“…Rangel-Montoya et al [ 49 ], showed the biocontrol mechanism against the Macrophomina phaseolina in Cowpea plant by using B. amyloliquefaciens, with similar type of biocontrol property which present in our microbes. Some study supports our result to improve the nutrient value in the crops as compared to control [ 50 , 51 ]. In some combination of microbial treatment showed improvement in plant growth parameter as it clearly showed that microbes and consortia able to secret plant growth promoting factors.…”

“…Due to the previous global crises, human health suffers from many troubles especially the malnutrition and / or hidden hunger because of micronutrient deficiencies. Malnutrition is considered a global challenge facing the world in order to develop a think-tank to alleviate and provide the right access to food globally and also secure them nutritionally (Shukla et al 2022). Several nutrients have been confirmed their deficient in the human diet in many developing countries (mainly African and Asian Continent) such as calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), iodine (I), magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn).…”

“…Several nutrients have been confirmed their deficient in the human diet in many developing countries (mainly African and Asian Continent) such as calcium (Ca), iron (Fe), iodine (I), magnesium (Mg), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn). Although, the proper solution for the malnutrition is the biofortification, there are many options to improve dietary foods with essential micronutrients including food supplementation, fortification, and dietary diversification (Shukla et al 2022). Biofortification is -a revolutionary technique for improving plant nutrition and alleviating human micronutrient deficiency‖ (Monika et al 2023).…”

“…Among, biofortification with essential micronutrients in the targeted crop could be achieved through agronomic practices, conventional breeding, genetic engineering, and microorganism approaches. These approaches can be employed in the pulse crops (e.g., chickpea, pigeon pea, and lentils), which showed great potential to overcome micronutrient deficiencies prevalent among the vulnerable group (Shukla et al 2022).…”

EGETABLE crops are importantsources of vitamins, and minerals for human, and provides him with several bioactive compounds. Producing safe and healthy vegetables for human diet is of a great global issue. Thisneeds to exploit all available resources, particularly soils understressful conditions such as saline, saline-sodic, waterlogged and low fertile soils), climatic stress (drought, flooding, saltwater intrusion, and heat stress), and along with normal conditions. Nano-biofortification can support the vegetable productivity especiallyunder such conditions by using the biological nanonutrients. Bio-nanonutrients exhibitsmany distinguishableproperties than mineral forms such as higher biological activity, lower toxicity, and better bioavailability. Bio-nanonutrients also promote the vegetable growth, productivity and enhance planttolerance towards different stresses by reinforcing the function of antioxidant enzymes. Thus, production of biofortified vegetables under stressful conditions might be an optimum and sustainable solution particularly by using the biological nanonutrients like selenium. The controlling factors that are needed for a successful nanobiofortification program of vegetables are correlated with growing media, plant species, and method application of nanonutrients. The over dose of nanonutrients maycause a nanotoxicity for cultivated plants, and then human health after consumption. This problem can be managed by following the 4R Nutrient Stewardship concept, which focuses on the right rate, right source, right time, and right place. This program will be discussed in more details in this review article.

“…This stat shows the complete ignorance of pulse cultivation by the farmers and governments on the global platform. Pulses are cultivated primarily in rainfed ecosystems and on marginal soils (depleted and degraded soils) and harsh environments that result in a low, highly variable, and unpredictable production and productivity of pulses, compared to cereals (Shukla et al, 2022). Although, throughout the globe, pulses are essential key players in the rainfed agroecosystem, owing to their ability to withstand and perform well under harsh environments, including water, temperature, fertility, and nutritional stress, and their lesser demands on resources (Lal, 2017).…”

Pulses are an important source of energy and protein, essential amino acids, dietary fibers, minerals, and vitamins, and play a significant role in addressing global nutritional security. The global pulse area, production, and average productivity increased from 1961 to 2020 (60 years). Pulses are usually grown under rainfed, highly unstable, and complex production environments, with substantial variability in soil and environmental factors, high year-to-year output variability, and variation in soil moisture. Since the last six decades, there is not much satisfactory improvement in the yield of pulses because of their cultivation in harsh environments, coupled with their continuous ignorance of the farmers and governments in policy planning. As a result, the global food supplies through pulses remained negligible and amounted to merely ~1.0% of the total food supply and 1.2% of the vegan food system. In this situation, protein-rich food is still a question raised at the global level to make a malnutrition-free world. Pulses are a vital component of agricultural biological diversity, essential for tackling climate change, and serve as an energy diet for vegetarians. Pulses can mitigate climate change by reducing the dependence on synthetic fertilizers that artificially introduce nitrogen (N) into the soil. The high demand and manufacture of chemical fertilizers emit greenhouse gases (GHGs), and their overuse can harm the environment. In addition, the increasing demand for the vegetal protein under most global agroecosystems has to be met with under a stressed rainfed situation. The rainfed agroecosystem is a shelter for poor people from a significant part of the globe, such as Africa, South Asia, and Latin America. Nearly, 83% [over 1,260 million hectares (ha)] of cultivated land comes under rainfed agriculture, contributing significantly to global food security by supplying over 60% of the food. In rainfed areas, the limitation of natural resources with the shrinking land, continuous nutrient mining, soil fertility depletion, declining productivity factor, constantly depleting water availability, decreasing soil carbon (C) stock, augmented weed menace, ecological instability, and reduced system productivity are creating a more challenging situation. Pulses, being crops of marginal and semi-marginal soils of arid and semi-arid climates, require less input for cultivation, such as water, nutrients, tillage, labor, and energy. Furthermore, accommodation of the area for the cultivation of pulses reduces the groundwater exploitation, C and N footprints, agrochemical application in the cropping systems, and ill effects of climate change due to their inherent capacity to withstand harsh soil to exhibit phytoremediation properties and to stand well under stressed environmental condition. This article focuses on the role of pulses in ecological services, human wellbeing, soil, environmental health, and economic security for advanced sustainability. Therefore, this study will enhance the understanding of productivity improvement in a system-based approach in a rainfed agroecosystem through the involvement of pulses. Furthermore, the present study highlighted significant research findings and policy support in the direction of exploring the real yield potential of pulses. It will provide a road map to producers, researchers, policymakers, and government planners working on pulses to promote them in rainfed agroecosystems to achieve the United Nations (UN's) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
