganisms play a crucial role in enhancing soil fertility and promoting plant growth. Unlike chemical fertilizers, which directly provide nutrients to plants, biofertilizers work indirectly by improving soil health and nutrient availability. In return, the plant provides carbohydrates and other nutrients to the bacteria.
