The agricultural inoculants market is at a prime focus in the agriculture industry for its multi-functional benefits and functional properties. It is also known as bio-inoculants'. Agricultural inoculants are used as they improve the availability of nutrients for the host plant. They enhance the plant uptake of phosphorus and zinc. It acts as a physical barrier against pathogens and protects plants, decomposes organic residues, and stimulates the overall plant growth and development.

Agricultural inoculants are gaining more significance in the market with a rise in prices of chemical/mineral fertilizers and increase in organic and eco-friendly farming practices, globally. The recent increase in the price of mineral/chemical fertilizers and commercial response to the rising food prices has reinforced the need to develop alternative soil fertility management strategies.
