soil-microbiome-and-biostimulants

9 articles

Soil microbiome and biostimulants research explores how microbial communities in the rhizosphere—including bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms—interact with plant roots to influence growth, nutrition, and stress resilience. Biostimulants, which include microbial inoculants, humic substances, and plant extracts, can enhance these beneficial interactions to improve nutrient uptake, disease resistance, and overall crop performance. Understanding these relationships is transforming sustainable agriculture by offering biological alternatives to synthetic fertilizers and pesticides.
