Soilless cultivation represent a valid opportunity for the agricultural production sector,
especially in areas characterized by severe soil degradation and limited water availability …

Siderophores are organic compounds with low molecular masses that are produced by
microorganisms and plants growing under low iron conditions. The primary function of these …

Despite increasing evidence that plant diversity in experimental systems may enhance

Heavy metals in agricultural soils exist in diverse dissolved (free cations and complexed
species of positive, neutral, or negative charges), particulate (sorbed, structural, and …

Root exudates play a major role in the mobilization of sparingly soluble nutrients in the
rhizosphere. Since the amount and composition of major metabolites in root exudates from …

Plants release a multitude of organic compounds into the rhizosphere, some of which are
flavonoids. These products of secondary metabolism are mainly studied for their antioxidant …

Poor iron (F e) availability in soil represents one of the most important limiting factors of
agricultural production and is closely linked to physical, chemical and biological processes …

This experiment has been designed to assess the effects of consortium and individual strain
on growth promotion, biocontrol and nutrient uptake by wheat growing in Punjab. Fifteen …

Iron is an essential element for plants and microbes. However, in most cultivated soils, the
concentration of iron available for these living organisms is very low because its solubility is …
