Summary

Using efficient rhizospheric microbes as bio-inoculants is a key factor in promoting agricultural sustainability, as these microbes have been shown to enhance plant growth promotion and crop productivity. Soil microbial communities offer numerous benefits to crops, including improved nutrient uptake efficiency, phytohormone production, improved soil structure, nutrient balance, enhanced plant and soil health, protection against soil borne phyto-pathogens and increased plant resilience to abiotic and biotic stresses. These characteristics of rhizospheric microbes have attracted researcher's attention, as using these microbes individually or in consortia has enhanced soil fertility as well as soil heatlh in a eco-friendly manner. Further, the utilization of multi-omics techniques for explori
