The use of fungicides to manage disease has led to multiple environmental externalities, including resistance development, pollution, and non-target mortality. Growers have limited options as legacy chemistry is withdrawn from the market. Moreover, fungicides are generally labeled for traditional soil-based production, and not for liquid culture systems.

Article Synopsis
- Phosphate is crucial for plant growth, but only a small fraction is accessible, leading to pollution from excess fertilizer use and environmental issues like algal blooms.
- Research identified five bacteria that can solubilize phosphate, promoting the growth of plants such as tall fescue, pepper, and tomato in greenhouse settings.
- These bacteria, particularly IALR1325, utilize mechanisms like pH reduction through gluconic acid to help make phosphate available for plant uptake and could be key for sustainable agriculture.
Salt-Tolerant Halophyte Rhizosphere Bacteria Stimulate Growth of Alfalfa in Salty Soil.

Halophytes are plants that are adapted to grow in saline soils, and have been widely studied for their physiological and molecular characteristics, but little is known about their associated microbiomes. Bacteria were isolated from the rhizosphere and as root endophytes of and , three native Utah halophytes. A total of 41 independent isolates were identified by 16S rRNA gene sequencing analysis.
