Description
Luis Vera and co-authors review how two kinds of helpful soil microbes support pistachio trees, in a 2026 paper. The nut crop faces rising drought, salt, poor soil food, and disease as the climate shifts. Root fungi and root-zone bacteria each lend the trees a hand in their own way.
The fungi mainly lift phosphorus intake, water ties, and soil build. The bacteria free up soil food, fight plant germs, and wake the tree's own defenses. Both also steady cell salts, save water, and boost stress shields. Most proof so far comes from controlled setups rather than real orchards. The authors name field trials and scale-up as the gaps to close before farm use.
