Biofertilizer Derived from Cyanobacterial

Abstract

The ongoing rise in human population and the depletion of energy resources pose a threat to the environment's demands, as well as to the sustainable production of food and energy. The most environmentally friendly method, or “green technology”, has been used to prepare biofertilizer. The prokaryotic creature that has evolved and persisted the longest is the cyanobacterium. They are regarded as one of the earliest living organisms on Earth. New candidates for effectively converting radiative energy into chemical energy include cyanobacteria. As a byproduct, this biological system creates oxygen. The large-scale production of food, energy, biofertilizers, secondary metabolites, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals can all be accomplished with cyanobacterial biomass. As a result, cyanobacteria are utilized in environmentally friendly, sustainable farming practices to produce biomass with a very high value and reduce CO 2 levels. This chapter cover the methods for cyanobacterial biofertilizers’ mass production as well as their uses in industrial and agricultural settings.
