An enormous amount of waste material produced from paper and pulp industry is either dumped or incinerated. This pulp, on the other hand, is a rich source of macronutrients and can be used to improve the fertility of agricultural land. The continuous depletion of the earth’s natural resources, as well as the rising usage of toxic chemical fertilizers, are major concerns for agriculture’s sustainability. Biofertilizers are growing rapidly as a viable alternative to toxic chemical fertilizer in the pursuit of sustainable agriculture. Biofertilizer are vital for addressing global food demand by improving crop output and maintain long term soil fertility. Microbes can interact with crop plants to improve their immunity, growth, and development. The essential elements for crop growth include nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, zinc, and silica, although these nutrients are usually present in insoluble or complex forms. They are made soluble and accessible to plants by certain bacteria. This review discusses the potential microorganism, their mode of action, and their impact on crops. Biofertilizers are a good option for expensive and damaging chemical fertilizers since they are cheaper, non-toxic, and eco-friendly. The knowledge gained from this review can help us to understand the importance of microbes in agriculture screened from the paper industry waste and the ways to formulate these microbes as biofertilizers for sustainable crop production.
