In light of the dual challenges posed by climate change and burgeoning global population, which are putting food security at risk, there is an urgent need to develop sustainable agricultural innovations. These innovations must be capable increasing crop productivity maintaining soil health, reducing our dependence on synthetic agrochemical inputs, preserving nutritional quality crops. It crucia...

Abstract Background The effectiveness of two PGPB; Azospirillum brasilense NO40 and Stenotrophomonas maltophilia B11 was investigated in enhancing the drought tolerance wheat ( Triticum aestivum L.) seedlings cultivar Gemiza9. inoculated or uninoculated grains were sown unsterilized sandy soil watered normally untill 8 th day. Drought stress initiated by completely withholding water for 7 days ...

Soil salinity is among the major abiotic stresses that plants must face, mainly in arid and semiarid re-gions, high tolerance an important agronomic trait to sustain food production. Agricul-tural soils are unstable subject changes level, monitoring them at both local regional scale a relevant activity adopt soil water management strategies decrease salt concentration root zone, thus minimizing...

Rapid urbanization and population growth are stressing the present agricultural systems could threaten food security in near future. Sustainable development agriculture is a way out to such enormously growing demand. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) considered pivotal providing adequate nutrition health plants maintaining soil microbial dynamics. In study, municipal solid waste composts (...

Given the hypothesis that co-inoculation with plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) enhances beneficial effects of Rhizobium tropici greater mineral nutrition, optimizes biological nitrogen fixation and reduces use fertilizers in bean plants, objective this research was to evaluate synergistic associated Azospirillum brasilense, Bacillus subtilis, Pseudomonas fluorescens their combinations, on...

The study was aimed at assessing the effects of indigenous Plant Growth Promoting Bacterium (PGPB) on the legume Pongamia pinnata in the degraded soil of the Nanmangalam Reserve Forest (NRF) under nursery conditions. In total, 160 diazotrophs were isolated from three different nitrogen-free semi-solid media (LGI, Nfb, and JMV). Amongst these isolates, Pseudomonas aeruginosa RRALC3 exhibited the...

The usage of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) in mitigation harmful effects lead (Pb) toxicity plants and bioremediation it from soils is a sustainable, effective low-cost strategy. experiment was laid out to investigate the role PGPB on morphological physiological growth, root system architecture nodulation lentil under Pb stress. conducted according completely randomized factorial desig...

Sustainable farming of horticultural plants has been the focus research during last decade, paying significant attention to alarming weather extremities and climate change, as well pressure biotic stressors on crops. Microbial biostimulants, including plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), have proven increase growth via both direct indirect processes, availa...
