Enhancing soil health through balanced fertilization: a pathway to sustainable agriculture and food security

Frontiers in Microbiology, Journal Year: 2025, Volume and Issue: 16

Published: April 28, 2025

Sustainable soil health management is pivotal for advancing agricultural productivity and ensuring global food security. This review comprehensively evaluates the effects of mineral-organic fertilizer ratios on microbial communities, enzymatic dynamics, functional gene abundance, holistic health. By integrating bioinformatics, enzyme activity assays, metagenomic analyses, we demonstrate that balanced fertilization significantly enhances diversity, community stability, resilience against environmental stressors. Specifically, synergistic application mineral organic fertilizers elevates β -glucosidase urease activities, accelerating matter decomposition nutrient cycling while modulating taxa critical transformation pathogen suppression. Notably, replacing 20–40% with alternatives mitigates risks such as greenhouse gas emissions leaching sustaining crop yields. dual approach improves structure, boosts water retention capacity, increases biomass by 20–30%, fostering long-term fertility. Field trials reveal yield 25–40% in crops like rice maize under combined fertilization, alongside enhanced carbon (110.6%) nitrogen content (59.2%). The findings underscore necessity adopting region-specific, strategies to optimize ecological sustainability productivity. Future research should prioritize refining frameworks through interdisciplinary approaches, addressing soil-crop-climate interactions, scaling these practices diverse agroecosystems. aligning policies principles, stakeholders can safeguard health—a cornerstone human wellbeing—while securing resilient systems future generations.
