Soil Allies: Exploring the Combined Potential of Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. Against Fusarium oxysporum

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 17, Issue 5, October 2025.
This study highlights the synergistic potential of the springtail Folsomia candida and Trichoderma spp. in suppressing Fusarium oxysporum, a key pathogen affecting cape gooseberry. By reducing Fusarium populations and enhancing soil health, this approach offers a promising eco‐friendly strategy for managing plant diseases in agriculture.

Glomalin: A Potential Soil Conditioner for Perennial Fruits

International Journal of Agriculture and Biology, 2016
Glomalin, a special glycoprotein secreted by hyphae and spore walls of arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), possesses some diverse characteristics, of them its hydrophobic nature and stability to heat are most profound. Glomalin sloughs off cementing material following the hyphal degradation that coat soil organic matter and soil particles, thereby ...

Miscanthus × giganteus increases soil maximum water holding capacity compared to maize

Agrosystems, Geosciences &Environment, Volume 8, Issue 3, September 2025.
Abstract Soil ecosystem services, like the ability to store water, have been depleted after a century of conventional, annual cropping, and perennial crops offer a solution to this and other agricultural environmental issues. We assessed the impact of Miscanthus × giganteus (miscanthus), a perennial biomass crop, on soil water holding capacity and ...

Prospects of Cropping with Polysaccharides Producing Microbes Under Drought Stress

Research in Agricultural Sciences
Drought and water stress are the major abiotic stresses that limit plant growth. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, well known for their growth-promoting attributes, produce extracellular polysaccharides that form rhizosheaths around the roots ...

Regenerative soil treatments with alginite, mulch, and cover crops under minimum tillage: Impacts on soil organic matter content and quality in a 3‐year study

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 5, September/October 2025.
Abstract The degradation of arable land globally, largely due to declining soil organic matter (SOM), is a pressing issue. SOM is essential for various soil functions and significantly influences soil quality and health. Our study aimed to compare soil regenerative management methods for soil quality and basic essential functions and their ...

Effect of Salinity Stress and Microbial Inoculations on Glomalin Production and Plant Growth Parameters of Snap Bean (Phaseolus vulgaris)

Agronomy, 2019
Salinity is a major abiotic stress that can adversely affect plant growth, yield, other physiological parameters, and soil health. Salinity stress on biomass production of salt-sensitive crops, like snap bean (Phaseolus vulgaris), is a serious problem ...

Advancements in Water‐Saving Strategies and Crop Adaptation to Drought: A Comprehensive Review

Physiologia Plantarum, Volume 177, Issue 4, July/August 2025.
ABSTRACT Drought stress, which is one of the most critical environmental constraints affecting global crop productivity, is exacerbated by climate change and increased atmospheric water demand. This review comprehensively examines plant responses to drought, integrating physiological, morphological, biochemical, and genetic adaptations that contribute ...

Role of Glomalin in Improving Soil Fertility: A Review

International Journal of Plant & Soil Science, 2014
Mycorrhizalfungiare found naturallyin undisturbedsoilsaround the world.They form symbiotic relationships with almost all plants ranging from ornamentals, fruits, vegetables, trees and shrubs. Most of the plants have a strong dependency on mycorrhizal fungi for optimal growth. The mycorrhizal symbiosis is a key stone to the productivity and diversity of

Soil Properties and Not Crop Rotation With Non‐Mycorrhizal Canola Influence the Abundance of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi in Wheat Soils

Soil Use and Management, Volume 41, Issue 2, April‐June 2025.
ABSTRACT Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi are gaining prominence in agriculture because of their role in enhancing crop nutrient uptake and stress tolerance. Soil management practices, however, may pose a non‐optimal environment for arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal functioning.

Rhizoglomus intraradices Improves Plant Growth, Root Morphology and Phytohormone Balance of Robinia pseudoacacia in Arsenic-Contaminated Soils

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are known to improve the resistance of host plants against various heavy metal stresses. However, the arsenic (As) resistance mechanism of AMF-inoculated woody legumes remains unclear.
