Microbial consortium inoculant increases pasture grasses yield in low-phosphorus soil by influencing root morphology, rhizosphere carboxylate exudation and mycorrhizal colonisation.

Microbial consortium inoculant can positively influence pasture production in low-P soil by increasing root surface area and fine root length, whereas exudation of nutrient-mobilising carboxylates (citrate) is dependent more on soil P supply than microbial consortium inoculant. © 2021 Society of Chemical Industry.
