Microbial consortia were also effective in mitigating plant abiotic stresses, such as exposure to heavy metals, water deficit and soil salinization Researchers at Federal University of Lavras (UFLA)  report that the use of microbial consortia offers significant benefits for plant growth, surpassing traditional inoculation methods with single species. Recent studies have revealed that the combination of microorganisms like Bradyrhizobium and Pseudomonas oryzihabitans increased soybean yield by 11% in comparison with individually treated plants. The approach also promoted more robust root growth and better nutrient accumulation. Based on a comprehensive literature review, researchers report researcher at the Federal University of Lavras (UFLA) Peterson Nunes explains, consortia involving…
