On-Farm Consortium Increases Vigor in Native Plant Seedlings

Abstract This study aimed to test the hypothesis that native microbial consortia, particularly arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) assembled on-farm, would enhance seedling vigor and restructure rhizosphere microbiomes of Atlantic Forest tree species more effectively than bacteria...

Cultivable diversity and plant growth-promoting traits of free-living bacteria from coffee soils under contrasting fertilization systems

Abstract Brazilian coffee production relies heavily on mineral fertilizers, particularly nitrogen-based inputs. However, the intensive use of these fertilizers is associated with nutrient losses, elevated production costs, and environmental impacts, highlighting the need for more...
