Soybean productivity can be enhanced by understanding rhizosphere microbiota: evidence from metagenomics analysis from diverse agroecosystems

202516 citationsOpen accessDamanhour University

Abstract

This study provides a comprehensive understanding of the diversity and functional potential of rhizosphere microbiota in enhancing soybean productivity. The findings underscore the importance of integrating microbial community dynamics into crop management strategies to optimize nutrient cycling, plant health, and yield. While this study identifies key microbial taxa with potential functional roles, future research should focus on isolating and validating these microorganisms for their bioremediation and biofertilization activities under field conditions. This will provide actionable insights for developing microbial-based agricultural interventions to improve crop resilience and sustainability. Video Abstract.
