Plant–microbes interactions in enhanced fertilizer-use efficiency (2009, unknown): “Aseri et al. (2008) conducted experiments in the field in India and assessed the effectiveness of PGPR (Azotobacter chroococcum and A. brasilence) and AMF (Glomus mosseae and G. fasciculatum) on the growth, nutrient uptake, and biomass production of pomegranate (Punica granatum L.).”
Effects of plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungus on plant growth, stevioside, NPK, and chlorophyll content of Stevia rebaudiana (2014, background): “Aseri et al. (2008) attributed this to the increased N, P levels, resulting from improved biological N fixation (BNF) and phosphatase activity.”
Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria Allow Reduced Application Rates of Chemical Fertilizers (2009, background): “For example, previous reports have suggested positive impacts of microbes on N uptake involving nonlegume biological fixation [4, 13, 22, 37, 41].”
Efficacy of Biofertilizers: Challenges to Improve Crop Production (2016, background): “In non-legumes, nutrients uptake comparable to chemically fertilized plants have been reported with dual inoculations involving AMF and freeliving N-fi xing bacteria (Adesemoye et al. 2008 ; Barea et al. 2002 ; Lisette et al. 2003 ; Wang et al. 2011 ), also under dry conditions (Aseri et al. 2008 ).”
