Sustaining Rice Production through Biofertilization with N2-Fixing Cyanobacteria

Current agricultural productivity depends on an exogenous nutrient supply to crops. This is of special relevance in cereal production, a fundamental part the trophic chain that plays vital role human diet. However, our practices entail highly detrimental side-effects from environmental point view. Long-term nitrogen fertilization croplands results degradation soil, water, and air quality, producing eutrophication subsequently contributing global warming. In accordance with this, there biotechnological interest using nitrogen-fixing microorganisms enhance crop growth without adding chemically synthesized fertilizers. particularly beneficial paddy fields, where about 60% synthetic fertilizer has been applied dissolved water washed away. these systems, N2-fixing cyanobacteria show promising potential as biofertilizers, improving soil fertility while reducing impact practice. current study, Andalusian fields have explored isolate cyanobacteria. These endogenous re-introduced field trial order rice production. Our provide valuable insights regarding use alternative natural source for
