The contamination of soil with organic pollutants has been accelerated by agricultural and
industrial development and poses a major threat to global ecosystems and human health …

Background Inoculation of plants to enhance yield of crops and performance of other plants
is a century old, proven technology for rhizobia and a newer venue for plant growth …

Crop productivity and yield are adversely affected by the deficiency of P in agricultural soil.
Phosphate fertilizers are used at a large scale to improve crop yields globally. With the rapid …

In the coming decades there will be increasing pressure on global food systems, and
agriculture will have the challenge to provide food security for a growing world population …

Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium-legume symbioses represents an environmentally
friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical nitrogen fertilizers in legume …

Endophytic bacteria often promote plant growth and protect their host plant against
pathogens, herbivores, and abiotic stresses including drought, increased salinity or …

Drought is a major abiotic stress imposed by climate change that affects crop production and
soil microbial functions. Plants respond to water deficits at the morphological, biochemical …

There is an enormous body of the literature, proving that soil amendments enhance plant
growth/yield and prevent the impact of pathogens/toxins. To the best of our knowledge, there …

The interest in biofertilizers is increasing and so is the potential for their use in sustainable
agriculture. However, many of the products that are currently available worldwide are often …

The aim of this work is the evaluation of metal phytostabilisation potential of Lupinus luteus
