Review shows plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria enhance nutrient uptake and stress tolerance in agricultural crops, highlighting their capacity to reduce chemical inputs.
Key Points
Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria enhance plant growth by increasing nutrient availability, producing phytohormones, and conferring abiotic stress tolerance.
Review of microbial formulations assesses nano-encapsulation technology and genetic tools, targeting inconsistent bacterial performance across diverse soils.
Supports integrating microbial biofertilizers into integrated pest management frameworks, though inconsistent field performance poses adoption challenges.
