Metagenomics of black pepper (Piper nigrum Linn.) rhizomicrobiome for the development of beneficial and safe bioinoculants

This project is aimed at disentangling the root and rhizospheric soil microbiomes in order to develop bioinoculants as biofertilizers and biocontrol agents for improved productivity and health of black pepper instead of using agrochemicals. This new green product will lead certified organic black pepper, a better environmental and human health.
