Reduced fertilization supplemented with RGM 2450 and RGM 2529 promotes tomato production in a sustainable way.

The rising demand for vegetables has driven the adoption of greenhouse cultivation to guarantee high yields and quality of fresh produce year-round. Consequently, this elevates the demand for fertilizers, whose costs are progressively escalating. RGM 2450 and RGM 2529 are plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR).

Genomic and Experimental Analysis of the Biostimulant and Antagonistic Properties of Phytopathogens of and .

The RGM 2450 and RGM 2529 strains were isolated from the rhizosphere of plants presenting resilience to abiotic and biotic stress conditions. To understand the implications of bacteria in resilience, a genomic and experimental analysis was carried out on their biostimulant and phytopathogenic antagonist properties. Genome analyses of both strains indicated that they have the potential to synthesize bioactive compounds such as the battery of non-ribosomal peptides, polyketides, extracellular enzymes and phytohormones.
