Little is known about management practices that can simultaneously improve soil and environmental quality and sustain crop yields. The effects of novel and traditional management practices that included a combination of tillage, crop rotation, and N fertilization on soil C and N, global warming potential (GWP), greenhouse gas intensity (GHGI), and malt barley (Hordeum vulgarie L.) yield and qua...

environmental problems associated with the excessive use of chemical fertilizers and abiotic stresses due to soil pollution by heavy metals have encouraged use of biological fertilizers in modern agriculture. in order to protect environment and reduce the tension caused by heavy metals, it is essential to use biofertilizer in crop production. to assess the effects of biofertilizers on yield and...

Aims: Soils in Ghana's coastal savanna are typically poor phosphorus (P), which has an impact on crop growth and productivity. The majority of West African phosphate rock formations not reactive; therefore, their direct applications do facilitate easy P availability to crops. Co-composting organic waste with using phosphorus-solubilizing microorganisms is the new paradigm adopted by scientists ...

Aimed to evaluate the productive, morphological and nutritional characteristics, in addition accumulation of nutrients aerial part Urochloa brizantha cv. Marandu subjected phosphorus chemical sources its interaction with phosphate-solubilizing inoculant. The experiment was developed Colorado do Oeste, RO, Brazil, being adopted a randomized block design three replications. treatments consisted d...

Insufficient nutrient and pest infection are two major predicaments for low crop yield in agriculture. Nematodes, a most infectious parasite pest in plants responsible for major yield loss. Chemical phosphate fertilizer made large reserves of it in soil, but part of it is made available to the plants because of irreversible fixation of it with divalent cation. In the present study, Arthrobotrys...

Abstract Background An increase in population has led to a higher demand for food. Meeting up this necessitated the use of chemical fertilizers. However, utilization these fertilizers considerable deleterious effect on soil, plant, human, environmental sustainability, and only cost reduced profitability. With identified problems, there is need efficient sustainable methods regarding managing na...

The isolation of phosphate solubilizing bacterial strains exhibiting high ability to solubilize soil phosphorus is a matter of great interest with high applicability. The use of phosphate solubilizing bacteria as inoculants simultaneously increases phosphate uptake by the plant and increase crop yield. Strains from the genera Pseudomonas, Bacillus and Rhizobium species are among the most powerf...

Microorganisms in the rhizosphere mediate the cycling of nutrients, their enhanced mobilisation and facilitate their uptake, leading to increased root growth, biomass and yield of plants. We examined the promise of beneficial cyanobacteria and eubacteria as microbial inoculants, applied singly or in combination as consortia or biofilms, to improve growth and yields of okra. Interrelationships a...

Understanding soil–plant–microbe inter- and intra- interactions are essential for ensuring proper soil health, quality, soil-mediated ecosystem services (e.g., nutrient cycling) required human–plant–animal life. Intensive unsustainable farming practices can decrease microbial biodiversity, fertility, quality leading to degradation, impaired cycling, the incapability of support plant growth. Und...
