Phosphorus (P) availability is usually low in soils around the globe. Most soils have a
deficiency of available P; if they are not fertilized, they will not be able to satisfy the P …

Growing environmental concerns are potentially narrowing global yield capacity of
agricultural systems. Climate change is the most significant problem the world is currently …

As one of the most important and essential macronutrients next to nitrogen, phosphorus (P)
is important for plant development, but it is the least mobile nutrient element in plant and soil …

Phosphorus is the second important key element after nitrogen as a mineral nutrient in terms
of quantitative plant requirement. Although abundant in soils, in both organic and inorganic …

In agricultural soils, plant-available nitrogen (N) and phosphorous (P) may be inadequate for
crop production although total N and P concentrations are high. Therefore, N and/or P …

Heavy metal pollution is insidious, long-term and irreversible, which seriously endangers the
environment and human health. Compared with physical and chemical remediation …

Several microbes promote plant growth, and many microbial products that stimulate plant
growth have been marketed. In this review we restrict ourselves to bacteria that are derived …

One of the main obstacles to plant growth is the lack of the availability of nutrient elements in
many agricultural environments in the world, especially the tropics where soils can be …

An intensive isolation program carried out in three replicated composting piles allowed the
identification of the resident and transient components of the composting microbiome. More …

Rhizobacteria are capable of stimulating plant growth through a variety of mechanisms that
