Induced Systemic Resistance (ISR) is another significant defense mechanism in plants, akin to Systemic Acquired Resistance (SAR). Both ISR and SAR are forms of induced systemic resistance, and they play essential roles in a plant’s ability to defend against pathogens. However, they differ in terms of their activation mechanisms and signaling pathways. Here’s a detailed […]

Bacillus microorganisms, specifically certain strains of the genus Bacillus, are widely used in agriculture due to their beneficial effects on plants, soil, and pest management. These microorganisms offer a range of advantages and applications in sustainable and eco-friendly agricultural practices. Here are some key uses of Bacillus microorganisms in agriculture: 1. Biofertilizers: 2. Plant Growth […]

Beneficial microorganisms, often referred to as plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM), play a crucial role in enhancing plant growth, nutrient availability, and overall soil health. These microorganisms can form symbiotic relationships with plants or directly influence soil conditions, leading to improved crop productivity and sustainability in agriculture. Here are various types of beneficial microorganisms and their […]

Although it may appear to be revolutionary, the concept of using plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria, or PGPR, has been with us for over 30 years. In the rhizosphere, the space immediately surrounding the roots of a plant, a complex series of interactions between the plant, microorganisms and the soil is in place. This unique environment supports […]

As the world’s food demand grows, agricultural food production is also on the rise. This comes with the related challenges of poor yield, drought, pests and weeds that can negatively impact both productivity and the environment. While fertilizers and pesticides play a significant role in attempting to overcome some of these obstacles, agricultural biologicals can […]
