    Citation Excerpt :

    Soil microbial population is an important antibiotic as well as other xenobiotic degraders (Daam et al., 2019). Current research has focused on understanding the role of microbial diversity on ecosystem functions (Griffin et al., 2017; Glick, 2018; Maron et al., 2018; Trivedi et al., 2019), providing valuable information on soil microbiome contribution (Van Elsas et al., 2012; Philippot et al., 2013). The role of soil microorganisms was elucidated for global ecosystem functions, such as those related to carbon and nitrogen cycles (Cardinale et al., 2006, 2011), which have high functional redundancy in the environment, but little is known for more specific ecosystem functions, such as for degradation of pesticides and other organic pollutants (Cravo-Laureau et al., 2011; Hernandez-Raquet et al., 2013).

    Citation Excerpt :

    It should be highlighted that during inoculation, parameters such as plant type, soil type and microbiome should be considered as there are chances of competition between inoculants and the resident microbiota which may lead to reduced inoculant population. Such inconsistencies were highlighted in a comparative study carried out in greenhouse experiments and field trials [90]. The native community of the soil presents a key obstacle where inocula sometimes strive to find a vacant ecological role in the soil.
