Beneficial microbial inoculants may provide a sustainable approach to improve plant performance under reduced\u2010input cultivation; however, their effectiveness in peat\u2010reduced hydroponic environments remains poorly understood. This study evaluated the effects of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF;\n                    <jats:italic>Rhizophagus irregularis<\/jats:italic>\n                    ) and nitrogen\u2010fixing bacteria (NFB;\n                    <jats:styled-content style=\"fixed-case\">\n                      <jats:italic>Azospirillum brasilense<\/jats:italic>\n                    <\/jats:styled-content>\n                    ), applied individually and in combination, on growth, productivity, resource\u2010use efficiency, and substrate nutrient dynamics of tomato grown under restricted fertigation in a peat\u2010reduced hydroponic system. NFB primarily enhanced vegetative growth, increasing leaf number by 11.7% and shoot fresh weight by 40%. AMF increased total fruit weight by 46% and exerted a significant positive main effect on WUE and NUE. Co\u2010inoculation produced the highest numerical responses, increasing shoot and root fresh biomass by 48% and 74%, fruit number by 80%, fruit weight by 77% and co\u2010inoculation increased substrate nitrate (NO\n                    <jats:sub>3<\/jats:sub>\n                    <jats:sup>\u2212<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) and potassium (K\n                    <jats:sup>+<\/jats:sup>\n                    ) concentrations by 45% and 21%, respectively, compared with the control. Although co\u2010inoculation frequently produced the greatest numerical responses, interaction effects were generally limited, indicating complementary rather than strongly synergistic functions between the two microbial groups. Fruit quality characteristics, including total soluble solids and marketable fruit percentage, were not significantly affected by microbial treatments. Overall, these findings demonstrate complementary roles of AMF and\n                    <jats:italic>A. brasilens<\/jats:italic>\n                    under peat\u2010reduced cultivation, highlighting the potential of microbial inoculants to support more sustainable, low\u2010input greenhouse production systems.\n                  <\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1002\/pei3.70205","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,24]],"date-time":"2026-08-24T04:38:01Z","timestamp":1787546281000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi and\n                    <i>Azospirillum brasilense<\/i>\n                    Enhance Growth and Resource Use Efficiency of Tomato Under Resource\u2010Limited Peat\u2010Reduced Cultivation"],"prefix":"10.1002","volume":"7","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0009-5099-3550","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ruvini","family":"Ranasingha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Agriculture, Animal and Environmental Sciences Anglia Ruskin University Writtle  Chelmsford UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0009-0007-5862-7905","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Aditya","family":"Prathipati","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"School of Agriculture, Animal and Environmental Sciences Anglia Ruskin University Writtle  Chelmsford UK"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,23]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_10_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.scienta.2024.112969"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.jksus.2013.05.001"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.19189\/001c.128260"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3390\/agronomy11061236"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3389\/fhort.2025.1657037"},{"key":"e_1_2_10_7_1","volume-title":"Climate Change 2022: Impacts, Adaptation and Vulnerability.
