Description
In order to meet the rising need for food around the world, more sustainable agriculture practices need to be created. These practices should ensure increased production and yield stability. Adverse abiotic conditions can result in significant reductions in crop yields, posing a significant challenge to agriculture. To address this issue and meet the growing global food demands, it is crucial to enhance crop’s ability to withstand multiple stress factors and reduce the negative impacts of abiotic stressors. The association between plant and microbial biostimulants helps in plant growth and soil health under abiotic stress conditions. Several different microorganisms can be used as biostimulants to mitigate abiotic stresses. The use of biostimulants is a cost-effective and environmentally beneficial approach to increase immune system. The biostimulant abilities demonstrated by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) constitute a …
