Bacillus halotolerans, a halophilic bacterial species of the genus Bacillus, is emerging as biological control agent with immense potential for sustainable agriculture, particularly in extreme conditions and environmental rehabilitation. This review summarizes current state research on B. emphasizing its diverse applications biocontrol plant pathogens, growth promotion under salinity stress, nematode management, bioremediation. halotolerans utilizes several mechanisms such production siderophores phytohormones, secretion exopolysaccharides, release antifungal nematicidal compounds, which allows it to mitigate both abiotic biotic stresses various crops, including wheat, rice, date palm, tomato, others. In addition, genomic metabolomic analyses have revealed secondary metabolite that improves antagonistic growth-promoting traits. Despite significant progress, challenges remain translating laboratory results into field applications. Future should focus formulating effective bioinoculants trials maximize practical utility agriculture resilience.

Evaluating wheat response to biostimulants: a 25-year review of field-based research (2000–2024)

Frontiers in Sustainable Food Systems, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 9

Published: March 28, 2025

Wheat, a staple crop, faces numerous challenges due to climate change and the increasing demand for sustainable practices. Biostimulants, which enhance plant growth resilience, have gained attention their potential improve wheat productivity in an environment-friendly manner. This study presents comprehensive bibliometric analysis of field-based research on wheat's response biostimulants under field conditions from 2000 2024. Analyzing 222 studies, reveals significant rise publications biostimulants, with annual rate 15.6%. Asia leads largest share (59.4%), followed by Europe (18.1%) Africa (11.6%). North America, South America Oceania fewer contributions. Additionally, institutions Pakistan, India Egypt rank as most productive this topic. Saudi Arabia stands out highest percentage international collaboration, at 91.7% between countries 100% among institutions. The findings reveal that significantly ability withstand abiotic stress, optimize nutrient uptake, overall health. Research is transitioning traditional organic methods microbial inoculants advanced biostimulant formulations, improved management, reduced environmental impact. However, gaps remain, particularly understanding combined effects multiple long-term impact soil synthesis trends lays groundwork advancing production, supporting food security agricultural resilience amidst challenges.
