Biofertilizers: assessing the effects of plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) or rhizobacteria (PGPR) on soil and plant health

Sustainable agricultural management practices include the use of beneficial microorganisms, such as mycorrhizal fungi, rhizobia and other plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) or rhizobacteria (PGPR), to support plant protection and nutrition and assist water conservation. Today, these beneficial microorganisms (i.e. arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), PGPB or PGPR) are considered a key factor for managing crop productions.
