The present study explored the eco-friendly approach of utilizing plant-growth-promoting
rhizobacteria (PGPR) inoculation and foliar application of silicon (Si) to improve the …

The temperature increase around the world is leading to generation of drought, which is a
big threat to the productivity of crops. Abiotic stresses like drought increase the ethylene …

Biostimulants such as ascorbic acid (AA) and fulvic acid (FA) can enhance the efficiency of
root-nodulating bacteria. This study investigates optimum concentration of these two …

Application of beneficial microbes in soil is an important avenue to control plant stresses. In
this study, the salinity tolerance of halotolerant bacteria (Bacillus tequilensis) was …

Rhizobium spp. is a well-known microbial plant biostimulant in non-legume crops, but little is
known about the mechanisms by which rhizobia enhance crop productivity under drought …

The sustainability of ornamental crop production is of increasing concern to both producers
and consumers. As resources become more limited, it is important for greenhouse growers …

Soil is living medium and it acts as a precarious reserve in agriculture and food production.
To enhance crop yields for ever-increasing human population, chemical fertilizers are being …

This experiment aimed to evaluate plant growth promoting rhizobia in combination with
biochar for improving the growth and physiology of maize (Zea mays L.). Three rhizobia …

Beneficial endophytic bacteria are well known for plant growth enhancement, induced plant
defense responses and antioxidant activities that confer resistance against various biotic …

Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) have been known to improve soil fixed phosphorus
(P) availability to crop. However, PSB performance under thermal stress is poorly …
