Rhizosphere microbial population and their plant growth-promoting functionality are influenced by soil sodicity and crop diversity

Key Points

• Microbial population directly influences plant growth, enhancing overall soil health.
• Soil sodicity affects microbial functionality, which is crucial for plant development and nutrient absorption.
• Assessment of microbial populations across various crop rotations demonstrates that diversity promotes better soil conditions.
• Understanding these interactions can lead to improved agricultural practices and sustainability.
