Abstract The economic benefits of strawberry production with the application of monocultures of Aspergillus sp. and Enterobactor sp. and their mixed cultures (fungal-bacterial biofilm; BF) were calculated in comparison to the recommended dosage of chemical fertilizers (CFs) in a pot experiment. In terms of productivity, strawberry yield with BF coupled with 39% of CFs was 152% profitable over 100% CFs treatment. Aspergillus sp. and Enterobactor sp. showed the 102 and 66% of more profits when coupled with 100 and 34% of CFs, respectively. The findings of this study clearly indicate the efficacy of BF as a biofertilizer to reduce the usage of CFs in strawberry cultivation.
