While parametric and AMMI analyses identified NCRIBEN02M as the most stable genotype, the MTSI, which considers multiple traits, ranked Kangarawa as the most ideal.

Therefore, it encourages us to make a clear understanding of microbes and their functions from diverse habitats of soil.

However, due to the emergence of meta-omics approaches, it is now possible to unlock the complete functioning of soil. In contrast, we can explore multiple facts at a time by minimizing barriers associated with molecular soil microbiology.
