Microbial consortia and drought tolerance- A paradigm shift towards agro-ecological sustainability

Key Points

• Improved drought tolerance observed, indicating the potential of microbial consortia in agriculture.
• Analysis of microbial interactions shows enhanced soil health through plant growth-promoting bacteria.
• Increased resilience to drought conditions highlights the importance of ecological methods in farming.
• These findings suggest a paradigm shift towards more sustainable agricultural practices, potentially reducing reliance on chemical fertilizers.
