| Abstract |
Agricultural production-a major contributing factor towards global food supply-is highly reliant on field crops which are under severe threats ranging from poor soil quality, biotic, abiotic stresses and changing climatic conditions. To overcome these challenges, larger exertions are required to boost production of agricultural crops in a defensible mode. Since the evolution of fertilizers and pesticides, global crop productivity has experienced an unprecedented elevation, but at the cost of environmental and ecological unsustainability. To enhance the agricultural outputs in a sustainable way, the novel and eco-friendly strategies must be employed in agriculture, which would lead to reduced use of hazardous chemicals. Thus, the utilization of our knowledge about natural growth stimulators can lead to decrease reliance on fertilizers and pesticide which are widely used for increasing crop productivity. Among beneficial microbes, plant growth promoting bacteria offers excellent opportunities for their wide utilization in agriculture to manage soil quality and other factors which correspond to limited growth and yield output of major field crops. The aim of this review is to examine the potential role of plant growth stimulating bacteria in soil fertility and enabling crops to cope with biotic and abiotic challenges. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 8. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 23 October 2020.
All research outputs
#4,050,048
of 23,544,633 outputs
Outputs from Plant Cell Reports
#247
of 2,228 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#77,480
of 336,753 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Plant Cell Reports
#7
of 27 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,544,633 research outputs across all sources so far. Compared to these this one has done well and is in the 82nd percentile: it's in the top 25% of all research outputs ever tracked by Altmetric.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,228 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 4.1. This one has done well, scoring higher than 88% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 336,753 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 27 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
