Plant-Soil Interactions, 3rd Edition
Topic Information
Dear Colleagues,
Following the successful completion of Volume I and II of “Plant–Soil Interactions” and the great interest in this research topic, we are pleased to announce the launch of Volume III.
Biological fertilizers are substances that contain microorganisms that, when applied to seeds, plant surfaces, or soil, colonize the rhizosphere and promote plant growth by increasing the supply of primary nutrients to the host plant. Research has shown that biofertilizers have different effects in various environments, and even within the same one. A number of scientists have been working on solving this problem, but no perfect solution has yet been found. Despite their satisfactory effects in drier climates, biofertilizers are likely to be better controlled and regulated in all environments in the future. Therefore, it is necessary to enhance knowledge on this subject. The aim of this Topic is therefore to promote research surrounding the use of microorganisms in improving plant growth and protection against biotic and abiotic stresses.

Preprints.org is a multidisciplinary platform offering a preprint service designed to facilitate the early sharing of your research. It supports and empowers your research journey from the very beginning.
MDPI Topics is collaborating with Preprints.org and has established a direct connection between MDPI journals and the platform. Authors are encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity by posting their preprints at Preprints.org prior to publication:
i. Share your research immediately: disseminate your ideas prior to publication and establish priority for your work.
ii. Safeguard your intellectual contribution: Protect your ideas with a time-stamped preprint that serves as proof of your research timeline.
iii. Boost visibility and impact: Increase the reach and influence of your research by making it accessible to a global audience.
iv. Gain early feedback: Receive valuable input and insights from peers before submitting to a journal.
v. Ensure broad indexing: Web of Science (Preprint Citation Index), Google Scholar, Crossref, SHARE, PrePubMed, Scilit and Europe PMC.
