“…Rhizobium bacteria form a symbiotic relationship with roots of legume crop that results in N fixation, as well as increased uptake of P and macronutrients by the plant and reduced impact of stress factors ( Nadeem et al., 2009 ). Symbiotic bacteria may also promote plant growth by supplying additional N through atmospheric N 2 fixation, producing phytohormones (auxins, cytokinins, and gibberellins), and releasing anti-microbial molecules to shield crops from diseases ( Afkhami et al., 2021 ; Akinola and Babalola, 2020 ; Barka et al., 2016 ; Díez-Méndez and Menéndez, 2021 ; Flores-Félix et al., 2019 ; Khan, 2005 ; Lindstrom and Mousavi, 2019 ; Menendez and Paço, 2020 ; Mupambwa et al., 2018 ; Murali et al., 2021 ; Siqueira et al., 2020 ). In the past, farmers have widely used earthworms and organic fertilizers to boost soil productivity ( Rashid et al., 2013 , 2014a , 2014b , 2016 ; Shah et al., 2013 ), and these practices have proven to be beneficial to agro-ecosystems.…”

Soil microbial communities play a crucial role in soil fertility, sustainability, and plant health. However, intensive agriculture with increasing chemical inputs and changing environments have influenced native soil microbial communities. Approaches have been developed to study the structure, diversity, and activity of soil microbes to better understand the biology and plant-microbe interactions in soils. Unfortunately, a good understanding of soil microbial community remains a challenge due to the complexity of community composition, interactions of the soil environment, and limitations of technologies, especially related to the functionality of some taxa rarely detected using conventional techniques. Culture-based methods have been shown unable and sometimes are biased for assessing soil microbial communities. To gain further knowledge, culture-independent methods relying on direct analysis of nucleic acids, proteins, and lipids are worth exploring. In recent years, metagenomics, metaproteomics, metatranscriptomics, and proteogenomics have been increasingly used in studying microbial ecology. In this review, we examined the importance of microbial community to soil quality, the mystery of rhizosphere and plant-microbe interactions, and the biodiversity and multi-trophic interactions that influence the soil structure and functionality. The impact of the cropping system and climate change on the soil microbial community was also explored. Importantly, progresses in molecular biology, especially in the development of high-throughput biotechnological tools, were extensively assessed for potential uses to decipher the diversity and dynamics of soil microbial communities, with the highlighted advantages/limitations.

“…Peat is the most widely used inoculum carrier in the world; however, its availability is limited (Sahu & Brahmaprakash, 2016). Exploration of other matrix alternatives generated by more sustainable processes and that compete biologically and economically with the materials currently used could be beneficial to the biofertilizer industry (Herrmann & Lesueur, 2013;Flores-Félix et al, 2019;Saeid & Chojnacka, 2019). Biochar has the potential to be used as an alternative vehicle in the development of new biofertilizers.…”

Biochar is a solid material obtained from the thermal decomposition of biomass of diverse biological origins through a process called pyrolysis. Biochar has great potential for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, sequester carbon in the soil, rehabilitate degraded soils, and reduce dependence on chemical fertilizers in crops. It also improves the physical, chemical, and biological properties of the soil and has a positive effect on plant growth. Given these attributes, there is a growing interest for adopting its use in agriculture, soil and land reclamation, and climate change mitigation. The effects of biochar application can be neutral or positive and will be determined mainly by factors such as the origin of the raw materials, carbonization conditions, frequency of applications, the method of application and dosage. In this review, we offer a detailed examination of the origins of biochar and the technologies used for its production. We examine the various materials that have been used to produce biochars and how they affect their physico-chemical characteristics, and we describe their applications in agriculture and climate change mitigation. Finally, we list the guides that describe the standards for the production, characterization, and commercialization of biochar that seek to guarantee the quality of the product and the essential characteristics for its safe use.

The results of many years of research on the individual and complex effects of biologically active substances on the structural state and enzymatic activity calcic chernozem – humic preparation Lignohumate and microbiological fertilizer “Baikal-EM” – are presented. It was found that biologically active substances contribute to an increase in enzymatic activity, humus content and an improvement in the state of the soil structure. When both preparations are applied directly to the soil, the maximum effect and statistical reliability of this effect on the structural characteristics of the soil are shown even under extremely unfavorable weather conditions. At the same time, the structural coefficient during the study period increases from 1.5 to 2-2.7 in comparison with the background variant, which makes it possible to assess the structural state of the soils as “excellent”. In general, the activity of enzymes during the research in the cultivation of winter crops tended to stable growth. The cessation of the application of liquid complex fertilizers and the transition to a spring crop led to a decrease in the activity of enzymes and their return to background values.
