    <ns1:language>en</ns1:language>
    <ns1:description language="en">Abstract: The agricultural industry is constantly searching for new solutions to increase
the productivity and nutritional value of crops under various conditions. Microbial
inoculants have emerged as an alternative to traditional chemical fertilisers
which could enhance crop productivity in acid soils - a major problem
in modern agriculture. The aim of this research was to evaluate the effects of
Bacillus megaterium and Mesorhizobium sp. on the seed germination of bird’s
foot trefoil and orchardgrass under low pH (in vitro), as well as the nutrient
composition of plants grown in acid soil. A positive impact of bacterial inoculation
on seed germination was observed at pH 5 and 6 for both plant species. The
content of macro- and microelements was within the range of optimal values
for both plant species. This research provides valuable insights into the potential
benefits of using bacterial inoculants to improve the seed germination and
nutrient composition of plants grown in acid soils.</ns1:description>
