Abstract Sustainable and resilient crop production is facing many challenges. The restoration of natural reactive silicon cycles offers an opportunity to improve sustainability through reducing phosphorus fertilizer use increase crops’ resilience drought stress pests. We therefore call upon farmers, agri-food-researchers, policymakers pave the road for transforming agriculture a silicon-improved sustainable production, which represents promising approach achieve food security under global change.

The soil microbiome plays a pivotal role in the functioning and resilience of agricultural ecosystems, contributing to critical processes such as organic matter decomposition, nutrient cycling, plant growth promotion. However, is constantly challenged by various environmental stresses, including drought, heavy metal contamination, salinity, climate change, which can significantly disrupt delicate balance ecosystem. In this context, application silicon (Si) has emerged promising strategy mitigate adverse effects these stresses on microbiome. This review paper synthesizes current understanding impacts explores potential Si mitigating agent enhancing microbial community. Silicon enhance through several mechanisms, increasing pH, improving water availability uptake, altering root exudation patterns physiology, directly stimulating abundance, diversity, functional key groups. By microbiome, help maintain ecosystem services provided microorganisms, ultimately sustainability productivity systems. also highlights future research aspects, elucidating precise mechanisms Si-microbiome interactions, evaluating long-term resilience, optimizing strategies for specific crop-soil systems, integrating management with other sustainable practices, assessing microbiome-mediated services.

Despite the essential role of nitrogen fertilizers in achieving high crop yields, current application practices often exhibit low efficiency. Optimizing (N) fertilization agriculture is, therefore, critical for enhancing productivity while ensuring sustainable food production. This study investigates effects nitrification inhibitors (Nis) such as Dimethyl Pyrazole Phosphate (DMPP) and Fulvic Acid (DMPFA), plant growth-promoting bacteria inoculation, phosphorus (P) on soil-plant-microbe system maize. DMPFA is an organic inhibitor that combines DMP fulvic acid benefits both compounds a chelator. A comprehensive rhizobox experiment was conducted, employing varying levels P, inoculant types, Nis, to analyze influence these factors various soil properties, maize fitness, phenotypic traits, including root architecture exudate profile. Additionally, examined treatments bacterial fungal communities within rhizosphere roots. Our results showed use Nis improved nutrition biomass. For example, significantly efficiency by up 29%, increased P content 37%, raised concentration shoot 26%, compared traditional ammonium treatments. The microbial inhabiting roots were also highly influenced different Among them, N treatment major driver shaping compartments. Notably, reduced abundance groups involved process. Moreover, we observed each experimental employed this investigation could select, promote, or reduce specific beneficial detrimental microorganisms. Overall, our highlight intricate interplay between amendments, communities, nutrient dynamics, suggesting particularly DMPFA, be pivotal bolstering agricultural sustainability optimizing utilization.
