The burgeoning global market for soil microbial inoculants for use in agriculture is being
driven by pressure to increase sustainable crop production by managing pests and diseases …

There is increasing interest in the use of beneficial microorganisms as alternatives to
chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilisers in agricultural production. Application of …

Phosphate‐solubilising microorganisms (PSM) are often reported to have positive effects on
crop productivity through enhanced phosphorus (P) nutrition. Our aim was to evaluate the …

Microorganisms are integral to the soil phosphorus (P) cycle and as such play an important
role in mediating the availability of P to plants. Understanding the microbial contribution to …

Background Agricultural production is often limited by low phosphorus (P) availability. In
developing countries, which have limited access to P fertiliser, there is a need to develop …

Current rates of population growth require the development of new agricultural strategies to
feed the world human and livestock. The massive use of agricultural chemicals causes …

The rhizosphere is a complex environment where roots interact with physical, chemical and
biological properties of soil. Structural and functional characteristics of roots contribute to …

The associations between plants and multipurpose plant growth-promoting fungi (PGPF)
have been proven extremely to be beneficial to plants. This review describes new …

Phosphorus is abundant in soils in both organic and inorganic forms; nevertheless, it is
unavailable to plants. Accordingly, soil becomes phosphorus (P)-deficient, making P one of …

Different kinds of soil microorganisms belonging to several taxa of the bacteria, fungi, and
possibly, protozoa kingdoms, colonizing the rhizosphere or the plant tissues and promoting …
