Plant growth was a function of inoculant successional age treatment for some crops, but the effects varied both in pattern and by growth measurement . Plants generally produced the most biomass when inoculated with the oldest soil microbiome, but there were significant crop species by inoculant interactions for both leaf size and total plant biomass .

Plant-associated microbiomes can boost plant growth or control pathogens. Altering the microbiome by inoculation with a consortium of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria can enhance plant development and mitigate against pathogens as well as abiotic stresses. Manipulating the plant holobiont by microbiome engineering is an emerging biotechnological strategy to improve crop yields and

2023-05-28· N, however, is a commonly limiting nutrient in crop production, leading to the widespread amendment of soil with mineral N fertilizers. Nearly 120 Tg of N as ammonium fertilizers is produced annually , and their application has greatly improved crop yield and food security . N fertilizers, however, are both costly and significant environmental pollutants as their application generates

Having been labeled a soil physicist, I have received inquiries during my professional career concerning relationships between soil physical properties and plant growth as well as question on what constitutes good soil physical properties. Most inquiries could be put off by a recitation of generalities such as a loam soil having intermediate bulk density, good aggregation, good infiltration

2018-06-27· Soil is the most important source and an abode for many nutrients and microflora. Due to rapid depletion of agricultural areas and soil quality by means of ever-increasing population and an excessive addition of chemical fertilizers, a rehabilitated attention is a need of the hour to maintain sustainable approaches in agricultural crop production. Biochar is the solid, carbon-rich material

2023-09-10· Soil microorganisms and other biota rely on plant residues as a source of energy and nutrients for their growth and reproduction. In agricultural systems, crop residues are the main source of new carbon, fueling biological processes. Through the process of rot, microbes transform plant shoots and roots into soil organic matter, at the same time performing critical ecosystem services like

Soil Compaction Effects on No-Till Crop Production. No-till has a lot of advantages over tillage--reduced labor requirements, reduced equipment costs, less runoff and erosion, increased drought resistance of crops, and higher organic matter content and biological activity. The higher organic matter content and biological activity in no-till makes the soil more resilient to soil compaction. One
