Over the past four decades, Bacillus biofertilizers, which are microbial formulations based on species, have significantly contributed to sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop growth, improving soil health, and reducing dependency chemical fertilizers. particularly known for their ability promote plant fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, produce growth-promoting substances such as phytohormones antibiotics, emerged key players in development of eco-friendly agricultural solutions. This research utilizes bibliometric analysis 3,242 documents sourced from Web Science database map development, contributions, innovation within field 1985 2023. study identifies exponential growth output, 2003 onwards, indicating a robust interest expanding base predominantly China, India, United States. We segmented timeline into three distinct phases, each marked varying rates foci. paper presents novel insights geographical institutional distributions research, highlighting predominant role developing countries advancing Bacillus-based technologies. Key hotspots evolved basic applications complex interactions involving synthetic communities advanced multi-omics techniques. Our findings demonstrate trend towards more strategic technologically integrated approaches reflecting broader shifts systems. not only charts historical progress, but also proposes future trajectories aimed at application effectiveness fertilizers across diverse ecosystems.

Mitigation of salinity stress via improving growth, chlorophyll contents and antioxidants defense in sunflower with Bacillus pumilis and biochar

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: March 20, 2025

Increasing salinity stress is a significant challenge in agriculture, affecting ~ 20% of irrigated areas worldwide. It can induce osmotic stress, oxidative and nutrient imbalance plants. Using rhizobacterial species biochar be an effective method to overcome this issue. Bacillus pumilus rhizobacteria that enhance plant salt tolerance, facilitate solubilization saline soils, generate stress-alleviating metabolites. On the other hand, nitrilotriacetic acid mixed (NAT-BC) increase crop yields mitigate by improving nutrients water uptake. That's why present study was carried out explore combined effect NAT-BC on sunflowers both non-saline salinity-stress sunflowers. Four treatments, i.e., 0NAT-BC, pumilus, 0.75NAT-BC, + were applied four replications following completely randomized design (CRD). Results showed 0.75NAT-BC caused enhancement sunflower height (103%), stem diameter (45%), head (74%), stomatal conductance (60%), protein content (11%) rate over control under stress. A improvement chlorophyll (19%), b (35%), total (54%) compared confirm efficacy concluded applying treatment alleviate via contents, which most representative attribute current study. Growers are recommended apply achieve better growth

Half-Century Scientometric Analysis: Unveiling the Excellence of Fungi as Biocontrol Agents and Biofertilisers

Journal of Fungi, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 11(2), P. 117 - 117

Published: Feb. 4, 2025

Reducing the use of chemical inputs is becoming a major challenge in developing sustainable agriculture. Fungi, known as biocontrol agents (BCAs) and biofertilisers, are crucial scientific research celebrated for their efficacy, eco-friendliness, multifaceted roles. In this study, bibliometric analysis was conducted on 5349 articles related to fungi BCAs biofertilisers over past half-century using Web Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database. The publications fungi, such have increased significantly last 20 years, with maximum growth rate 33.7%. USA China lead field. Keyword clustering revealed that entomopathogenic including Hemiptera, Coleoptera, Lepidoptera, can be used manage plant pests. It also showed promote growth. trends shows Beauveria bassiana biological control highly significant. This study pests by infiltrating insect cuticles.

Impact of tillage and fertilizer management on Soybean-Cotton rotation system: effects on yield, plant nutrient uptake, and soil fertility for sustainable agriculture

Scientific Reports, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 15(1)

Published: March 22, 2025

Agricultural productivity in semiarid regions is challenged by low soil fertility, limited water availability, and unsustainable farming practices. Semiarid vertisols, commonly found such regions, require efficient management practices to maintain long-term health optimize crop yields. This study aimed evaluate the sustainability of yield, rainwater use efficiency (RWUE), monetary returns a rotation system involving soybean cotton under vertisols over 10-year period (2011–2020). Fifteen treatment combinations tillage fertilizer were applied, with treatments consisting conventional tillage, reduced interculture, herbicide plus one interculture. Fertilizer included farmyard manure (FYM) at 5 t/ha, vermicompost 3 50% recommended dose (RDF) FYM 2.5 RDF 1.5 100% (inorganic). The objective was assess impact these on fertility. equivalent yield (SEY) ranged from 2155 kg/ha (T3 N2) 2727 (T1 N5), an overall mean 2406 coefficient variation (CV) 6.5% indicating consistent performance time where variability relatively low. RWUE varied 2.96 kg/ha·mm 3.80 3.34 (CV = 7.5%). Statistical analysis revealed significant differences SEY due treatments. Such as, T1 N5 (100% vermicompost) consistently produced highest efficiency, that this more effective than others promoting growth utilization. Principal component (PCA) explained 88.19% variance plant considering influencing significance parameters (soil organic carbon, nitrogen content microbial biomass) which are positively correlated higher yields better efficiency. (2727 kg/ha), index (SYI) 66.5%, benefit-cost ratio 3.20, kg/ha·mm. also improved fertility period, carbon increasing 15% biomass 20% treatment, reflecting positive combined inorganic nutrient management. Based findings, adopting can be enhance maximize returns, use, preserve vertisols. Further studies could focus environmental impacts practices, including sequestration potential for adapting other varying types.
