This review explores the diverse applications and therapeutic potential of endophytic microbes, emphasizing both fungal bacterial endophytes. These microorganisms reside within plant tissues without causing harm play an important role in enhancing growth, nutrient acquisition, resistance to pathogens. They produce phytohormones, facilitate uptake, solubilize essential nutrients, fix nitrogen, improve stress tolerance. Furthermore, endophytes contribute agricultural sustainability by producing growth regulators, providing biocontrol against pathogens through antimicrobial compounds, competing for resources. Integrating microbes into practices can reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers pesticides, promoting eco-friendly sustainable farming. highlights dual fostering agriculture novel applications. By minimizing dependence inputs, support environmental health while boosting crop yields. The synthesis underscores importance leveraging tackle global food security challenges.

Adopting sustainable agricultural practices that enhance productivity while preserving ecosystem services is essential to ensure food security for a growing global population and address environmental challenges. This review examines the impact of legume intercropping on nitrogen (N) fixation, soil physio-chemical properties, water retention, pest disease control, crop yield across diverse agro-climatic zones cropping systems. The findings consistently demonstrate integrating legumes into system improves health by reducing bulk density, breaking up hardpan layers, erosion, increasing organic matter, fixing atmospheric (~125 kg N/ha/season) need inorganic N fertilizers. It boosts yields 30–35% (in terms main equivalent yield) land per unit area time, mitigates total loss, promotes biodiversity. also use efficiency 20–25% enhances nutrient 25–30%. Additionally, reduces losses from pests diseases compared sole practice bolsters resilience through ecological processes like bio-littering, bio-ploughing, bio-irrigation, bio-pumping (the “4Bs”), which are valuable adapting climate variability. However, research gaps remain, particularly in optimal selection species specific regions, suitable agronomic each system, addressing socio-economic barriers widespread adoption.

Abstract Microorganisms are important associates of insect and arthropod species. Insect‐associated microbes, including bacteria, fungi, viruses, can drastically impact host physiology, ecology, fitness, while many microbes still have no known role. Over the past decade, we increased our knowledge taxonomic composition functional roles insect‐associated microbiomes viromes. There has been a more recent shift toward examining complexity microbial communities, how they vary in response to different factors (e.g., genome, strain, environment, time), consequences this variation for wider ecological community. We provide an overview insect–microbe interactions, variety associated functions, evolutionary ecology these relationships. explore influence environment interactive effects insects their across trophic levels. Additionally, discuss potential subsequent synergistic reciprocal impacts on microbiomes, communities. Lastly, some avenues future insect‐microbe interactions that include modification existing symbionts as well construction synthetic

Abstract Background The Sub-Saharan African food system is facing multiple threats, including soil nutrient depletion, monoculture cereal farming, population expansion, and climate change. These factors collectively pose a risk to agricultural productivity security in the region. Scope Bambara groundnut (BGN) (Vigna subterranea [L.] Verdc) yield has been decline due various abiotic such as high temperature, drought, salinity, well biotic like nitrogen-fixing symbiont host specificity. challenges have negatively impacted crop security. This review highlights significance of BGN addressing insecurity explores its potential advantages for small-scale farmers. provides good example strong effects microbiome, particularly specific symbionts root nodules, on production systems. A focus this highlight applications biofertilizers groundnut. Conclusion emphasizes improve fertility, using inoculation technology, which could benefit farmers contribute enhancing Bradyrhizobium inoculants may be designed specifically cultivar level BGN.

Plants are constantly exposed to a wide range of environmental factors that cause different kinds stress, such as drought, salinity, heat, frost, and low nutrient availability. There also biotic sources which include pathogens (bacteria, viruses, pests), herbivores, plant competitors. These various types stress affect normal physiology development, may lead significantly lower yields. However, certain microorganisms (MOs), known growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), can interact with benefit plants in stressful environments. They do so through series mechanisms contribute minimizing the negative effects plants’ responses stress. This review summarizes current knowledge about those mechanisms, focus on production exopolysaccharides (EPSs). compounds act osmoprotectants, promote phytohormones, prevent entry roots, bioremediate metals, improve soil structure permeability, among many other beneficial effects. makes them suitable alternatives guarantee food security while reducing excessive use chemical agricultural inputs their harmful consequences for environment.
