Screening of siderophore-producing salt-tolerant rhizobacteria suitable for supporting plant growth in saline soils with iron limitation

Iron (Fe) bioavailability to plants is reduced in saline soils; therefore, plants growing in arid soils face two major challenges for poor crop productivity: high salinity and Fe deficiency.Siderophore-producing plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) could be a promising alternative childrens backpacks to chemical fertilizers that could tackle
