Plants and microbes are co-evolved and interact with each other in nature. Plant-associated
microbes, often referred to as plant microbiota, are an integral part of plant life. Depending …

Phytobial remediation is an innovative tool that uses plants and microbes to mitigate Arsenic
(As) contamination of the environment. Recently, plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) …

Biological control agents (BCAs) are gaining more attention as alternatives to the chemical
pesticides for management of pests and diseases in agricultures. It offers an ecofriendly way …

Constructed wetlands (CWs) have emerged as cost-effective and sustainable treatment
