Energy Nexus, Journal Year: 2022, Volume and Issue: 7, P. 100124 - 100124

Published: July 25, 2022

Countries are working into making agriculture more sustainable by integrating different technologies to enhance its operation. Implementing improvements in irrigation systems is crucial for the water-use efficiency and works as a contributor Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under United Nations specifically Goal 6 Target 6.4. This paper aims highlight contribution of SMART using Internet Things (IoT) sensory relation SDGs. The study based on qualitative design along with focusing secondary data collection method. Automated essential conservation water, this improvement could have vital role minimizing water usage. Agriculture farming techniques also linked IoT automation, make whole processes much effective efficient. Sensory helped farmers better understand their crops reduced environmental impacts conserve resources. Through these advanced soil weather monitoring takes place efficient management. Irrigation been determined positive toward optimized that use continuous research development which focus enhancing operations cost reduction. Lastly, challenges benefits implementation discussed. review will assist researchers provide an adequate approach would be sufficient carry out related activities.

Soil-derived Nature's Contributions to People and their contribution to the UN Sustainable Development Goals

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B Biological Sciences, Journal Year: 2021, Volume and Issue: 376(1834), P. 20200185 - 20200185

This special issue provides an assessment of the contribution soils to Nature's Contributions People (NCP). Here, we combine this and previously published relationships between NCP delivery on UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) infer contributions SDGs. We show that in addition contributing positively all NCP, also have a role underpinning While highlighting great potential contribute sustainable development, it is recognized poorly managed, degraded or polluted may negatively both The positive contribution, however, cannot be taken for granted, must managed carefully keep them healthy capable playing vital role. A priority soil management include: (i) natural ecosystems, protect from conversion degradation; (ii) soils, manage way enhance biodiversity, health sustainability prevent (iii) restore full health. enough knowledge now move forward with implementation best practices maintain improve analysis shows not just desirable, essential if are meet SDG targets by 2030 achieve development more broadly decades come. article part theme 'The delivering People'.

Finger Millet (Eleusine coracana) Plant–Endophyte Dynamics: Plant Growth, Nutrient Uptake, and Zinc Biofortification

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(4), P. 973 - 973

Published: April 8, 2023

Endophytic fungi and bacteria were isolated from finger millet their effects on growth parameters zinc NPK contents in grains studied. Out of 70 fungal 112 bacterial endophytes, the two best isolates selected basis solubilization plant-growth-promoting attributes. The identified Aspergillus terreus Lecanicillium sp., Pseudomonas bijieensis Priestia megaterium. endophytic zinc, mobilization, efficacy determined a pot experiment with carbonate as source. Endophytic-primed plants showed enhanced shoot root lengths compared to unprimed control. Endophytes increased content by between 12.12% 18.80% control plants. also augmented concentrations seeds exhibited stability diverse range pHs, temperatures, NaCl concentrations, various carbohydrate nitrogen sources. This is first study reporting interaction terreus, bijieensis, megaterium for grain Zn biofortification concentration enhancement. indicated that zinc-dissolving endophytes possess potential enhancing addition

Halobacteria-Based Biofertilizers: A Promising Alternative for Enhancing Soil Fertility and Crop Productivity under Biotic and Abiotic Stresses—A Review

Microorganisms, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 11(5), P. 1248 - 1248

Published: May 9, 2023

Abiotic and biotic stresses such as salt stress fungal infections significantly affect plant growth productivity, leading to reduced crop yield. Traditional methods of managing factors, developing resistant varieties, chemical fertilizers, pesticides, have shown limited success in the presence combined abiotic factors. Halotolerant bacteria found saline environments potential promoters under stressful conditions. These microorganisms produce bioactive molecules regulators, making them a promising agent for enhancing soil fertility, improving resistance adversities, increasing production. This review highlights capability plant-growth-promoting halobacteria (PGPH) stimulate non-saline conditions, strengthen tolerance stressors, sustain fertility. The major attempted points are: (i) various challenges that limit agriculture sustainability food safety, (ii) mechanisms employed by PGPH promote both (iii) important role played recovery remediation agricultural affected soils, (iv) concerns limitations using PGHB an innovative approach boost production security.
