TLDR
In this paper, a balanced fertilization strategy that combines use of chemical, organic and /or bio-fertilizers must to be developed and evaluated, and a sound management of fertilization must attempt to ensure both enhanced and safeguard the environment.
Abstract
Plant nutrients are essential for production of crop and healthy food for the word's expanding population. Plant nutrients are therefore a vital component of sustainable agriculture. Increased crop production largely relics on the type of fertilizers used to supplement essential nutrients for plants. The nature and the characteristics of nutrients release of chemical, organic and biofertilizers are different, and each type of fertilizer has its advantages and disadvantages for crop growth and soil fertility. A sound management of fertilization must attempt to ensure both enhanced and safeguard the environment; therefore, a balanced fertilization strategy that combines use of chemical, organic and /or biofertilizers must to be developed and evaluated.

The use of microalgae as a high-value organic slow-release fertilizer results in tomatoes with increased carotenoid and sugar levels

TL;DR: In this article, microalgae offer the potential to recover nutrients from waste streams and subsequently use the microalgal biomass as a sustainable slow-release fertilizer for tomato cultivation, which can improve the fruit quality through an increase in sugar and carotenoid content, although a lower tomato yield was obtained.

Improvement in bioavailability of tricalcium phosphate to Cymbopogon martinii var. motia by rhizobacteria, AMF and Azospirillum inoculation.

TL;DR: It is indicated that all microbes inoculated together help in the uptake of tricalcium phosphate which is otherwise not used by the plants and their addition at 200 mg kg(-1) of soil gave higher productivity to palmarosa plants.
