Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria-Mediated Adaptive Responses of Plants Under Salinity Stress

Md Najmol Hoque et al.

Summary: In recent years, various approaches have been developed to mitigate the adverse effects of salinity stress on plants, but some of them are not environmentally friendly. Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been found to enhance the productivity of saline soil without harming the environment by reducing oxidative damage, maintaining ionic homeostasis, enhancing antioxidant machinery, and regulating gene expressions. PGPR also regulates photosynthetic attributes and enhances salinity tolerance in plants. Additionally, PGPR plays a significant role in the synthesis of phytohormones and secondary metabolites in plants under salt stress.

Potential Role of Biochar on Capturing Soil Nutrients, Carbon Sequestration and Managing Environmental Challenges: A Review

Zouhair Elkhlifi et al.

Summary: The properties of biochar and their effects on agricultural soil health and environmental ecosystems depend on the feedstock, residence time, and pyrolysis conditions. Biochar can remove organic and inorganic contaminants from the soil as an adsorbent and improve soil quality, microbial activities, and carbon content. One of the great impacts of biochar is its ability to capture soil nutrients and sequester carbon.

Enhancement of Yield, Phytochemical Content and Biological Activity of a Leafy Vegetable (Beta vulgaris L. var. cycla) by Using Organic Amendments as an Alternative to Chemical Fertilizer

Angela Libutti et al.

Summary: This study evaluates the effect of different soil amendments (chemical fertilizer, compost, and biochars) on the yield, phytochemical content, and biological activity of Swiss chard. Results showed that vermicompost and its mixture with biochar significantly increased yield parameters and yield, similar to the chemical fertilizer. Vermicompost and its mixture with biochar also had lower nitrogen and nitrate content compared to the chemical fertilizer. The biochars alone had limited effects on yield and nitrogen uptake, while vermicompost had positive effects on specialized metabolites and antioxidant activity. Organic amendments, especially compost, can be an alternative to chemical fertilizers for sustainable food production.

Crop yield, nutrient uptake, nutrient use efficiency and soil properties of soybean-mustard system as influenced by soil amendments in degraded vertisol of western India

I. Rashmi et al.

Summary: The study aimed to investigate the effect of soil amendments on crop yield, nutrient use efficiency, and soil properties in salt-affected soils. Results showed that the application of gypsum alone and combined with organic amendments significantly reduced exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) and improved nutrient availability. The combination of gypsum with organic amendments resulted in higher nutrient uptake and crop yields. The highest nutrient efficiencies were observed in treatments with gypsum and chemical fertilizers. This study suggests that using farm yard manure, crop residue, and gypsum with fertilizers can effectively improve soil sodicity, nutrient use efficiency, and crop productivity in salt-affected soils under the soybean-mustard system.

Dissolved nitrogen in salt-affected soils reclaimed by planting rice: How is it influenced by soil physicochemical properties?

Jian Wang et al.

Summary: This study investigated the relationship between soil dissolved nitrogen (SDN) and soil physicochemical properties in reclaimed salt-affected soils during rice planting. The results showed that soil salinity and sodicity initially increased and then decreased during reclamation, while organic matter and total nitrogen increased with the extension of reclamation years. Ammonium nitrogen concentrations in reclaimed paddy fields were higher than those in bare salt-affected soils, and nitrate nitrogen concentrations were smaller. Statistical analysis revealed significant correlations between SDN and soil physicochemical properties. Therefore, this study has important implications for the management of nutrient application in reclaimed salt-affected soils.

Effects of salinity on microbial utilization of straw carbon and microbial residues retention in newly reclaimed coastal soil

Dezhi Yan et al.

Summary: Soil salinity has a significant impact on soil organic carbon stocks by influencing the microbial utilization of newly input organic carbon and the retention of microbial residues. A study found that high salinity did not decrease the quantity and efficiency of microbial utilization of straw carbon, but it was not beneficial for the retention of microbial residues after microbial cells died. Thus, high salinity primarily reduced microbial-derived SOC formation by affecting the stabilization and recycling of microbial necromass in the coastal soil studied.
