Drought is one of the major constraints on agricultural productivity worldwide and is likely to
further increase. Several adaptations and mitigation strategies are required to cope with …

Approximately 5.2 billion hectare agriculture land are affected by erosion, salinity and soil
degradation. Salinity stress has significantly affecting the fertile lands, and therefore …

As one of the major non–biological stresses, soil salinity negatively affects agricultural
productivity, microbial communities, and agricultural economics in impacted areas and is a …

Salinity stress is one of the major abiotic stresses limiting crop production in arid and semi-
arid regions. Interest is increasing in the application of PGPRs (plant growth promoting …

Although drought is an increasing problem in agriculture, the contribution of the root‐
associated bacterial microbiome to plant adaptation to water stress is poorly studied. We …

Among the environmental factors, soil salinity is one of the most detrimental factors affecting
plant growth and productivity. Nutritional-imbalance is also known as one of the negative …

Arid and semi-arid soils are characterized by nutrient deficiency and water scarcity,
declining soil quality and climate regimes that are unfavorable for crop production. These …

Plants forage soil for water and nutrients, whose distribution is patchy and often dynamic. To
improve their foraging activities, plants have evolved mechanisms to modify the …

Drought is one of the major abiotic stresses accepted as the main constraint for loss of the
crop yield worldwide. Further, problems are created by nutrient limitations particularly low …

Arsenic (As) uptake by plants is largely influenced by the presence of microbial consortia
and their interactions with As. In the coastal region of Bengal deltaic plain of Eastern India …
