Abstract:
This review was aimed to discuss the role of bio-fertilizer for maximizing productivity of selected horticultural crops. Data
of previous researches were analysed to justify the objective. It was concluded that transfer of technology by the research
institutions and industry is essential in the management of natural resources in sustainable agriculture as the microbial
fertilizers hold vast potential for the future. The crop- microbial soil ecosystem energized in sustainable agriculture with
considerable ecological stability and environmental quality improves the potential of bio-fertilizers in vegetable production.
