Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi and accompanying microbiome + PGPB inoculations
Plant growth-promoting microbes (PGPM) are promising biostimulants to enhance plant growth, reduce agricultural inputs, and promote sustainable production practices. The PGPM can be a single microbial species or a mix of microbes. In this study, we investigated the effect of beneficial single bacterial species and a mix of arbuscular mycorrhiza (AMF) species plus their accompanying microbiome (AMFc) sourced from a wild chrysanthemum relative, on a commercial chrysanthemum cultivar.
