  Revolutionizing Agriculture with Nanotechnology: Enhancing Efficiency and Sustainability in Crop Protection and Pest Management

  By Luciana R. de S. Floresta, Emilly Valentim de Souza, Philipe Lima de Amorim, Roseane C. P. Trindade, Anielle Christine A. Silva

  Abstract: This brief review highlights the potential of nanotechnology in addressing critical challenges in modern agriculture driven by population growth, climate change, and the intensification of farming practices. The extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides has increased productivity and caused environmental issues, such as soil salinization, eutrophication, and health risks due to chemical residues in food. Nanomaterials have emerged as promising solutions, offering benefits like enhanced specificity in agrochemical delivery …

  Sorghum vulgare Plus Azospirillum lipoferum and Rhizobium tropici with NH4NO3 at 50% Reduce N2O Releasing

  By Juan Manuel Sánchez-Yáñez, Martha Elizabeth Vargas Hernández, Dora Alicia Pérez-González, Roberto Guerra-Gonzalez

  Abstract: Sorghum vulgare, a gramineae of commercial value, requires NH4NO3 for healthy growth, that in excess causes loss of soil productivity and the release of N2O, a greenhouse gas that contributes to global warming. An alternative solution to reduce and optimize NH4NO3 with: Azospirillum lipoferum and Rhizobium tropici. The objective of this work was: to analyze the effect of A. lipoferum and R. tropici 50%. For this, A. lipoferum and R. …

  Microbial Architects of Soil Health: A Multifaceted Approach to Improving Plant Nutrition, Biocontrol, and Phytohormone Production

  By Neelesh Kumar Maurya Maurya

  Abstract: The intricate relationship between plants and soil harbours a thriving community of microorganisms, unseen yet essential. Through numerous mechanisms, these microscopic marvels are essential to sustaining the health of the soil and encouraging robust plant growth. Microbes in the soil are essential for enhancing plant nutrition. Bacteria and fungi act as silent collaborators, facilitating the process of solubilizing and mobilising essential nutrients like phosphorus, potassium, and nitrogen within the soil. …
