Enhanced Post-Drought Compensatory Growth and Water Utilization in Maize via Rhizosphere Soil Nitrification by Heterotrophic Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria

Enhanced Post-Drought Compensatory Growth and Water Utilization in Maize via Rhizosphere Soil Nitrification by Heterotrophic Ammonia-Oxidizing Bacteria

Heterotrophic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (HAOB), crucial for soil nitrification, have unclear benefits for crop water use. This study explored the impact of a novel HAOB strain, S2_8_1, on maize drought resilience via pot culturing. The experiment included various treatments: control with sufficient...
