Selection of local soybean rhizobia as biofertilizer from acidic soil of East Wollega, Ethiopia

27/02/2025 - Soybean [Glycine max (L.)] is a leguminous crop that harbors root nodule bacteria that fix atmospheric nitrogen. However, the dinitrogen‐fixing potential of the isolates varies due to different...

Fertilizer selection influences soil microbial communities in alluvial and peat soils of the tropics

16/01/2025 - Fertilizer choices can alter soil microbial communities. The objective of this study was to determine the effects of urea, chicken manure, and Azolla fertilizers on soil microbial communities in...

Assessing the use of native rhizobia to improve nitrogen fixation under abiotic stress

26/09/2024 - Biological nitrogen fixation by rhizobia bacteria plays a pivotal role in sustainable agriculture by converting atmospheric nitrogen into a form that plants can assimilate, thereby reducing the need...

Grazing cover crops increases soil microbial biomass in Texas semiarid ecoregion

18/07/2024 - Integrated crop‐livestock systems (ICLS) bring diversity to agricultural systems, enhancing soil ecosystem services, food production, and environmental sustainability. Resource utilization...

Post‐flowering high night‐time temperature stress impacts physiology and starch metabolism in field‐grown maize

27/06/2024 - The global average daily minimum temperatures are increasing at a quicker pace than the average daily maximum temperatures, which are predicted to increase in severity impacting global food...

Short‐term effects of Kernza and alfalfa on microbial communities

16/05/2024 - Continuous land disturbance could negatively impact microbial community, but perennial crops can potentially reverse this negativity. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of Kernza...

Beef cattle feedlot runoff impacts on soil antimicrobial resistance

14/04/2024 - Field application of beef cattle feedlot runoff may transport manure‐borne microbes and antibiotic resistant bacteria to agricultural soils eventually impacting deeper soils and groundwater. To...

Kabuli chickpea seed quality diversity and preliminary genome‐wide association study identifies markers and potential candidate genes

18/10/2023 - Malnutrition due to macro‐ and micro‐nutrient deficiencies is one of the major global health concerns, especially in developing countries. Using genomics‐assisted breeding to enhance the...

Herbicide and additive impacts on Bradyrhizobium japonicum growth in solution

04/09/2023 - Plant biostimulants include beneficial fungi and bacteria, and are often applied to foliage to improve crop growth, yield, and/or crop quality. Crop improvements due to biostimulant addition may be...
