bioaugmentation

3 articles

Bioaugmentation is the practice of introducing beneficial microorganisms, such as specific bacteria or fungi, into soil or growing systems to enhance biological processes already occurring there. In plant science, it matters because these introduced microbes can improve nutrient availability, boost stress tolerance, and accelerate the breakdown of pollutants in the root zone, supporting healthier growth. This approach offers a targeted way to strengthen plant-microbe interactions, making it valuable for improving crop resilience and remediating contaminated soils.
