An effective, practical, and sustainable nutritional crop supplementation strategy for crops is achievable through the application of biostimulants, which can also mitigateenvironmental issues associated with excessive fertilization. Plants benefit from biostimulants when their metabolism increased, leads to higher yields improved quality crops; it protects plants stress caused by water shortage, soil salinization, suboptimal growth temperatures; promotes plant increasing nutrient absorption. In addition, enhances fertility nurturing development complementary microbes, enhancing enzymatic microbial activity, changing root architecture, micronutrient solubility mobility, architecture. It possible categorize as microbial, such arbuscular mycorrhizae fungi (AMF), plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), nonpathogenic fungi, protozoa, nematodes, or nonmicrobial, seaweed extract, phosphite, humic acid, other inorganic salts, chitin chitosan derivatives, protein hydrolysates, free amino acids, complex organic materials. important agriculture cultivate better, healthier, more functional foods help mycorrhizal are among best known biostimulants. As a environmentally friendly source supplements, AMF helps acquire nutrients water, improves tolerance salinity, drought, heavy metals, reduces erosion. To better understand how be used in agriculture, further studies needed. Several examples produce various presented current manuscript. This review presents biostimulant applications discusses role bridging yield gaps between conventional farming improving availability, uptake, assimilation, thus addressing limitations often found systems.

Despite growing attention, antibiotics (such as streptomycin, oxytetracycline or kasugamycin) are still used worldwide for the control of major bacterial plant diseases. This raises concerns on their potential, yet unknown impact antibiotic and multidrug resistances spread genetic determinants among pathogens. Antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) have been identified in pathogenic bacteria (PPB), with streptomycin being most commonly reported. Therefore, contribution mobile elements (MGEs) to PPB, well ability transfer other bacteria, need be further explored. The only well-documented example ARGs vector Tn 5393 its highly similar variants (carrying genes), is concerning because presence outside Salmonella enterica Klebsiella pneumoniae , two human Although structure PPB relatively simple, human- animal-associated has evolved into complex associations MGEs ARGs. review sheds light associated but also investigates potential role use selection plant-associated bacteria.
