Evaluation of plant growth promoting activity and heavy metal tolerance of psychrotrophic bacteria associated with maca (<em>Lepidium meyenii</em> Walp.) rhizosphere

Evaluation of plant growth promoting activity and heavy metal tolerance of psychrotrophic bacteria associated with maca (<em>Lepidium meyenii</em> Walp.) rhizosphere

The high Andean plateau of Peru is known to suffer harsh environmental conditions. Acidic soils containing high amount of heavy metals due to mining activities and withstanding very low temperatures affect agricultural activities by diminishing crop quality and yield. In this context, plant growth p...
