Localized co-inoculation of Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma afroharzianum acts synergistically to reshape the root microbiome and improve plant performance in sorghum
Although bacterial-fungal consortia have been investigated for plant growth promotion, their effects on sorghum performance and associated root microbial taxa remain less characterized. Here, we investigated how individual and combined inoculation with Bacillus subtilis and Trichoderma afroharzianum influenced sorghum...

The effectiveness of rhizosphere bacteria isolated from sweet potato (Ipomoea batatas (L.) Lam.) in consortium inoculations and cross-host applications remains poorly understood. Therefore, in this study, we evaluated the cross-host plant growth-promoting efficacy and colonization dynamics of Bacillus sp. RF-12, isolat...
Plant growth–promoting bacteria (PGPB) are increasingly applied to perennial crops, yet their chemical footprints at the root–soil interface remain poorly investigated in species such as olive. In the present study, greenhouse-grown plants of
Olea europaea
L. cv. Leccino were inoculated with
Azospirillum
spp. (...

Introduction Microbial amendments are increasingly used in sustainable crop production, but it remains unclear whether their application is accompanied by coordinated changes in fruit traits, rhizosphere soil conditions, and resident bacterial communities in blueberry cultivation. This study examined whether microbial...

The overuse of chemical fertilizers highlights the need for sustainable alternatives, such as plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). However, bacterial inoculant performance may vary with plant species and growth conditions. This study evaluated the effects of microbial consortia combining Azospirillum brasilense, Pse...
