Soil Microorganisms: Their Role in Enhancing Crop Nutrition and Health

Diversity, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 16(12), С. 734 - 734

Опубликована: Ноя. 29, 2024

Maintaining soil health is fundamental to sustaining agricultural productivity, however, the intricate role of microbial diversity in this process not fully understood. Current research acknowledges that microorganisms including bacteria, fungi, and archaea are pivotal driving essential functions such as nutrient cycling, organic matter decomposition, disease suppression. However, impacts global environmental changes intensive practices on these remain a critical gap literature. This significant because decline could severely compromise health, consequently crop productivity. Here, we provide comprehensive review factors influencing examine their implications for performance. We assess both natural pH, moisture, temperature, vegetation type well human-induced tillage systems fertilizer application. The synthesizes recent findings how shape communities functional roles structure formation, Our analysis highlights mechanisms by which enhances plant growth yield, addressing understanding direct links between outcomes. underscore urgent need sustainable protect enhance safeguard long-term fertility By challenges manipulating integrating ecology with management practices, advances our ability sustain face changes.

Phosphorus Release from Nano-Hydroxyapatite Derived from Biowastes in the Presence of Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria: A Soil Column Experiment

Journal of Agricultural and Food Chemistry, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown

Опубликована: Фев. 7, 2025

Phosphorus applications in agriculture can lead to significant environmental impacts, necessitating a revolution current agricultural practices. This study explores the potential of hydroxyapatite nanoparticles (nHAPs) synthesized from poultry bones as P fertilizers. nHAPs were produced at 300 °C (nHAP300) and 700 (nHAP700), their effectiveness was evaluated. An vitro solubilization test with Pseudomonas alloputida evaluated bacterium's ability solubilize nanoparticles, assessing dissolved organic acids produced. Additionally, soil leaching measured losses bioavailable compared conventional fertilizer, triple superphosphate (TSP). nHAP300 displayed heterogeneous sizes, while nHAP700 approximately 100 nm size, content 8.8% 19.4%, respectively. successfully solubilized both types demonstrating higher solubility than nHAP300. The TSP treatment resulted (6.35 mg) nHAP treatments (nHAP300 0.32 mg; 0.28 mg), indicating for recycling waste. Our findings indicate that are more efficient release but less prone Utilizing these enables phosphorus recovery waste holds sustainable applications.

Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms for soil health and ecosystem sustainability: a forty-year scientometric analysis (1984–2024)

Frontiers in Microbiology, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 16

Опубликована: Фев. 19, 2025

Phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms (PSM) play a crucial role in promoting crop growth by enhancing phosphorus supply and reducing loss soil. However, comprehensive bibliometric overview of the research landscape on PSM agricultural applications has been lacking. This study conducts analysis to explore global trends, key contributors, collaborative networks application ecological restoration, providing valuable insights for future research. A total 1,662 documents from Web Science Core Collection, spanning 1984 2024, were extracted analyzed using Bibliometrix CiteSpace software. The findings reveal period rapid this field since 2018. Initially, focused microbial soil nutrients, such as phosphate rock Azospirillum brasilense. Current hotspots have shifted towards topics like drought salt stress, well productivity, reflecting an increasing emphasis mitigating impacts warming environmental changes. China India lead output, contributing 36.67% articles. Indian Council Agricultural Research published highest number Future should emphasize their nutrient uptake, improving health, stresses, supporting sustainable agriculture restoration. 1,162 articles 7,454 authors 101 countries highlights critical advances at intersection microbiology, land management, climate change adaptation. These provide foundation addressing challenges degradation, cycling, food security, aligning with Sustainable Development Goals.

Sustainable Agriculture Through Phosphate Solubilizing Microorganisms

Advances in environmental engineering and green technologies book series, Год журнала: 2025, Номер unknown, С. 257 - 288

Опубликована: Апрель 4, 2025

Phosphorus is an essential macronutrient for plant growth, but its low availability in soil often limits crop yields. Although abundant soil, much of the phosphorus exists insoluble forms, rendering it inaccessible to plants. Farmers address this issue with chemical fertilizers, their excessive use poses environmental risks and undermines sustainability. A promising alternative phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, such as biofertilizers, which enhance while reducing reliance on inputs. Phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) convert phosphate into soluble improving uptake by When applied or plants, these fertility, boost productivity, support sustainable agriculture. This book chapter explores role growth advancing eco-friendly farming practices.
