        abstract = {The excessive application of chemical fertilizers has prompted significant environmental concerns, necessitating the exploration of sustainable alternatives. This research investigates the potential of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) derived from spoiled, fermented Cocos nucifera combined with wild turmeric (Curcuma aromatica) to create an environmentally friendly liquid biofertilizer. Various bacterial strains were evaluated for essential plant growth-promoting (PGP) characteristics, such as phosphate solubilization, nitrogen fixation, and ammonia production. Morphological and biochemical analyses confirmed the presence of beneficial microorganisms, with certain strains exhibiting high efficacy in nutrient mobilization. A liquid biofertilizer was developed using the most effective isolates and subjected to field trials on crop plants, measuring its effects on germination, root growth, and overall plant health. The findings indicated a notable enhancement in growth parameters, underscoring the potential of this biofertilizer as a cost-effective and sustainable substitute for synthetic fertilizers. This research not only promotes waste valorization but also advances biofertilizer technology to enhance agricultural productivity.},
