ABSTRACT

Due to the robust demand for food, fiber, and bio energy resources, there is a rapid hire for strategies that perform utilization of finite resources, providing a real provocation to the agricultural industry, investigator and collaborators. Released funds in agriculture around past years have seen the growth of organic manures and fertilizers. The enhanced use of microbial inoculants (Bacteria, Cyanobacteria and Fungi) in crop plants has increase the mobilization of key microelements in soil such as potassium, phosphorous and nitrogen.  In account of the large scale agro-industrial waste collected in a year throughout the world, it contained a major share of lignocelluloses and starch. Here, we advocate the terminology, nano encapsulation of bio-inoculants and their potential in providing macronutrients for variant soil and plant biomes. Evidence to support larger crop yield are currently disconcerted by insufficient plot study and poor knowledge on their essential metabolism, which had led to conflicting reports on their field performance. There is moreover, a scope to improve sustainable macronutrient profiling in soil plant symbiotic system.   The further investigation can be performed on studies that suggest entangling activities of microbial interactions in soil.
