Summary
This narrative review examines the role of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in enhancing agricultural resilience to climate change. The authors synthesise evidence on PGPR-mediated mechanisms including enhanced nutrient acquisition, phytohormone production, and stress tolerance, positioning microbial inoculants as a sustainable agronomic strategy to buffer crop performance under increasing environmental variability.
Regional applicability
PGPR approaches are applicable to UK farming under increasing climatic variability, though efficacy will depend on soil conditions, crop type, and inoculant strain selection. Integration into UK organic and regenerative farming systems warrants further field validation under temperate maritime conditions.
Key measures
Likely includes crop yield, drought tolerance, pathogen resistance, nutrient uptake efficiency, root colonisation, and stress-related physiological markers
Outcomes reported
The paper likely reviews evidence on how plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) enhance crop performance, stress tolerance, and productivity under climate variability. It probably synthesises findings on PGPR mechanisms and their potential to reduce agricultural vulnerability to climatic extremes.
