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 ...

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 ...

Harnessing the Sorghum Microbiome for Enhancing Crop Productivity and Food Security Towards Sustainable Agriculture in Smallholder Farming

Plants
Smallholder farming plays a crucial role in global food security, contributing more than half of the world’s food supply. However, it is increasingly threatened by climate variability, declining soil fertility, and financial constraints, all of which ...

Enhanced below‐ground functioning is associated with higher plant resistance against drought: Implications for ecosystem functions

Journal of Ecology, Volume 114, Issue 3, March 2026.
The results suggest that the subordinate species achieves higher drought resistance in biomass and soil functions via increased below‐ground functioning. The data presented here provide a basis to explain the underlying mechanisms behind the response of grassland communities and their C cycling to drought.

In‐Field Evaluation of Triticum spelta and Triticum aestivum Performance Under Contrasting Irrigation Regimes and Farming Systems: Impact on Yield, Grain Quality and Soil Microbiota

Journal of Agronomy and Crop Science, Volume 212, Issue 2, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Drought is a major abiotic stress affecting crop yields worldwide. Similarly, organic practices have been reported to enhance soil health and microbial diversity, influencing crop growth and yield. Given its drought tolerance, spelt (Triticum spelta) has been proposed as a resilient alternative to wheat (Triticum aestivum).

Enterobacter Species: Opportunistic Human and Plant Pathogens With Plant‐Beneficial Traits

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
The pathogen profile on Enterobacter species synthesises current knowledge on host range, disease symptoms, plant‐beneficial traits and compares genomic features within the genus. ABSTRACT Enterobacter species occur across diverse habitats and are best known for causing opportunistic and nosocomial infections in humans.

Mechanistic Insights for Microbiome Application in Plant Disease Resistance

Molecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 3, March 2026.
This review summarises the mechanisms underlying plant‐guided microbiome modulation and probiotic‐mediated disease suppression. Additionally, it highlights the challenges to be addressed for a better microbiome application of disease resistance in sustainable agriculture and proposes possible strategies. Figure was created with BioRender.

The Volatile Pentadecane From Bacillus Alleviates Plant Iron Deficiency Through Activating the Reduction‐Based Fe Uptake System

Plant Biotechnology Journal, Volume 24, Issue 3, Page 1564-1577, March 2026.
ABSTRACT Iron (Fe) is an essential micronutrient for plant growth and development. Rhizosphere microorganisms play crucial roles in plant Fe nutrition, yet the underlying mechanisms remain largely unknown. Here, we assessed the effect of the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by Bacillus velezensis SQR9 on Fe uptake in Arabidopsis, elucidated ...
