The breaking silence between the plant roots and microorganisms in the rhizosphere affects
plant growth and physiology by impacting biochemical, molecular, nutritional, and edaphic …

Growing environmental concerns are potentially narrowing global yield capacity of
agricultural systems. Climate change is the most significant problem the world is currently …

Potassium (K) is considered as an essential nutrient and a major constituent within all living
cells. Naturally, soils contain K in larger amounts than any other nutrients; however most of …

Background An increase in population has led to a higher demand for food. Meeting up this
demand has necessitated the use of chemical fertilizers. However, utilization of these …

The growing interest in low-input agriculture in recent years has focused the use of microbial
biofertilizers to improve plant growth and yield through a better mobilization of indigenous …

FAPROTAX is a promising tool for predicting ecological relevant functions of bacterial and
archaeal taxa derived from 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing. The database was initially …

The established practices of intensive agriculture, combined with inadequate soil Κ
replenishment by conventional inorganic fertilization, results in a negative environmental …

Intensive agricultural practices and cultivation of exhaustive crops has deteriorated soil
fertility and its quality in agroecosystems. According to an estimate, such practices will …

Until recently, potassium (K) has not received considerable attention because of the general
belief that soils contain ample amounts of this element. In addition, low rates of K fertilizer …

One of the main obstacles to plant growth is the lack of the availability of nutrient elements in
many agricultural environments in the world, especially the tropics where soils can be …
