 This research examined the effects of two beneficial microorganisms, infixing bacteria and peace-applying arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi, AM fungi on the growth and performance of a drought susceptible and high yielding soybean variety under drought stress. The results showed that dual inoculation of the soybean plants with both microorganisms resulted in increased yields and better physiological parameters such as nutrient uptake, pod weight, and seed weight. Additionally, the inoculated plants had higher levels of chlorophyll and osmolites, higher detoxifying enzyme activities, and higher cell viabilities than those without inoculations. Furthermore, the inoculated plants had greater water use efficiency and higher nutrient accumulation, suggesting that these beneficial microorganisms can help mitigate the negative effects of drought stress on soybean crops.
