Microalgae application in agriculture is an alternative measure that could be highly beneficial to plants.
One of the challenges of modern agriculture is to organize production sustainably, applying all the means that are available to farmers in order to minimize the negative influences of agrochemicals on plants and soil. Microbial formulations containing effective microorganisms (EM) with the biofertilizer or biostimulator properties could be an alternative to chemical substances used in […]
Recent advances in the role of plant metabolites in shaping the root microbiome
Plants in their natural environment are in constant interaction with diverse microorganisms. Whereas some microbes harm plants and trigger their defense reaction, others are beneficial for plant performance. Therefore, interactions between plant roots and rhizosphere microbiome are critical for plant fitness in an ambient environment. The technical innovations in cultivation of soil microbes and in […]
The Rhizosphere – Roots, Soil and Everything In Between
What is the Rhizosphere and how can understanding rhizosphere processes help feed the world and save the environment? This article will review the critical biogeochemical processes occurring at the plant root-soil interface. https://www.nature.com/scitable/knowledge/library/the-rhizosphere-roots-soil-and-67500617
Minimizing carbon footprint via microalgae as a biological capture
The threatening crisis of climate change and pollution resulting from various anthropogenic interventions has attracted worldwide attention over the last few decades. However, carbon capture and storage (CCS) methods, once seen as a promising technology to mitigate this worrying scenario, are considered economically cumbersome, and their long term environmental implications are still unclear. Alternatively, biological […]
