Community-forming traits (CFts) play an important role in the effective colonization of plant-growth-promoting bacterial communities that influence host plants positively by modulating their adaptive functions. In this study, by considering plant-growth-promoting traits (PGPts) and community-forming traits (CFts), three communities were constructed, viz., SM1 (PGPts), SM2 (CFts), and SM3 (PGPts+CFts). Each category isolates were picked up on the basis of their catabolic diversity of different carbon sources. Results revealed a distinctive pattern in the colonization of the communities possessed with CF traits. It was observed that the community with CFts colonized inside the plant in groups or in large aggregations, whereas the community with only PGPts colonized as separate individual and small colonies inside the plant root and leaf. The effect of SM3 in the microcosm experiment was more significant than the uninoculated control by 22.12%, 27.19%, and 9.11% improvement in germination percentage, chlorophyll content, and plant biomass, respectively. The significant difference shown by the microbial community SM3 clearly demonstrates the integrated effect of CFts and PGPts on effective colonization vis-à-vis positive influence on the host plant. Further detailed characterization of the interaction will take this technology ahead in sustainable agriculture.

“…de Matos Nascimento et al [70] advocated for biofertilizers as a valuable nutrient source for corn, suggesting their potential to replace up to 22% of the mineral nitrogen fertilizer when appropriately utilized. Their research also highlighted the capacity of biofertilizers to enhance plant biomass while reducing cultivation costs.…”

The cultivation of corn holds immense importance as a foundational global grain crop, catering to human sustenance and serving as vital animal feed. Moreover, corn plays a substantial role in biofuel production. Additionally, cultivating corn can have a positive effect on crop rotation by improving soil quality and reducing erosion. In a pot trial using six distinct compost variations derived from different organic wastes as fertilizers for GS210 corn, specific indices, such as Fv/Fm (0.80, 0.80, 0.81), Fv/F0 (4.07, 3.99, 4.03), PI (4.62, 4.22, 5.21), and RC/ABS (1.71, 1.68, 2.01), exhibited the highest values. Interestingly, mineral fertilization with NPK displayed significant benefits on various growth parameters like plant height (188.9 cm), cob length (17.50 cm), grains per cob (324.0), and thousand-grain weight (MTZ) (285.2). The difference in the cob grain count between NPK mineral fertilization and the control reached 168.5 grains, which was statistically confirmed. Furthermore, the grain’s protein content notably increased with mineral fertilization (9.5) compared to the control (8.5). While organic fertilizers showed lower outcomes (9.1–9.3) than NPK mineral fertilization, they generally outperformed the control (8.5). This prompts the need for future studies to assess the effectiveness of individual organic fertilizers in combination with mineral nitrogen fertilization.

“…Crop Damage: Air pollution has significant implications for agricultural productivity and food security. In line with this, high amounts of ozone, nitrogen dioxide, and sulfur dioxide can damage crop plants, leading to low yields and poor-quality produce (Wendel, 2014;Chen and Liao, 2017;Ekiyor et al, 2019;de Matos Nascimento et al, 2020;Pandya et al, 2022). Ozone, in particular, can cause visible leaf injury, decreased photosynthesis, and an impaired progenitor system.…”

Air pollution is a significant global problem that affects human health and the natural environment. This research article aims to provide a comprehensive review of the impacts of air pollution on health and ecosystems and present various analytical techniques used for its measurement and modeling. The study uses a systematic review method to identify and evaluate research articles that deal with air pollution, its impacts on health and ecosystems, analytical techniques, and modeling that are only available in English and published between 2012 and 2023. The findings outlined in this article contribute to an enhanced understanding of the detrimental effects of air pollution and provide insights into effective monitoring and mitigation strategies. In conclusion, by implementing effective policies, adopting clean technologies, promoting sustainable practices, and raising awareness, we can mitigate the impacts of air pollution and create a healthier and more sustainable future.
