Exopolysaccharide‐Based Microencapsulation of Plant Growth‐Promoting Bacillus Strains Improves Germination, Growth, and Yield of Chilean Common Bean Cultivars

Legume Science, Volume 8, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Microbial biostimulants offer sustainable alternatives to chemical fertilizers in legume cultivation by enhancing seed germination, nutrient uptake, and stress resilience, while maintaining the yield. However, their practical application is often limited by weak shelf life and reduced viability under environmental conditions. In this study, we

Development of biofertilizers for sustainable agriculture over four decades (1980–2022)

Geography and Sustainability
The application of biofertilizers is becoming an inevitable trend to substitute chemical fertilizers for sustainable agriculture. To better understand the development of biofertilizers from 1980 to 2022, we used bibliometric mining to analyze 12,880 ...

Novel applications of the tomato microbiome: Roles and considerations for agriculture, human health, and society

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, Volume 8, Issue 2, Page 530-555, March 2026.
Plants, like humans, have a microbiome that helps them grow, defend themselves against pathogens, acquire nutrients, and protect themselves against environmental stresses. The microbiome of tomatoes, a staple crop grown worldwide, could be utilized not only to reduce fertilizer and pesticide applications, but also to clean up harmful pollutants ...

Comparative efficacy of seed biopriming and soil drenching with Bacillus altitudinis TM22 and Bacillus atrophaeus MCM61 on the suppression of Fusarium wilt of cotton

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2424-2445, March 2026.
Co‐application of Bacillus strains TM22 and MCM61 suppressed Fusarium wilt of cotton. Seed biopriming with Bacillus strains performed better than soil drenching. TM22 + MCM61 improved vegetative and physiological aspects in cotton plants. TM22 + MCM61 enhanced the activity of defense enzymes and defense gene expression.

Biological control by Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria

, 2020
Plant Growth Promoter Rhizobacteria (PGPR) is soil bacteria that can live on, in or around plant tissue and promote plant growth by many mechanisms that include a biological control of plant pathogens. Indeed, PGPRs have a protective effect through several modes of action such as antagonism, competition, production of hydrolytic enzymes and biofilm ...

Bacillus velezensis 83 protects Arabidopsis thaliana against Botrytis cinerea by triggering JA‐, and SA‐dependent induced systemic resistance

Pest Management Science, Volume 82, Issue 3, Page 2532-2540, March 2026.
B. velezensis 83 protects the plant against B. cinerea, accumulating acetoin and activating jasmonic acid‐ and salicylic acid‐mediated defense responses. Abstract BACKGROUND Modern agriculture is based on the application of synthetic agrochemicals to control multiple abiotic and biotic stresses.

A Systematic Approach to Field Testing of Biological Products for Horticulture Is Required to Improve Food Security

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Food security challenges require immediate action to increase food production. Many biological products derived from plant, animal or microbial sources claim they sustainably increase yield, but there are concerns about biosecurity to be investigated before their introduction to the field.

Toward Sustainable Fertilization: Biochar and Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria (PGPB) Influence on Sweet Pepper (Capsicuum annuum L.) Development and Production Under Reduced Nitrogen Input

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 5, Issue 1, March 2026.
The use of beneficial soil microorganisms and organic amendments is a desirable strategy for advancing sustainable horticultural systems. This study demonstrated that biochar and PGPB application with half N dose maintained sweet pepper growth and yield at levels comparable to full N dose, while promoting fruit quality, soil fertility and microbial ...
