This study investigates the impact of conservation agriculture (CA) and weed management (WM) practices on the productivity, profitability, soil health, and sustainability of a maize–sunflower cropping system. A strip plot design with 15 treatment combinations was employed, involving 5 tillage methods and three weed control strategies. Five treatments were imposed across kharif (maize) and rabi (sunflower): CT–CT, CT–ZT, ZTR–ZT, ZT–ZTR, and ZTR–ZTR, representing different combinations of conventional tillage, zero tillage, and residue retention practices. The ZTR–ZTR treatment combined with WM consistently achieved lower weed density and dry weight, alongside higher weed control efficiency (>70% at 45 DAS), resulting in significantly improved crop productivity and profitability. This combination also enhanced soil microbial populations (bacteria: 22.7 × 10 6 CFU/g, fungi: 17.2 × 10 4 CFU/g, actinomycetes: 29.5 × 10 5 CFU/g) and enzymatic activities (alkaline phosphatase, urease, and dehydrogenase). WM alone also improved microbial and enzymatic parameters compared to herbicide‐only and unweeded treatments. Herbicide dissipation (pendimethalin and atrazine) followed first‐order kinetics ( R 2 > 0.94), with >80% degradation observed within 30 and 45 days after herbicide application, respectively. These findings indicate that practicing zero tillage combined with residue retention and weed management enhances agroecosystem sustainability, improves soil biological health, and supports efficient and environmentally sound weed control in maize–sunflower systems.

This study presents a comprehensive characterisation of sludge generated from chicken processing industry wastewater (CPW) treated by two advanced methods: electrochemical treatment using iron (Fe) electrodes and chemical coagulation employing alum and polymeric flocculants (Rishfloc 8163, Telfloc 5630). Using a suite of analytical techniques - FTIR, SEM-EDX, TEM, Raman, NMR, XRD, TGA, ICP-OES and nutrient profiling - the chemical, structural, and reuse properties of the resulting sludges were elucidated. Electrochemical treatment produced a compact, iron-rich sludge with low ionic contamination, dominated by amorphous iron hydroxides formed via in situ electrode dissolution. In contrast, chemical coagulation resulted in a lighter, porous sludge containing alum residues and polymeric materials, reflected in higher salinity and conductivity. EDX confirmed dominant iron and oxygen in electrochemical sludge, while chemical sludge showed aluminum and silicon signatures. FTIR and Raman analyses indicated more advanced organic degradation in electrochemical sludge, with distinct iron oxide bands and reduced organic complexity. TEM revealed nanostructured iron particles in electrochemical sludge versus larger amorphous aggregates in chemical sludge. Nutrient analysis demonstrated agronomic potential in both, although chemical sludge contained higher nitrogen and phosphorus. Heavy metal content was within safe limits for reuse. This study underscores the advantages of electrochemical treatment in producing stable, nanostructured sludge suitable for sustainable agro-industrial applications, while recommending further risk assessment for long-term soil health impact.

This study evaluated halotolerant microbial formulations for mitigating salinity stress and improving chilli ( Capsicum annuum ) growth in pulp and paper mill‐contaminated soil. Formulations combining Bacillus velezensis , Kocuria rhizophila , and Kosakonia radicincitans were applied as carrier‐based (CBHF, 4 kg ha − 1 ) and liquid‐based (LBHF, 1500 mL ha − 1 ) treatments, selected through statistically significant improvements in yield and soil fertility. Experiments were conducted with sterile carrier and buffer controls. CBHF and LBHF significantly enhanced organic carbon, nitrogen, and microbial diversity. Metabolomic profiling of root exudates revealed increased osmoprotectants, sugars, and GABA, indicating improved rhizosphere resilience. Metagenomic analysis showed enrichment of salt‐tolerant and plant growth–promoting taxa ( Actinobacteria , Firmicutes ) and functional genes linked to osmoregulation and phosphate solubilization. Field ECE fluctuations were attributed to continuous effluent irrigation. Overall, halotolerant microbial formulations improved soil–plant–microbe interactions and nutrient cycling, demonstrating sustainable potential for bioremediating saline effluent‐irrigated soils.

Photochemistry and Photobiology, 2026
Shade stress is a critical environmental constraint that significantly affects plant growth, development, and productivity. Phytochromes, as red and far‐red light photoreceptors, play a central role in perceiving shading signals and orchestrating complex physiological and molecular responses in crops. This review provides an analysis of phytochrome‐mediated shade stress, highlighting its impacts on key plant processes such as photosynthesis, hormonal regulation, gene expression, and biomass accumulation. We discuss the roles of red and far‐red light in modulating phytochrome activity and downstream signaling pathways, emphasizing how these photoreceptors interact with hormonal networks to influence plant morphology, flowering, and stress adaptation. The phytochrome signaling cascade involves intricate light perception and gene regulatory mechanisms that enable plants to adjust their growth under low‐light conditions. Differential responses of C 3 and C 4 plants to shade stress are also examined, revealing species‐specific strategies for coping with reduced light intensity. Moreover, the review outlines current approaches for managing shading stress, including agronomic practices, genetic interventions, and molecular breeding strategies aimed at enhancing light‐use efficiency. By synthesizing recent findings, this article provides insights into the functional roles of phytochromes in mediating shade avoidance and tolerance, offering a framework for future research on crop adaptation to heterogeneous light environments. Understanding phytochrome‐mediated mechanisms is crucial for developing resilient cropping systems that maintain productivity under suboptimal light conditions.
Harnessing the power of microbes for plant protection in regenerative agriculture: A comprehensive review
A. Sowmiya, M. Suganthy, R. Saranya, K. Ganesan, P. Janaki
Journal of Natural Pesticide Research, 2025
The shift toward regenerative agriculture has intensified interest in sustainable plant protection strategies that prioritize ecological balance, soil health and long-term productivity. Among these, the use of beneficial microbes has garnered significant attention for their ability to enhance plant defense, suppress pests and diseases and improve overall crop resilience. This review highlights the growing relevance of microbial agents in advancing sustainable plant protection and examines their potential applications within regenerative agricultural systems that emphasize reduced chemical inputs and ecological harmony. It explores key microbial groups including plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes and biocontrol agents and extrapolates their contributions to plant health through mechanisms such as nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, phytohormone production, systemic resistance induction and antagonism of pathogens and insect pests. Particular emphasis is placed on entomopathogenic fungi, Beauveria bassiana , Metarhizium spp ., Isaria spp ., and Verticillium spp ., the bacteria, Bacillus thuringiensis , entomopathogenic nematodes, Heterorhabditis and Steinernema spp . and entomopathogenic protozoa, Nosema spp ., all of which have demonstrated efficacy in controlling a broad spectrum of insect pests. These microbes act through multiple mechanisms, including enzymatic degradation of the insect cuticle, toxin-mediated mortality, interference with host metabolism, septicemia induced by nematode–bacterial symbiosis and long-term host suppression by protozoan infection, making them versatile agents in integrated pest management strategies. This review critically examines their efficacy, specificity, advantages and limitations under both laboratory and field conditions. It further explores challenges related to formulation stability, environmental persistence, delivery systems and compatibility with regenerative practices such as organic amendments and conservation tillage. Real-world case studies and field-based evidence are presented to underscore the practical relevance and scalability of microbial-based pest management. The review concludes that beneficial microbes not only offer effective pest suppression but also enhance plant growth and stress resilience, positioning them as vital tools for regenerative agriculture. Their integration into farming systems represents a biologically sound, ecologically responsible and scalable pathway toward sustainable agricultural transformation. • Beneficial microbes are pivotal for sustainable plant protection within regenerative agriculture frameworks. • Key microbial groups such as PGPR, mycorrhizal fungi, endophytes, and biocontrol agents bolster plant health through diverse mechanisms including nutrient acquisition, phytohormone production, and pest/pathogen suppression. • Entomopathogenic fungi and Bacillus thuringiensis exhibit strong potential for biological pest control through multiple modes of action. • Critical evaluation reveals challenges in formulation, environmental persistence and integration with regenerative practices like organic amendments and conservation tillage. • Field-based case studies confirm that microbial agents can enhance crop resilience, reduce chemical inputs, and support ecological balance in scalable regenerative agriculture systems.

Plant Science Today, 2025
Non-chemical weed management strategies in transplanted rice (Oryza sativa L.) were evaluated for their effect on nutrient uptake, soil microbial population and grain nutritional parameters during rabi 2022 and kharif 2024 at Tamil Nadu Agricultural University, Coimbatore. The experiment setup consisted of twelve treatments laid out in a randomized block design (RBD) with three replications. Hand weeding (HW) twice at 20 and 40 DAT (T11) recorded the least NPK uptake by weed in both rabi 2022 (N:10.85, 12.48, 12.89, 12. 51 kg ha-1, P: 5.31, 6.67, 7.97, 9.39 kg ha-1, K: 15.92, 22.69, 26.91, 28.48 kg ha-1) and kharif 2024 (N: 10.74, 12.62, 12.78, 12.76 kg ha-1, P: 5.44, 6.81, 8.19, 9.6 kg ha-1, K: 16.19, 23.08, 27.39, 28.81 kg ha-1) at 30, 45, 60, 80 DAT respectively. Butachlor @ 1 kg ha-1 at 3 DAT as pre-emergence (PE) + bispyribac sodium @ 25 g ha-1 at 25 DAT as post-emergence (POE) (T9) recorded the highest NPK uptake by plant in both rabi 2022 (NPK: 51.5, 7.58, 79.1 kg ha-1) which was at par with T11 and during kharif 2024, T11 recorded the highest NPK uptake by plants (NPK: 51.0, 7.83, 76.2 kg ha-1) which was at par with T9. Mycoherbicide foliar spray treatments (T2 and T10) at 25 DAT + HW at 40 DAT increased soil available nutrients and microbial populations with the highest NPK available in soil recorded in T10 (NPK: 219.3, 20.80, 734.0 kg ha-1) in rabi 2022 and (NPK: 220.9, 21.42, 723.0 kg ha-1) in kharif 2024 which was on par with T2 and the highest microbial population recorded in T10 (Bacteria: 9.78 × 10⁷ CFU g-1, Fungi: 5.14 × 10³ CFU g-1, Actinomycetes: 6.45 × 10⁴ CFU g-1) in rabi 2022 and (Bacteria: 9.87 × 10⁷ CFU g-1) in kharif 2024 which was on par with T2 and T2 recording the highest fungi population of 5.06 × 10³ CFU g-1 and actinomycetes population of 6.42 × 10⁴ CFU g-1 which was on par with T10 in kharif 2024. Grain nutritional parameters (protein, crude fibre, fat, carbohydrates) showed no significant variation across treatments (p > 0.05). Bibliometric analysis revealed a research gap in non-chemical weed control with only 11 publications compared to 1783 on general weed management in rice (1990-2025). These findings highlight the potential of non-chemical weed management strategies to improve nutrient efficiency and soil health and therefore, strengthening and validating the pressing need for sustainable rice production.
