Over the past decade, significant efforts have focused on mitigating water scarcity’s impact on maize growth through plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) and soil water retainers (e.g., biochar and hydrogels). Biochar has proven effective in enhancing soil structure, improving aggregation, and increasing water use efficiency, while hydrogels significantly boost maize biomass by improving soil moisture retention and nutrient availability. These strategies may offer promising solutions for sustaining maize production under water-scarce conditions.
