Four Decades of <i>Bacillus</i> Biofertilizers: Advances and Future Prospects in Agriculture.

ABSTRACT: Over the past four decades, Bacillus biofertilizers, which are microbial formulations based on Bacillus species, have significantly contributed to sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop growth, improving soil health, and reducing the dependency on chemical fertilizers. Bacillus species, particularly known for their ability to promote plant growth, fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, and produce growth-promoting substances such as phytohormones and antibiotics, have emerged as key players in the development of eco-friendly agricultural solutions. This research utilizes bibliometric analysis based on 3,242 documents sourced from the Web of Science database to map the development, key contributions, and innovation within the field from 1985 to 2023.
