Facilitation of phosphorus uptake in maize plants by mycorrhizosphere bacteria

Abstract A major challenge for agriculture is to provide sufficient plant nutrients such as phosphorus (P) to meet the global food demand. The sufficiency of P is a concern because of it’s essential role in plant growth, the finite availability of P-rock for fertilizer production and the poor plant...
