The global agricultural industry faces a myriad of challenges, from fluctuating climate conditions to the growing demand for food production and the depletion of soil nutrients. In response to these challenges, agricultural researchers are increasingly turning to alternative methods to enhance crop yield, improve seedling health, and increase the nutritional value of crops. One promising area of research is the use of probiotics as biostimulants and biofortifiers in seed germination. Probiotics, typically associated with promoting gut health in humans and animals, have been found to have several beneficial effects on plant growth and development. When applied to seeds, these beneficial microorganisms can enhance germination rates, stimulate root development, improve resistance to stress, and even increase the nutritional content of crops.
