Agricultural inoculants are formulations that contain live microorganisms, such as bacteria, fungi, and other microbes, that are added to soil, seeds, or plant surfaces to enhance plant growth, health, and productivity. They work by establishing beneficial microbe populations in the soil or on the plant, which can improve nutrient availability, pest and disease resistance, and other plant growth-promoting activities.
Agricultural inoculants are considered a sustainable and environmentally friendly alternative to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides, as they can reduce the need for chemical inputs and improve soil health over time. However, the effectiveness of inoculants can vary depending on soil conditions, plant species, and other environmental factors, and careful selection and application is important to achieve optimal results.

Drivers & Restraints-
Rising Concerns regarding Soil Damage Due to Chemical Pesticides to Drive Growth
Growers use chemical pesticides in order to protect their crops against insects and harmful weeds. However, prolonged use of chemicals could damage the quality of the soil. The growing concerns regarding the over-use of chemical pesticides are estimated to drive the agricultural inoculants market growth in the forecast timeline. For example, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) of the United Nations, in 2018, the total amount of pesticides utilized by growers worldwide was 4.1 million. However, limited awareness regarding the product as well as its low shelf life is anticipated to limit the growth of agricultural inoculants.
