1 Endophytes in Mineral Nutrient …

1.3 Conclusions
In current scenario, due to the abundant use of synthetic chemicals on crops,
the sustainability of agriculture systems has distorted; the cost of cultivation has
increased at a high rate; the income of farmers stagnated, and the provision of food
security and safety has become a frightening challenge.
For these reasons, estimation and re-investigation of the endeavors of endophytes
via mineral nutrient mineralization become important. The harmless inputs in safeguarding soil health and the quality of crop products are holding the inspiration to
scientists to re-discover multi-faceted roles of endophytes in plant interaction and
benefits to agriculture. The use of endophytes is a relevant strategy for the efficient
and rational use of agricultural resources with minimal effects of adverse environmental impacts that may boost water resources, ecosystems, or the quality of human
life.
