This article describes the exploitation of microbial bioproducts in the agriculture field. As global warming lead to degradation natural resources and moreover, to facilitate the feed of growing population, some improvised technologies are to be adopted to enhance productivity in a sustainable manner through careful selection of microbes and their successful utilization in solving major agricultural and environmental issues. This review encompasses the research efforts aimed at improving a sustainable and healthy agricultural production through the appropriate management of biotechnology, natural sources and soil microorganisms. The review represents the significance of microbial bioproducts for improving soil fertility, crop yield and quality crop nutrition. Microbial bioproducts derived from various naturally-occurring microorganisms such as bacteria and fungi, protect crops from pests and diseases and enhance plant productivity and fertility. They enable farmers to increase yield and productivity in a sustainable way and are expected to play a significant role in agriculture. Consequently, the role of microbial bioproducts is directly proportional to the potential role of microorganisms which plays vital activity in bioproducts efficiently used as biopesticides, biostimulants and biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture. The present review highlights microbial bioproducts mediated crops functional traits such as plant growth and productivity, nutrient profile, plant defence and protection. This review also focuses on the studies on the effect of some efficient microbial bioproducts on major crops in the fields providing reliable reasons for their necessity, specificity and use for sustainable agriculture.
