Key Findings
- The study by the University of Agriculture, Faisalabad, Pakistan, explored the effects of selected microbes and poultry manure on wheat growth in saline soil
- The use of microbial strains and poultry manure significantly improved seedling emergence, physiological attributes, and nutrient uptake in wheat grown in saline soil
- The combined application of microbes and poultry manure mitigated the negative impacts of soil salinity, enhancing wheat growth and yield
