Microbial crop health studies explore the relationship between soil microbes and plant health. Microorganisms such as bacteria, fungi, and viruses play a significant role in plant growth by enhancing nutrient availability, improving soil structure, and protecting plants from pathogens. Understanding the dynamics between these microbes and plants helps researchers develop natural solutions to enhance crop resilience and productivity. For instance, beneficial microbes can be introduced to the soil to promote plant growth or to combat harmful pathogens. This field is integral to sustainable agriculture practices, as it offers environmentally friendly alternatives to chemical pesticides and fertilizers, fostering a healthier ecosystem for both crops and soil.
