A novel microbial agent reduces soil paclobutrazol residue, enhances enzyme activities and increases <i>Ophiopogon japonicus</i> production

This study demonstrates the dual role of MYSH as both an environmental remediation agent and a crop productivity enhancer for the first time. By reducing paclobutrazol residue and enhancing soil health and crop production, MYSH shows great potential for broader application in sustainable agricultural practices. This research highlights the efficacy of microbial agents in addressing agrochemical contamination and promoting sustainable farming, providing a valuable contribution to the development of eco-friendly agricultural solutions.
