Abstract
The fast rising human population calls for new methods to enhance agricultural production because classical methods such as the excessive use of mineral fertilizers are not sustainable. For instance, recent advances in microbial ecology reveal that many microbial properties can be tuned to favor plant health with positive effects on nutrients availability, root growth enhancement, toxin neutralization, providing resistance to various diseases, enduring stresses such as heat, flood, and drought. Here we review microbial strategies that favor plant health, with focus on the plant-associated microbiome and the use of the soil microbiome for management. Rhizosphere properties influence crop yields through production of exopolysaccharide for soil aggregation, alleviation of crop stress, enhancement of nutrient uptake by soil microbes, and efficient nitrogen mineralization and phosphate solubilization. Plant-microbe interactions increase colonization of plant-beneficial bacteria, which promotes enhanced root growth and phytoremediation.
