agricultural systems is vital to circumvent the effect of climate change and land‐shortage …

The insoluble phosphorus in the soil is extremely difficult to be absorbed and used directly
through the potato root system. Although many studies have reported that phosphorus …

Nitrogen (N) is one of the limiting factors for plant growth, and it is mainly supplied
exogenously by fertilizer application. It is well documented that diazotrophic rhizobacteria …

Sustainable agriculture demands the balanced use of inorganic, organic, and microbial
biofertilizers for enhanced plant productivity and soil fertility. Plant growth-enhancing …

Sustainable agriculture remains a focus for many researchers, in an effort to minimize
