The efficiency of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) may not be consistently maintained under field conditions due to the influence of soil microbial communities. The present study aims to investigate their impact on three PGPR-based biofertilizers in wheat. We used the PGPR sp.

The overuse of synthetic fertilizers has led to soil degradation. In a more sustainable approach, alternative methods based on biological interactions, such as plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPRs), are being explored.
