Biofertilizers face survival challenges in soil, hindering environmental benefits.
Biofertilizers are helpful for plants and the environment, but they often don't work well in real fields. Factors like soil pH, temperature, and chemicals can affect their performance. Bacteria in biofertilizers face challenges from other microorganisms in the soil. This can reduce the overall effectiveness of the biofertilizer. Scientists are studying how to make biofertilizers more resistant to these challenges so they can work better in the field.
