Beneficial microorganisms in agriculture

Abstract

Beneficial microorganisms are used more and more frequently in the field of agriculture. Beneficial microorganisms can be divided into growth promoting bacteria and biocontrol bacteria. Growth promoting bacteria include improving the nutritional state of plants (such as nitrogen fixing bacteria, phosphorus solubilizing bacteria, potassium solubilizing bacteria, etc.) and improving the state of plants themselves (producing plant hormones, ACC deaminase, ferricarrier, etc.). Beneficial microorganisms are often used as biofertilizers in agricultural production and multifunctional biofertilizers are preferred. In this paper, the classification of beneficial microorganisms and their application in agriculture were reviewed in order to provide reference for the study of beneficial microorganisms.
