The Bacterial-Fungal Consortia: Farmer’s Needs, Legal and Scientific Opportunities, and Constraints

In the ecosystemecosystem, the plant microbiome is often in association with other microorganisms like bacteria, actinobacteria, and fungi that carry on different roles for the ecosystem. The functional microbiome of the rhizosphere has been studied widely for improvement and enhancement of crop productivity which directly supports a farmer first and later the economy of any country. The integrated functions of bacteria, in the development of synergies with fungal partners, have several advantages. In most of these, many are required to be revised and targeting them according to farmers’ needs to propagate conventional agriculture to less environment-impacting types of agriculture. Thus, focusing on it is important to re-look at the constraints of developing biofertilizers using multiple microorganisms. This review addresses the development of need-based and microbial consortia for farmers and the economy.
