Summary

BACKGROUND: applied as side-dress). RESULTS: uptake and assimilation, transpiration, and water use efficiency, while downregulated oxidative stress. CONCLUSIONS: . Excessive N application, mainly with the presence of beneficial bacteria, can disrupt N-balance in the plant, alter soil and bacteria levels, and ultimately affect plant growth and yield. Hence, highlighting the importance of adequate N management to maximize the benefits of inoculation in agriculture and to counteract N loss from agricultural systems intensification.
