Sugarcane ( Saccharum officinarum L.) is a strategic crop for the energy sector, but its intensive cultivation requires sustainable management practices. Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) such as Azospirillum brasilense and Nitrospirillum amazonense are known for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen and stimulate growth in grasses. This study evaluated the effects of inoculation with A. brasilense ( Ab ) and N. amazo...

Background Agricultural systems face unprecedented threats from climate change-induced environmental stresses ( e.g., drought, salinity, and heatwaves). These environmental stresses limit crop productivity, degrade soil health, and threaten global food security, highlighting the urgent need for innovative and sustainable solutions. Harnessing soil and plant-associated microbiomes offers transformative potential to enhance plan...
