Abstract :In recent years, due to issues such as irregular and unplanned urbanization and industrialization, the existing agricultural areas have been decreasing rapidly, and the decreasing agricultural areas reveal the necessity of increasing the yield obtained from the unit area. This necessity leads to the pollution of agricultural lands and indirectly groundwater due to more chemical inputs day by day. Chemical fertilizers, one of the most common of these inputs, are the leading cause of pollution. Unconscious and excessive use is one of the most important factors of pollution. In recent years, with the increasing awareness and regulations, efforts on safe and healthy food production have increased, and in this context, the use of more environmentally friendly products that are harmless to humans and other living things has become widespread. In this context, some beneficial bacteria and fungal organisms isolated from soil are the most common biological fertilizers known to improve plant and soil properties. The hyphae formed by mycorrhizae containing fungal organisms can cover the plant roots and improve the surface area of the roots and the absorption of elements by extending deep into the soil. They also support plant growth by increasing phytohormone production. PGPRs insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria); containing beneficial bacteria, on the other hand, enable plants to absorb nitrogen and other elements in the atmosphere more easily, and they can also contribute to the development of plants by synthesizing growth-promoting substances. Ornamental plants cultivation, which is one of the most important subjects of agriculture and is carried out in large areas around the world, is one of the sectors where agricultural inputs are used intensively. In this study, more detailed information about biological fertilizers containing microorganisms, which are environmentally friendly fertilizers, will be given and the possibilities of their use in the field of ornamental plants and the studies that have been made will be tried to be examined.
