Researchers found that using a combo of beneficial fungi (AMF) and bacteria (PGPR) significantly boosts the growth and health of poblano pepper plants. The study showed that this biofertilizer combo led to a 35% increase in plant height, 66% more leaves, and a 195% higher phosphorus content compared to plants without these microorganisms. It also improved gas exchange in the plants, making them more efficient at photosynthesis and overall growth.
