Drought-tolerant P-solubilizing consortia, when combined with intercropping systems, have the potential to significantly improve plants’ resilience to abiotic stresses such as water scarcity. This synergistic approach may not only benefit the current crop cycle but also leave a lasting positive impact on subsequent cropping cycles. By enhancing nutrient availability and stress tolerance, these consortia offer a promising strategy for sustainable and resilient agricultural practices.
