Maintaining soil health is fundamental to sustaining agricultural productivity, however, the intricate role of microbial diversity in this process not fully understood. Current research acknowledges that microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and archaea are pivotal driving essential functions such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, disease suppression. However, impacts global environmental changes intensive practices on these remain a critical gap literature. This significant because decline could severely compromise health, consequently crop productivity. Here, we provide comprehensive review factors influencing examine their implications for performance. We assess both natural pH, moisture, temperature, vegetation type well human-induced tillage systems fertilizer application.

Phosphorus Release from Nano-Hydroxyapatite Derived from Biowastes in the Presence of Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria: A Soil Column Experiment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown

Published: Feb. 7, 2025

Phosphorus applications in agriculture can lead to significant environmental impacts, necessitating a revolution current agricultural practices. This study explores the potential of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAPs) synthesized from poultry bones as P fertilizers. nHAPs were produced at 300 °C (nHAP300) and 700 (nHAP700), their effectiveness was evaluated. An vitro solubilization test with Pseudomonas alloputida evaluated bacterium's ability solubilize nanoparticles, assessing dissolved organic acids produced. Additionally, soil leaching measured losses bioavailable compared conventional fertilizer, triple superphosphate (TSP). nHAP300 displayed heterogeneous sizes, while nHAP700 approximately 100 nm size, content 8.8% 19.4%, respectively. successfully solubilized both types demonstrating higher solubility than nHAP300. The TSP treatment resulted (6.35 mg) nHAP treatments (nHAP300 0.32 mg; 0.28 mg), indicating for recycling waste. Our findings indicate that are more efficient release but less prone Utilizing these enables phosphorus recovery waste holds sustainable applications.

Sustainable Agriculture Through Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms

Advances in environmental engineering and green technologies book series, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: unknown, P. 257 - 288

Published: April 4, 2025

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, but its low availability in soil often limits crop yields. Although abundant soil, much of the phosphorus exists insoluble forms, rendering it inaccessible to plants. Farmers address this issue with chemical fertilizers, their excessive use poses environmental risks and undermines sustainability. A promising alternative phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, such as biofertilizers, which enhance while reducing reliance on inputs. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) convert phosphate into soluble improving uptake by When applied or plants, these fertility, boost productivity, support sustainable agriculture. This book chapter explores role growth advancing eco-friendly farming practices.
