Article Synopsis
- Nitrogen (N) is a crucial nutrient for plant growth and is the most commonly used fertilizer in agriculture, but only about 50% of applied N is effectively used by crops.
- Excess nitrogen is lost through processes like volatilization, runoff, leaching, and denitrification, which harms the environment and reduces farmers' returns.
- Improving Nitrogen Use Efficiency (NUE) through better management practices and technological advancements is essential for reducing environmental impacts and meeting agricultural demands sustainably.
Microorganisms have dynamic and complex interactions with their hosts. Diverse microbial communities residing near, on, and within the plants, called phytobiome, are an essential part of plant health and productivity. Exploiting citrus-associated microbiomes represents a scientific approach toward sustained and environment-friendly module of citrus production, though periodically exposed to several threats, with Huanglongbing (HLB) predominantly being most influential.
