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 …

Plant beneficial microbes (PBMs), such as plant growth-promoting bacteria, rhizobia,
arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, and Trichoderma, can reduce the use of agrochemicals and …

Organic matter decomposition is a biochemical process with consequences affecting climate
change and ecosystem productivity. Once decomposition begins, C is lost as CO 2 or …

Both biotic and abiotic stresses are major constrains to agricultural production. Under stress
