compounds being involved in various physiological and biochemical reactions. Phosphates …

Background Increasing crop production to feed a growing population has driven the use of
mineral fertilizers to ensure nutrients availability and fertility of agricultural soils. After …

Phosphorus (P) is one of the essential macronutrients for plant growth, being a highly
required resource to improve the productive performance of several crops, especially in …

Among many soil problems, heavy metal accumulation is one of the major agronomic
challenges that has seriously threatened food safety. Due to these problems, soil …

Although research on plant growth promoting bacteria began in the 1950s, basic and
applied research on bacteria improving use of phosphorus (P) continues to be a priority …

Increasing organic fertilizer application can improve the sustainability of soil productivity, but
the effects of increased organic fertilizer application with reduced chemical fertilizer …

Organic fertilizers increase plant growth and yield by improving soil properties. Judging from
the physical properties of the soil, organic fertilizer can increase the soil's ability to hold …

Limited P availability in several agricultural areas is one of the key challenges facing current
agriculture. Exploiting P-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) has been an emerging bio-solution for a …
