Bacillus from the Brazilian Caatinga biome enhances maize productivity and agronomic performance under rainfed conditions across multi-location field trials
Drought stress is among the most critical limitations to maize productivity, particularly under rainfed conditions. In this study, we explored the Brazilian Caatinga biome as a source of drought adapted plant growth-promoting bacteria and evaluated their potential to mitigate drought effects in maize (Zea mays L.). A t...
