Efficiency of a novel endophytic fungus based biofertilizer in enhancing rice productivity and reducing the chemical fertilizer use in saline and non-saline coastal regions of Bangladesh

Enhanced soil salinity is a major constraint to rice production in the coastal regions of Bangladesh. Salinity stress impairs nutrient uptake and induces ionic toxicity and osmotic stress, while excessive use of chemical fertilizers degrades soil health and causes environmental pollution. A novel salt-tolerant endophyt...
