The agricultural sector is an important part of the Indian economy. The sector is challenged
by various stresses, leading to huge loss in crop productivity globally and disturbs …

Applications of mineral and organic fertilisers are an important agricultural practice for
improving crop yields, but these applications can also affect soil properties, as well as the …

Nitrogen (N) fertilization is a pivotal contributor to increasing crop yields. The substantial
long-term effects of fertilization on soil microbial communities have been clearly verified …

Manure inputs into soil strongly affect soil microbial communities leading to shifts in
microbial diversity and activity. It is still not clear whether these effects are caused mainly by …

Agricultural systems are increasingly managed for improving soil carbon (C) accumulation.
However, there are limits to C returns in agricultural systems that constrain soil C …

Organic agriculture outperforms conventional agriculture across several sustainability
metrics due, in part, to more widespread use of agroecological practices. However …

Organic and synthetic fertilizers not only increase soil fertility and crop productivity but also
enhance soil organic carbon (SOC). However, the priming effect (PE) leads to increased soil …

Anthropogenic interventions play a key role in promoting positive feedback of soil–plant–
environment interactions, but systematic reports on how anthropogenic activities influence …

The profound intensification of agricultural practices by increased application of agro-
chemicals, short crop rotations and ploughing resulted in loss of soil fertility, erosion and …

In many soils, the bioavailability of Phosphorus (P), an essential macronutrient is a limiting
factor for crop production. Among the mechanisms developed to facilitate the absorption of …
