    Rhizosphere Microorganisms in Sustainable Agriculture: Mechanisms and Applications

    Yingying Xing, Rong Wei, Xiukang Wang*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.95, No.4, 2026, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2026.078974 - 28 April 2026

    Abstract Rhizosphere microorganisms, as crucial biological groups at the soil–plant interface, play a significant role in advancing sustainable agriculture. This review systematically synthesizes three decades of research to elucidate the mechanisms and applications of rhizosphere microbes—including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, phosphate-solubilizing microorganisms, and plant growth–promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR)—in enhancing soil health, improving crop stress tolerance, and optimizing ecosystem functioning. Key findings indicate that replacing 50% of synthetic nitrogen with organic fertilizer in maize–wheat rotation systems can reduce nitrous oxide emissions by up to 68% in loamy soils. Long-term no-till systems enhance carbon sequestration through microbial-driven soil organic matter accumulation.… More >

    Microbial Fertilizer: A Sustainable Strategy for Medicinal Plants Production

    Chuang Liu1,2, Jing Xie2, Hao Liu2, Can Zhong2, Gen Pan2, Shuihan Zhang2, Jian Jin2,*

    Phyton-International Journal of Experimental Botany, Vol.93, No.6, pp. 1221-1236, 2024, DOI:10.32604/phyton.2024.050759 - 27 June 2024

    Abstract Medicinal plants have aroused considerable interest as an alternative to chemical drugs due to the beneficial effects of their active secondary metabolites. However, the extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides in pursuit of yield has caused serious pollution to the environment, which is not conducive to sustainable development in the field of medicinal plants. Microbial fertilizers are a type of “green fertilizer” containing specific microorganisms that can improve the soil microbial structure, enhance plant resistance to biological and abiotic stresses, and increase the yield of medicinal plants. The root exudates of medicinal plants attract… More >
