Short summary
We explored whether adding basalt and beneficial fungi to soil could improve soil health and crop growth. Basalt improved soil chemistry, confirming its role as a soil improver, while the fungi had little effect. Crop yield remained unchanged, showing that benefits depend on soil type. Our study helps clarify how soil amendments work and when they may support farming and climate solutions.
