Harnessing Trichoderma in Agriculture for Productivity and Sustainability

Agronomy, Год журнала: 2021, Номер 11(12), С. 2559 - 2559

Опубликована: Дек. 16, 2021

Increased agricultural activities driven by rising food demand have led to environmental problems mostly arising from the high levels of external inputs and resources that are required. Additionally, changes, such as global warming, can lead various biotic abiotic stresses, which negative impacts on crop production. Numerous solutions strategies been introduced overcome these problems. One ways improve plant production well increase resistance towards stresses is utilizing beneficial microbes soil inoculants. A better understanding ability Trichoderma enhance mechanisms involved important for deriving maximum benefits their exploitation. These versatile fungi hold great promise development viable commercial products be used widely in agriculture increasing productivity a more sustainable way. Many previous reviews tended focus enhancing growth yield. This current review discusses sustainability aspect using regulators, impact yield effects regulating stresses.

The application of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in Solanum lycopersicum production in the agricultural system: a review

PeerJ, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 10, С. e13405 - e13405

Опубликована: Май 31, 2022

Food safety is a significant challenge worldwide, from plantation to cultivation, especially for perishable products such as tomatoes. New eco-friendly strategies are needed, and beneficial microorganisms might be sustainable solution. This study demonstrates bacteria activity in the tomato plant rhizosphere. Further, it investigates rhizobacteria’s structure, function, diversity soil. Rhizobacteria that promote growth development of plants referred growth-promoting (PGPR). They form series associations with other organisms soil through mutualistic relationship where both parties benefit living together. It implies antagonistic activities rhizobacteria deter pathogens invading their roots. Some PGPR regarded biological control agents hinder spoilage can act an alternative agricultural chemicals may detrimental health humans, animals, some microbes rhizosphere These also help acquire essential nutrients like potassium (K), magnesium (Mg), phosphorus (P), nitrogen (N). offer solution low production tackle food insecurity farming problems. In this review, overview soil-inhabiting focused on improving Solanum lycopersicum .

Development of agricultural bio-inoculants based on mycorrhizal fungi and endophytic filamentous fungi: Co-inoculants for improve plant-physiological responses in sustainable agriculture

Biological Control, Год журнала: 2023, Номер 182, С. 105223 - 105223

Опубликована: Апрель 11, 2023

A new more sustainable agricultural system needs to be developed increase production without compromising human and animal health preserving essential resources, such as soil, water diversity. Bio-inoculants can a tool favor this transition, they replace or complement agrochemicals that do not meet the above premises. generated from endophytic filamentous fungi mycorrhizal fungi, whether used individually, in combination with each other microorganisms, stand out for their potential. This review provides information on how bio-inoculants based these microorganisms have been shown crop yield quality through strategies, increasing nutrient uptake levels of certain phytohormones. On promote tolerance abiotic stresses, including heavy metals, elevated temperatures, salinity drought, accumulation osmoregulatory substances plant's root surface, among others. And finally, ability protect plant against pathogens pests, either by inducing defense systems, competing space synthesizing metabolites antibiotic activity. It should noted that, although there are already commercial products using purposes, biological control agents biostimulants, it is expected deeper understanding mechanisms action together improved technical processes, will lead effective, safer cheaper products.
