Sustainable food security and safety are major concerns on a global scale, especially in developed nations. Adverse agroclimatic conditions affect the largest agricultural-producing areas, which reduces production of crops. Achieving sustainable is challenging because several factors, such as soil flooding/waterlogging, ultraviolet (UV) rays, acidic/sodic soil, hazardous ions, low high temperatures, nutritional imbalances. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) widely employed in-vitro they recognized more environmentally sustainably friendly approach to increasing crop yield contaminated fertile soil. Conversely, use nanoparticles (NPs) an amendment has recently been proposed economical way enhance texture improving agricultural yields. Nowadays, various research experiments have combined or individually applied with PGPR NPs for balancing elements response control adverse situations, expectation that both additives might perform well together. According findings, interactive applications significantly increase yields than alone. The present review summarized functional mechanistic basis role NPs. However, this article focused potential direction realize possible interaction at large scale upcoming years.

Monitoring soil erosion is crucial for conservation policies, especially in tropical regions that are prone to water erosion. A 2-year field study was conducted assess the impact of simple engineering approaches and poultry manure application on loss, physical properties, maize yield, economic benefit Southwest Nigeria. The experiment a 4 × 2 factorial arrangement with three replications. treatments included four (surface mat, silt fencing, furrow dike, no approach [control]) two rates at 0 20 t ha −1 . Annual loss higher under control (6.22–8.01 Mg year ). combination significantly ( p ⩽ .05) reduced by 9.7% 85.4% compared control. Engineering did not improve properties; however, saturated hydraulic conductivity highest surface mat combined both years. Maize yield increased 27.7% control, while an additional grain 0.14 obtained over Soil negatively correlated yield. results suggest integrating mats can be effective controlling enhancing improving

Surface soil is a vital component of terrestrial ecosystems and great importance for primary productivity. In Zhangjiachong, small watershed in Zigui County, central China, human activity erosion cause extensive surface degradation. It still unclear as to what extent influences fertility microorganisms this area. Soil samples were collected, during spring autumn, across series land use types with different levels activity. We assessed microbial communities using 16S rRNA gene sequencing Biolog ECO-plates. The results showed that higher associated lower metabolic activity, addition bacterial diversity. Moreover, had negative effects on the relative abundances Proteobacteria Acidobacteriota, which key drivers fertility. Conversely, stronger was abundance Actinobacteriota. This study suggested influence fertility, community composition could be good predictor

Soil health is essential for sustainable agricultural operations, as it supports farm production and ecosystem services. The adoption of agriculture practices such conservation tillage, cover cropping, crop rotation provides significant benefits both productivity environmental sustainability. These can increase soil biodiversity, nutrient cycling, organic matter, which the resilience agroecosystems. This narrative review synthesizes insights literature, with a focus on common farming that improve enhance yields, reviewing results various approaches pointing out challenges opportunities implementing larger scale. paper discusses effects tillage cropping system health, including no-till conventional systems, rotation, cultivator combinations, fertilizer application. study found more beneficial to than tillage—which still debated among scientists farmers—and different methods interact differently. In contrast, yields intercropping, crops monocropping. For maintaining fertility, this shows could be increased by zero tillage. identifies most suitable improving while boosting minimal negative impact soil. It also highlights these in quality.

Soil health is crucial for global food production in the context of an ever-growing population. Microbiomes, a combination microorganisms and their activities, play pivotal role by biodegrading contaminants, maintaining soil structure, controlling nutrients' cycles, regulating plant responses to biotic abiotic stresses. Microbiome-based solutions along soil-plant continuum, scaling up from laboratory experiments field applications, hold promise enhancing agricultural sustainability harnessing power microbial consortia. Synthetic communities, i.e., selected consortia, are designed perform specific functions. In contrast, natural communities leverage indigenous populations that adapted local conditions, promoting ecosystem resilience, reducing reliance on external inputs.
