This study investigated the effectiveness of PGP-Streptomyces in commercial greenhouses growing bell peppers. The strains tested increased green pepper yields by up to 26% and improved the sensory qualities of orange peppers. They also reduced nitrate levels by 32–41%, raised micronutrient content, and enhanced defense gene expression and antioxidant enzyme activity. These findings suggest that PGP-Streptomyces have significant potential for improving greenhouse pepper production.
Streptomyces consortium improved quality attributes of bell pepper fruits, induced plant defense priming, and changed microbial communities of rhizosphere under commercial greenhouse conditions
