Abstract

The article focuses on evaluating the effects of exogenous silicon (Si) treatment and inoculation with Bacillus subtilis subsp. subtilis M1 strain on rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis L.) tolerance to low phosphorus (P) availability. The study found that low P availability negatively impacted rosemary growth, phosphorus nutrition, and induced oxidative stress. However, Si supplementation and/or Bacillus subtilis M1 inoculation significantly improved plant biomass, rhizogenesis, phosphorus uptake, acid phosphatase activity, and reduced oxidative damage by enhancing antioxidant enzyme activity and polyphenol accumulation. The combined application of Si and Bacillus subtilis M1 was more effective than individual treatments, suggesting a promising strategy to sustain rosemary growth under phosphorus-deficient conditions.
