Abstract Globally, despite the intense agricultural production, output is expected to be limited by emerging infectious plant diseases and adverse impacts of climate change. The annual increase in sustain human population at expense environment has exacerbated current conditions threatened food security. demand for sustainable practice further augmented with exclusion synthetic fertilizers pesticides. Therefore, application microbiome engineering (natural) biostimulants been forefront as an environment-friendly approach enhance crop production tolerance environmental conditions. In this article, we explore a mitigating biotic abiotic stresses improving nutrient use efficiency promote growth yield. advancement/understanding plant-biostimulant interaction relies on scientific research elucidate extent benefits conferred these under
