Over the past four decades, Bacillus biofertilizers, which are microbial formulations based on species, have significantly contributed to sustainable agriculture by enhancing crop growth, improving soil health, and reducing dependency chemical fertilizers. particularly known for their ability promote plant fix nitrogen, solubilize phosphorus, produce growth-promoting substances such as phytohormones antibiotics, emerged key players in development of eco-friendly agricultural solutions. This research utilizes bibliometric analysis 3,242 documents sourced from Web Science database map development, contributions, innovation within field 1985 2023. study identifies exponential growth output, 2003 onwards, indicating a robust interest expanding base predominantly China, India, United States. We segmented timeline into three distinct phases, each marked varying rates foci. paper presents novel insights geographical institutional distributions research, highlighting predominant role developing countries advancing Bacillus-based technologies. Key hotspots evolved basic applications complex interactions involving synthetic communities advanced multi-omics techniques. Our findings demonstrate trend towards more strategic technologically integrated approaches reflecting broader shifts systems. not only charts historical progress, but also proposes future trajectories aimed at application effectiveness fertilizers across diverse ecosystems.

Comparative effects of biocontrol agent and pathogen on Nicotiana tabacum : insights into fungal-plant interactions

Plant Signaling & Behavior, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 20(1)

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2025

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum) black shank disease, caused by Phytophthora nicotianae, is a significant threat to tobacco crops, leading severe economic losses. Prolonged use of agrochemicals control this disease has prompted the exploration eco-friendly biological strategies. This study investigated effects Trichoderma harzianum, biocontrol agent, on N. tabacum in comparison P. focusing growth, biomass, root morphology and anatomy, hormonal changes, osmotic regulation. T. harzianum significantly enhanced plant biomass accumulation, system development, physiological attributes such as photosynthetic pigment levels antioxidant enzyme activity. In contrast, nicotianae negatively impacted these parameters, inhibiting growth function. Notably, increased proline content induced resistance mechanisms, mitigating stress promoting overall health. These findings highlight potential sustainable solution for managing while improving crop productivity.

Potencial de Trichoderma spp como agente antagonista de Phytophthora palmivora en plántulas de cacao variedad CCN-51

Horizon Nexus Journal., Год журнала: 2025, Номер 3(2), С. 18 - 35

Опубликована: Апрель 30, 2025

Phytophthora palmivora es un patógeno devastador en cultivos de cacao, que causa enfermedades como la podredumbre vaina y pudrición raíz, afectando significativamente productividad calidad los cultivos. Dado el control químico presenta desafíos debido a resistencia del sus efectos ambientales, biológico mediante hongos Trichoderma harzianum se una alternativa prometedora. Este estudio evaluó potencial tres cepas (TCH-01, TCH-22, TCH-09) agentes biocontroladores P. plántulas cacao variedad CCN-51. Se realizaron evaluaciones crecimiento radial las cepas, inhibición esporulación in vitro, así incidencia severidad enfermedad tratadas. Los resultados mostraron TCH-01 fue cepa más eficaz, logrando 80% 96%, lo superior otras cepas. En también presentó menor (10%) (20%) enfermedad, comparación con controles. Estos demuestran tiene alto para ser utilizado biocontrolador palmivora, contribuyendo estrategias manejo sostenibles reduciendo dependencia tratamientos químicos cultivo cacao.

Co-inoculation of Trichoderma viride with Azospirillum brasilense could suppress the development of Harpophora maydis-infected maize in Egypt

Frontiers in Plant Science, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 15

Опубликована: Фев. 6, 2025

Plant diseases caused by fungal pathogens are responsible for severe damage to strategic crops worldwide. Late wilt disease (LWD) is a vascular that occurs late in maize development. Harpophora maydis, the causative agent of LWD, significant economic losses Egypt. Therefore, aim this study was control LWD using an alternative approach reduce use chemical pesticides. A combination Trichoderma viride, biocontrol agent, and Azospirillum brasilense, bacterial endophytic plant growth promoter, applied vitro planta. T. viride showed high mycoparasitic potential against H. maydis via various antagonistic activities, including production lytic enzymes, secondary metabolites, volatile compounds, siderophores. A. brasilense filtrates were also shown suppress growth, addition their ability produce gibberellic indole acetic acids. change metabolites secreted observed GC/MS presence maydis. field experiment conducted on susceptible resistant hybrids evaluate activity combined with incidence as well promotion under conditions. The data revealed decrease both severity plants treated and/or brasilense. Further, there noticeable increase all yield parameters. An anatomical examination inoculated roots reflective responses biotic stress. Taken together, obtained results provide successful eco-friendly management strategies maize.

Potential of Bacillus halotolerans in Mitigating Biotic and Abiotic Stresses: A Comprehensive Review

Stresses, Год журнала: 2025, Номер 5(2), С. 24 - 24

Опубликована: Март 25, 2025

Bacillus halotolerans, a halophilic bacterial species of the genus Bacillus, is emerging as biological control agent with immense potential for sustainable agriculture, particularly in extreme conditions and environmental rehabilitation. This review summarizes current state research on B. emphasizing its diverse applications biocontrol plant pathogens, growth promotion under salinity stress, nematode management, bioremediation. halotolerans utilizes several mechanisms such production siderophores phytohormones, secretion exopolysaccharides, release antifungal nematicidal compounds, which allows it to mitigate both abiotic biotic stresses various crops, including wheat, rice, date palm, tomato, others. In addition, genomic metabolomic analyses have revealed secondary metabolite that improves antagonistic growth-promoting traits. Despite significant progress, challenges remain translating laboratory results into field applications. Future should focus formulating effective bioinoculants trials maximize practical utility agriculture resilience.
