TL;DR
It is demonstrated that combined PGPR and AMF inoculation represents an effective and sustainable strategy to enhance soil biological functioning, nutrient cycling, and drought tolerance of O. ficus-indica in water limited environments.
Tomato production requires adequate nutrient availability to sustain high yield and biomass production, while efficient nutrient acquisition remains important under reduced fertilizer inputs. The integration of AMF and PGPR offers a potential biological approach to improve nutrient acquisition and plant productivity. A...
