Harnessing PGPRs from Asparagus officinalis to Increase the Growth and Yield of Zea mays L.

ABSTRACT: Microbial biotechnology employs techniques that rely on the natural interactions that occur in ecosystems. Bacteria, including rhizobacteria, play an important role in plant growth, providing crops with an alternative that can mitigate the negative effects of abiotic stress, such as those caused by saline environments, and increase the excessive use of chemical fertilizers. The present study examined the promoting potential of bacterial isolates obtained from the rhizospheric soil and roots of the Asparagus officinalis cultivar UF-157 F2 in Viru, la Libertad, Peru. This region has high soil salinity levels. Seventeen strains were isolated, four of which are major potential plant growth-promoting traits, and were characterized based on their morphological and molecular characteristics. Thes
