Characterization of nitrogen-fixing bacteria isolated from strawberry rhizosphere and their potency to increase seedling growth

Characterization of nitrogen-fixing bacteria from strawberry rhizosphere

Scientists successfully isolated and characterized nitrogen-fixing bacteria from strawberry rhizosphere, proving their ability to enhance seedling growth. These beneficial microbes support sustainable farming by reducing dependency on synthetic fertilizers, contributing to SDG 12 (Responsible Consumption and Production) and SDG 15 (Life on Land).

By harnessing natural microbial communities, farmers can improve soil health, plant resilience, and productivity. This study opens new opportunities for eco-friendly biofertilizers in horticultural crops like strawberries. https://doi.org/10.13057/biodiv/d260445
