Unlocking Nutrient Potential: Harness The Power Of Micro-Nutrient Solubilizing Bacteria: A Review
Main Article Content
Abstract
Micro-nutrient solubilizing bacteria (MSB) play a pivotal role in the growth
and developmentof plants by enhancing the availability of essential micronutrients in the soil. These bacteria possess unique capabilities to solubilize
otherwise unavailable forms of micro-nutrients, such as iron, zinc, copper,
manganese, and others. As a result, they improve nutrient uptake, plant
health, and overall crop productivity. The use of MSB in agriculture can
reduce reliance on chemical fertilizers, which can be costly and have negative
environmental impacts. By makingmicro-nutrients more available, MSB help
optimize the use of existing soil nutrients.MSB canalso contribute to soil
health and overall environmental sustainability. Additionally, MSB is
adaptable to various soil types and climates, making them suitable for diverse
agricultural settings. Their compatibility with sustainable practices aligns
with efforts to promote environmentally friendly agricultural systems.
Improving nutrient availability promotes balanced ecosystems and reduces
the risk of nutrient runoff, which can harm water bodies. Some MSB has
been reported to induce systemic resistance in plants against certain
pathogens. They trigger the plant's defense mechanisms, making it more
resistant to diseases. This review aims to provide an in-depth understanding
of the mechanisms through which MSBexert their beneficial effects on plants
and the potential implications for sustainable agriculture.It covers various
aspects of MSB, including their identification, functions, interactions with
plants, environmental factors influencing their activity, and their applications
in modern agriculture
