Teaming with Bacteria: The Organic Gardener’s Guide to Endophytic Bacteria
Teaming with Bacteria not only elucidates the rhizophagy cycle but also demonstrates how to utilize this remarkable process to boost plant productivity and health. Endophytic bacteria play a crucial role in enhancing a plant’s tolerance to both abiotic and biotic stresses while controlling pathogens.
This knowledge is essential for effectively addressing challenges such as climate change, soil degradation, and the need to feed a rapidly growing population. Gardeners, farmers, and other cultivators must adapt and develop best practices to optimize the efficiency of the rhizophagy cycle and ensure that beneficial endophytic bacteria function effectively.
