Three-year field evaluation of a rhizobacterial consortium improving maize growth and yield under reduced N-fertilization and modulating soil respiration.
Ensuring global food security while protecting soil health requires sustainable agricultural innovations, such as the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). However, excessive nitrogen fertilization in semi-arid maize systems contributes to soil salinization, groundwater contamination, and declining nutrie...
