-
Biocontrol Agent: Suppresses soil-borne pathogens (fungi, bacteria) through antibiotics (e.g., phenazines), siderophores, and competition, reducing crop diseases like root rot and wilts.
-
Plant Growth Promotion: Produces growth hormones (e.g., IAA), solubilizes phosphorus/iron, and enhances nutrient uptake, improving root development and crop yield.
-
Sustainable Soil Health: Degrades pollutants, reduces chemical pesticide/fertilizer use, and promotes eco-friendly farming by enhancing soil microbial diversity.
