“…The nitrogen fixation process not only enhances the growth of the plant but also the fertility of the soil, reducing the need for synthetic nitrogen fertilizers (Jhu & Oldroyd, 2023 ).

For example, certain PGPMs produce osmoprotectants that help plants cope with water scarcity during drought conditions (Fadiji et al., 2022 ).…”
