Comparative Efficacy of Seed and Soil Inoculation in Soybean Unveiling the Dominant Role of Soil Microbial Activity in Drought Mitigation
Drought stress severely negatively affects the growth and yield of soybean (Glycine max L.) by causing oxidative damage and suppressing physiological functions. While plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) alleviates these effects, the comparative effectiveness of different inoculation techniques has not been adeq...
