Formulation challenges associated with microbial biofertilizers in sustainable agriculture and paths forward

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 3(3)

Published: Sept. 1, 2024

Abstract Sustainable increase in agriculture productivity is confronted by over‐reliance and over‐use of synthetic chemical fertilizers. With a market projection $5.02 billion 2030, biofertilizers are gaining momentum as supplement and, some cases, an alternative to Biofertilizers can improve the nutritional supply plant simultaneously soil health, reduce greenhouse emissions, hence directly contribute towards environmental sustainability. Plant growth‐promoting microbes (PGPMs) particularly receiving significant attention biofertilizers. They widely known for their ability growth via increasing nutrient availability use efficiency. However, except few successful commercialization PGPM‐based inoculants still limited, mainly due lack field efficacy consistency. Lack effective formulation technologies that keep microbial viable during storage, transport application considered one key factors drive inconsistent In this review, we identify current challenges associated with inoculants. We propose future paths, including advancement potentially efficient, eco‐friendly cost‐effective. argue enhance global adoption biofertilizers, new innovations based on transdisciplinary approaches indispensable. The emerging framework should encompass robust quality control system at all stages. Additionally, active partnership between academic industry stakeholders will pave way enhanced

The nitrogen cycle is the biogeochemical by which converted into multiple chemical forms as it circulates among atmospheric, terrestrial, and marine ecosystems, conversion of can be carried out through both biological physical processes. Important processes in include fixation, ammonification, nitrification, denitrification. majority Earth's atmosphere (78%) atmospheric nitrogen, making largest source nitrogen. However, has limited availability for use, leading to a scarcity usable many types ecosystems. particular interest ecologists because affect rate key ecosystem processes, including primary production decomposition. Human activities such fossil fuel combustion, use artificial fertilizers, release wastewater have dramatically altered global cycle. modification negatively natural environment system also human health.

Microbially derived surfactants: an ecofriendly, innovative, and effective approach for managing environmental contaminants

Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 12

Published: Aug. 26, 2024

The natural environment is often contaminated with hydrophobic pollutants such as long-chain hydrocarbons, petrochemicals, oil spills, pesticides, and heavy metals. Hydrophobic a toxic nature, slow degradation rates, low solubility pose serious threats to the human health. Decontamination based on conventional chemical surfactants has been found be toxic, thereby limiting its application in pharmaceutical cosmetic industries. In contrast, biosurfactants synthesized by various microbial species have considered superior counterparts due their non-toxic economical nature. Some can withstand wide range of fluctuations temperature pH. Recently, emerged innovative biomolecules not only for solubilization but also biodegradation environmental metals, petroleum spills. Biosurfactants well documented function emulsifiers, dispersion stabilizers, wetting agents. amphiphilic nature potential enhance hydrocarbons spills reducing interfacial surface tension after distribution two immiscible surfaces. However, remediation contaminants using affected considerably temperature, pH, media composition, stirring rate, microorganisms selected biosurfactant production. present review briefly discussed current advancements microbially biosurfactants, factors affecting production, addition, latest aspect circular bioeconomy terms generating from waste global economic aspects

The Past, Present and Future of Plant Activator Targeting Salicylic Acid Signal Pathway

Published: July 17, 2024

Plant activators have emerged as promising alternatives to conventional pesticides for crop disease manage-ment due their unique mode of action. By priming the plant's innate immune system, these compounds can induce systemic acquired resistance against a broad spectrum pathogens without directly inhibiting proliferation. Key advantages plant include prolonged defense activity, lower effective dosages, and negligible risk developing pathogen resistance. Among various defensive pathways tar-geted, salicylic acid (SA) signaling cascade has been extensively explored, leading successful devel-opment commercial like benzothiadiazole widespread application in protection. While action sites many SA-targeting preliminarily mapped different steps along pathway, comprehensive understanding precise mechanisms remains elusive. This review provides historical perspective on activator development outlines diverse screening strategies employed across multiple levels, from whole-plant bioassays molecular transgenic approaches. We expound intricate components, biological relevance, regulatory circuits governing SA while criti-cally examining structural features, bioactivities, proposed modes classical such derivatives, analogs, other small molecules. Insights field trials as-sessing practical applicability are also discussed. Furthermore, we highlight current status, challenges, future prospects realm globally, with focus recent en-deavors China. Collectively, this aims synthesize existing knowledge provide roadmap research toward more potent mechanistically understood activa-tors that fortify immunity disease.
