Bacterial Redox Cycling of Manganese in Calcareous Soil Enhances the Nutrients Bioavailability to Wheat

Saba Babar et al.

Summary: This study investigated the mechanisms of manganese bioavailability through microbial redox cycling and evaluated the effectiveness of Leptothrix discophora (MnOB) and Bacillus polymyxa (MnRB) inoculation in conjunction with mineral fertilizers on wheat yield and soil nutrient bioavailability in a calcareous soil. The results showed that the combination of MnOB and MnRB with 1/2NPK fertilizer had positive effects on soil pH, plant micronutrient contents, wheat grain yield, and soil organic matter contents. Integrated use of soil microbial resources and mineral fertilizers effectively enhanced the bioavailability of macro- and micronutrients in a calcareous soil.

Thiobacillus Bacteria-Enhanced Iron Biofortification of Soybean in a Calcareous Soil Enriched with Ferrous Sulfate, Mill Scale, and Pyrite

Toktam Daliran et al.

Summary: The study found that using Thiobacillus bacteria and iron waste to supply soybean iron requirement in calcareous soil is feasible, with T. ferrooxidans showing higher bioleaching potential. Simultaneous application of T. thiooxidans and T. ferrooxidans significantly increased iron uptake by soybeans.

Effect of Sulfur-Enriched Biochar in Combination with Sulfur-Oxidizing Bacterium (Thiobacillus Spp.) on Release and Distribution of Phosphorus in High Calcareous P-Fixing Soils

Abu El-Eyuoon Abu Zied Amin et al.

Summary: Reducing reliance on harmful agrochemicals is a challenge in modern agriculture, but sulfur-enriched biochar with sulfur-oxidizing bacteria could be a promising alternative. A study on applying a mixture of bone-wood chips biochar and sulfur in calcareous sandy soil showed improved phosphorus availability and fraction changes. Ultimately, using sulfur-enriched biochar in calcareous sandy soil can enhance phosphorus availability, making it a beneficial slow-release, cost-effective, and clean alternative to mineral phosphate fertilizers.

Influence of elemental sulfur on cadmium bioavailability, microbial community in paddy soil and Cd accumulation in rice plants

Lijuan Sun et al.

Summary: The addition of S fertilizer (S-0) increased rice plant biomass and iron plaque formation, reduced Cd concentration in rice grains, and affected the bacterial community in rice rhizosphere soil. This suggests that promoting specific bacterial groups in the soil through S-0 application may play a role in reducing Cd risk in the soil-rice system.

Contribution of Arbuscular Mycorrhizal Fungi, Phosphate-Solubilizing Bacteria, and Silicon to P Uptake by Plant

Hassan Etesami et al.

Summary: This review discusses the use of silicon, phosphate-solubilizing bacteria, and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi to improve phosphorus availability in deficient soils. The combined strategy of using silicon with both microorganism groups may be highly useful in enhancing phosphorus uptake by plants. Understanding the interactions among these components is crucial for sustainable agriculture practices.

Effect of Organic and Inorganic Fertilizer on the Growth and Yield Components of Traditional and Improved Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Genotypes in Malaysia

Mohammad Anisuzzaman et al.

Summary: This study aimed to test the effects of organic and inorganic fertilizers on the growth and yield components of 65 rice genotypes. Results showed that the application of organic manure with chemical fertilizer significantly influenced most of the growth and yield components. By judiciously applying organic and chemical fertilizers, substantial increases in rice genotype yields can be achieved.
