By 2050, the world population is expected to reach nine billion, so doubling the production of food in order to meet human daily needs will be a great challenge for the global agricultural system. Soil is the most complex natural entity with broad range of microbial biomass; however the soil's natural fertility gradually decreases to the use of synthetic chemicals, fertilizers and pesticides. Global food production has therefore declined, and its production needs to be boosted in a sustainable way in order to introduce the idea of biofertilizer. A significant part of Integrated Nutrient Management is biofertilizer. In soil fertility and sustainability the potential biofertilizers play a key role. The three main forms of biofertilizers used are Rhizobium, Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and Azolla. These are organic substances which use different strains of specific micro-organisms in order to increase soil fertility and boost agricultural productivity in a sustainable manner for the future.
