Share
-
Plant Growth Promotion: Produces phytohormones (e.g., auxins, gibberellins) and solubilizes nutrients like phosphorus, enhancing root development, germination, and crop yield.
-
Biocontrol of Pathogens: Suppresses fungal/bacterial pathogens (e.g., Fusarium, Rhizoctonia) via antibiotic compounds (e.g., surfactin) and competition, reducing diseases like root rot and blight.
-
Stress Resilience & Soil Health: Improves plant tolerance to drought, salinity, and heavy metals while enriching soil fertility through organic matter decomposition and microbial activity.
