Abstract: Only imports and subsidies have been able to guarantee the availability and affordability of chemical fertilisers made from fossil fuels at the farm level in India. Because of their non-toxicity, affordability, ease of use, and environmental friendliness, biofertilizers are currently a very effective substitute for chemical fertilisers. By making naturally available nutrients in the soil or environment advantageous to plants, they also serve as an adjunct to agrochemicals. If farmers and producers have the proper kind of access to information gleaned through experience and communication, this commodity could eventually show promise economically. The Indian government has been attempting to blend more advanced agrochemicals with biofertilizers. This study focuses on the success and failure issues in the Indian context to increase the potential for sustainable agriculture growth. Additionally, it emphasises the necessity of high levels of innovation, active involvement in scientific research and development, public awareness campaigns, and enticing business organisations and policy leaders to show interest in this area.
