Effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on soil bacterial community, soil physicochemical properties, and soil enzyme activity in the rhizosphere of alfalfa under field condition
Plant inoculation with growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is effective for increasing plant growth in agriculture. However, the role of rhizobiome relevant to the plant growth remains unknown. 16S rRNA gene high throughput sequencing techniques were used to analyze the changes in microbial community diversity, composition, and function after PGPR inoculation.
