The current farming practices also harm the food chain and ecosystem functioning. Applying beneficial microbial inoculants is one of the various techniques suggested to combat this widespread agricultural issue sustainably and mitigate the detrimental effects of the climate change. Beneficial microorganisms used as inoculants not only promote plant growth by addressing nutrient needs but also contribute significantly to manage environmental challenges. These microorganisms produce different …
