Soil microbial communities play a vital role in enhancing soil and plant health by regulating nutrient cycling, boosting protection against plant pathogens, forming beneficial symbioses, facilitating resource sharing with plants, and more. In recent years, efforts have focused on promoting these benefits by inoculating soils with beneficial bacteria or fungi. These inoculations are believed to improve plant productivity and soil health, but do they work in a practical setting? Join us in this webinar to hear from leading experts about the latest advances in soil inoculation, its effectiveness, and the future of this field.
