With the increasing demand in agriculture it has become important for us to increase the productivity by using various fertilizers insecticides Pesticides .But with the tremendous use of these products the soil has been affected badly because of the depletion in the essential minerals of the soil. So to overcome this problem it has become important for all of us touse a different remedy for the production of various biofertilizers. The production if such biofertilizers from various microorganisms was studied from this work.
