Well, I see the need for a correction to my post.

I emphasized the rhizosphere and the phyllosphere as
places to focus organic agricultural practices like
compost teas and IMO's.

So when I came across the following article, "Endophytic
Microorganisms: A Review on Insect Control and
Recent Advances on Tropical Plants" I just added it
to my phyllosphere resources.

Yet, endophytic vs ephiphytic didn't sound right on
so I went back and actually read part of this 32-page
article.

Indeed, these are endophytes, they live inside the plant
and colonize internal host tissues, etc.

So, it's not as directly relevant, but still an interesting article
about another group of plant-microbes.
