The growth and quality of medicinal plants are greatly affected by environmental stress, with over half of the world's agricultural land facing water shortages. This research was conducted over two seasons in 2018 and 2019 and aimed to investigate the influence of varying irrigation intervals and...

As a result of global warming related to the development of industry and agriculture, the proportion of atmospheric carbon dioxide has increased, and temperatures have risen to unprecedented levels. As a result, heat stress, aridity, and salinity in soil has increased, leading to significant...

Gastrodia elata, dry tubers of which are processed into traditional medicine Tianma, is a heterotrophic plant species exclusively depending on the fungal species of Armillaria. To identify whether species of Armillaria impact the yield and medicinal quality of G. elata BL. f. elata, we...

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are symbiotically associated with crops. They increase biomass production, nutritional elements, and antioxidant activities in food and vegetable crops grown in soil under stress conditions. The present study focused on the effects of AMF (Acaulospora morrowiae, ...

This study was carried out in order to determine bacterial strains that can be used as biological fertilizer in tea cultivation. The present study assessed possible effects of mineral NPK fertilizer (TF: 80 kg ha^-1 compound 25: 5:10) and ACC deaminase-containing, N₂-fixing, and P-solubilizing 6...

In order to study the effects of γ-polyglutamic acid (γ-PGA) and its fermentation broth as microbial fertilizer on pakchoi growth and soil nutrients, so as to provide basis for chemical fertilizer reduction and sustainable agricultural development, Brassica rapa L.ssp.chinensis L. was taken as the...

Zinc, generally present in insoluble form in the soil, is an essential micronutrient for plants, animals, and human beings and needs to be fortified in the food to save consumers from malnutrition. The present study was conducted to identify and characterize microbes for plant growth and zinc...

The current study aimed to assess the scope of native potential endophytic bacteria Bacillus subtilis KU21, Pseudomonas aeruginosa SI12 and Cedecea lapagei KU14 for synergistic effect to develop as consortium biofertilizer of rosemary. All the three strains were assessed for multiple plant growth...

Potassium (K) and phosphorus (P) are the important macronutrients needed for the plant development, but it is widely present in an insoluble form for the plant's uptake. In order to increase the productivity, biofertilisers play crucial role in plant growth enhancement. Our present work focused to...

Background: Tomato mosaic disease, mainly caused by Tomato mosaic virus (ToMV), is one of the devastating viral diseases which adversely affects tomato yield, globally. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been recently used as bio-elicitors to induce resistance against plant viruses....
