- Environmental extremes like high salt levels threaten agriculture, prompting research on using halophilic microbes to help plants cope with salt stress.
- The study evaluated the impacts of these microbes on sunflower crops under salt stress, focusing on factors like photosystem activity and nitrogen assimilation.
- Results showed that microbial treatment improved plant performance by enhancing chlorophyll efficiency, nitrogen availability, and overall resilience against salt stress.
