Excessive chemical fertilizers can increase carbon emissions and accelerate land degradation. To overcome this challenge, mitigation efforts are needed, such as using biofilm-forming microbes to reduce water evaporation household waste compost liquid organic fertilizer improve degraded soil quality. This study aims determine the effect of Biofilm Biofertilizer, Compost, Liquid Organic Fertilizer (LOF) on growth pakcoi plants. used a three-factor (fertilizer type, inorganic doses, doses) with Complete Group Randomized Design 14 treatments (N0: Control, N1: 100 % NPK + 0 fertilizer, NB 2: 75% 25% BFBF, 3: 50% 4: 25 5: 0% 100% NP LOF, NR Compost). The observation parameters in include plant height, number, width leaves. Data analysis was carried out ANOVA continued DMRT. results showed that biofilm biofertilizer treatment leaf width, fresh weight pakchoi plants compared control, while number leaves LOF 16,69% higher than control. These findings support climate change strategies by reducing contribute adopting sustainable agricultural practices utilize biofilms materials productivity maintaining ecosystem health.

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi inoculation and biochar application enhance soil carbon and productivity in wheat and barley

The Science of The Total Environment, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 977, P. 179230 - 179230

Influencing the global carbon cycle via modification to terrestrial soil pool has been suggested as one solution help mitigate climate change. Cropping systems cover a vast expanse of earth's surface and represent major exchange point. Investigating management practices biotechnologies capable influencing in cropping is thus valuable endeavour, even modest interventions have capacity increase stocks improve fertility plant production. Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are obligate biotrophs forming mutually beneficial relationships with wide array symbiotic partners. Increasingly, AMF being investigated for their potential enhance agricultural productivity through inoculation seeds living propagules or spores. Beyond positive influence on growth resilience, may some several conceptually recognised yet poorly understood mechanisms, warranting further exploration. Here, we evaluate an inoculant promote sequestration wheat barley under greenhouse conditions. We assess response these crops explore interactive effects organic amendments.

Integrating Biofertilizers with Organic Fertilizers Enhances Photosynthetic Efficiency and Upregulates Chlorophyll-Related Gene Expression in Rice

Sustainability, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 16(21), P. 9297 - 9297

Published: Oct. 25, 2024

Biofertilizers offer a sustainable method for improving rice growth and productivity, yet their effects on the interaction between plant growth, photosynthetic activity, gene expression remain under-researched. This study examines how biofertilizer influences physiology, focusing regulation of chlorophyll-related genes. Eight fertilizer treatments were applied: control (CNT), (BF), deactivated (DABF), straw (RS), with (RS+BF), organic (OF), (OF+BF), inorganic (IOF). Plant height, tiller number, SPAD, NDVI, chlorophyll content, photosynthesis rates measured, while analysis was conducted using RT-qPCR. The OF+BF treatment produced most significant results, leading to 31% increase in 135% 42% content (SPAD values) compared control. Additionally, enhanced efficiency by 74%, highest net rate 48.23 μmol CO2 m−2 s−1. Gene revealed that upregulated key photosynthesis-related genes, such as OsChlD OsCHLM, showing 70% 90% expression. These findings highlight potential integrating biofertilizers fertilizers sustainably boost contributing global food security climate change mitigation.

Assessing the Effects of Integrated Nutrient Management on Groundnut Root Growth and Post-Harvest Soil Properties in Brown Forest Soil of South Odisha

International Journal of experimental research and review, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 45(Spl Vol), P. 301 - 312

Published: Nov. 30, 2024

The globe faces food security difficulties because of population increase and resource degradation, both worsened by climate change. Applying chemical fertilizer along with cereal-based cropping systems degrades soil health respect to physical, chemical, biological properties, which also results in low crop land productivity. However, adopting legume-based integrated nutrient management provides an appropriate way reach Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Hence, a field trial was conducted on groundnut 2018 2019 at the Post Graduate Research Farm, M.S.
