The world population is increasing, and it is becoming more difficult to feed the world using traditional agriculture methods. Farmers use different types of agrochemicals such as chemical pesticides and fertilizers to increase agricultural production. The use of agrochemicals is increasing and due to their extensive usage has been shown to negatively impact soil, water, the environment, and ultimately the health of plants and humans. Thus, scientists are developing several advanced strategies to improve agricultural production and identify the most environmental friendly ones. Application of beneficial soil microorganisms (BSMs) and their based bioformultions (biopesticides and biofertilizers) is considered a good alternative to agrochemicals because they contain a typical population of beneficial microorganisms that supply nutrients from soil needed by plants and control pests without harming the environment. The beneficial effects of BSMs on crop growth and development have been reported by several researchers. This study aims to explore the role of BSMs as an environment friendly and sustainable alternative for agrochemicals in agriculture.
