Development of Climate-Smart Bacterial Biofertilizers
Bacterial biofertilizers offer a climate smart alternative to chemical fertilizers by reducinggreenhouse gas emissions, improving soil health, and enhancing nutrient-use efficiency.Unlike synthetic inputs, biofertilizers promote biological processes that increase soilcarbon sequestration and resilience to climate-induced stresses such as drought,salinity, and heavy metal toxicity. The use of native, stress-tolerant bacterial biofertilizersalso ensures stable performance under dynamic climatic conditions, supporting climate-smart agriculture.
