چکیده :

The increasing reliance on chemical pesticides and fertilizers in conventional agriculture has raised concerns over environmental sustainability and human health. In response, biofertilizers, which contain living microorganisms that enhance soil fertility and plant growth, are emerging as a promising alternative. This paper explores the role of biofertilizers in reducing chemical pesticide use, emphasizing their ability to improve plant disease resistance, suppress soil-borne pathogens, and reduce pest infestations. Biofertilizers promote sustainable farming by enhancing soil health, reducing water pollution, and lowering greenhouse gas emissions compared to synthetic chemicals. Additionally, biofertilizers support nutrient cycling and biodiversity conservation, making them a key component in eco-friendly agricultural practices. However, the adoption of biofertilizers faces challenges such as high initial costs, limited awareness among farmers, and lack of standardization. Despite these barriers, the growing demand for sustainable agricultural solutions offers significant potential for the widespread use of biofertilizers. With continued technological advancements, research, and policy support, biofertilizers could significantly reduce the dependence on chemical pesticides and fertilizers, driving a shift toward more environmentally responsible and economically viable farming practices.
