A two-tiered methodology for the validation of promising plant growth promoting bacteria isolated from durum wheat rhizosphere
The strain 23P (<i>Pseudomonas migulae</i>) showed the best overall performance, with the highest resistance to fungicides and viability in soil; in addition, this microorganism enhanced shoot biomass and nitrogen uptake, increasing shoot-to-root ratio and N:P. The results support a selection strategy that includes both technological characterization and agronomic validation with a comprehensive and holistic approach from lab to field.
