Improving Crop Yield and Nutrient Use Efficiency via Biofertilization—A Global Meta-analysis

Published in Frontiers in Plant Science

The application of microbial inoculants (biofertilizers) is a promising technology for future sustainable farming systems in view of rapidly decreasing phosphorus stocks and the need to more efficiently use available nitrogen (N). Various microbial taxa are currently used as biofertilizers, based on their capacity to access nutrients from fertilize...
