Question
Special Issue Information
Plant microbial interactions can be done through various numbers of direct and indirect mechanisms such as nutrient transfer (stemming from vitamin or siderophore production; enzymatic decomposition of litter in soil; atmospheric nitrogen fixation; conversion of inorganic minerals to soluble components, especially phosphorous), direct stimulation of growth via phytohormones such as indole acetic acid and ethylene, mitigation of salt stress, and antagonism toward pathogenic microorganisms. Microbial diversity has been directly linked to above-ground diversity in a number of agricultural, horticultural, and natural settings. Diverse components released by different parts of the root system create a wonderful and unique environment in the surrounding soil, which is known as the rhizosphere. These components are termed as root exudates and belong to three main groups: high-molecular weight, low-molecular weight, and volatile organic compounds. The types of microorganisms within a rhizosphere include fungi, bacteria, algae, and actinomycetes. Microorganisms and their products also influence the roots in a variety of negative, positive, and neutral ways. Interestingly, microbial density was proved to non-linearly influence plant production, while increasing microbial density has been shown to boost plant biomass. Microorganisms take an active role in the growth of specific species using hormone production, as indoleacetic acid, or indole-3-acetic acid, is a plant hormone produced in the apex or buds and new leaves of young plants. In addition to decreasing stress effects, plant–microbial interactions affect the plant disease state or diversity of soil pathogens. Free-living microbes including filamentous fungi of the genus Trichoderma and a variety of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are able to suppress soil-borne plant pathogens and stimulate plant growth by various direct or indirect mechanisms, such as production of mycoparasitism, phytohormones, and competence with plant pathogens; decomposition; and mineralization of organic matter and increasing the bioavailability of mineral nutrients such as iron and phosphorus. This Special Issue focuses on the functions and roles of different types of microbes and their interactions with plants through a number of direct or indirect mechanisms, as well as how plant–microbe interactions act on plant growth, what mechanisms they use to survive under stressful environmental conditions, and how the interactions and abiotic parameters can interfere with the success of microbial inoculation in plants, acting as a basis for studies on plant–microorganism interactions. When the underlying mechanisms of plant–microbe interactions are properly investigated, modulation, manipulation, and inoculation strategies can be developed to realize crop growth, increased yield, and pathogen control.

Question
Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The growing need for food production through sustainable cultivation practices, without reducing crop yield and producer income, is a major objective due to increased environmental pollution and the gradual degradation of cultivated soils. Various compounds with bioactive properties can be utilized as biostimulants to boost plant growth and development under normal and stressful conditions. So far, six distinct categories of biostimulants have been recognized, including microbial inoculants; humic substances, such as humic and fulvic acids; protein hydrolysates and amino acids; biopolymers; inorganic compounds; and seaweed extracts, all of which are commercially available with wide applications in agriculture. The most important biostimulant effects on crops are the acceleration of crop establishment, the improvement in nutrient uptake and nutrients use efficiency, the induction of tolerance to biotic and abiotic stressors, the improvement in seed germination, the increase in shelf life of perishable products, the reduction in nutrients leaching, the improvement in root development, the removal of heavy metals from contaminated soils, the improvement in crop performance, the stimulation of the immune system of plants, the improvement in visual quality of final products, and the induction of the biosynthesis of plant defensive biomolecules. Different classification approaches have been suggested so far, based either on the origin of each biostimulant, such as biological or non-biological, microbial and non-microbial, or on the mode of action which divides biostimulants into phytohormonal and non-phytohormonal ones.
This Special Issue focuses on the roles and functions of different types of biostimulants on different agricultural and horticultural crops within the framework of sustainable crop management, aiming to gather critical and important information regarding their positive effects on plant growth and final yield, as well as their impacts on the quality of the final product. Furthermore, the major limitations of these practices as well as the future prospects of biostimulant studies will be presented.
