Actinorhizal plants and Frankiaceae: The overlooked future of phytoremediation

mycolabadmin

Actinorhizal plants are special trees and shrubs that team up with beneficial bacteria called Frankiaceae to clean up polluted and degraded soils. This natural partnership helps these plants survive harsh conditions like salty or heavy metal-contaminated soil while also cleaning up the environment. The bacteria help the plants by providing essential nitrogen and improving their ability to tolerate pollution, making them an inexpensive and sustainable solution for restoring degraded farmland.

Development and Transfer of Microbial Agrobiotechnologies in Contrasting Agrosystems: Experience of Kazakhstan and China

mycolabadmin

Microbial consortia—communities of beneficial microorganisms—offer promising solutions to modern agriculture’s challenges by enhancing plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and restoring soil health. China has successfully integrated these microbial products into farming through strong government support and research infrastructure, while Kazakhstan has the scientific knowledge but faces funding and implementation challenges. This comparative study shows that adopting these technologies requires both scientific advancement and practical support systems tailored to each country’s specific needs.

The Importance of Humic Acids in Shaping the Resistance of Soil Microorganisms and the Tolerance of Zea mays to Excess Cadmium in Soil

mycolabadmin

This research explores how humic acids, which are natural organic substances found in soil, can help protect plants and soil bacteria from cadmium, a toxic heavy metal. When cadmium contaminated soil, the application of humic acid preparation called Humus Active promoted the growth of specialized bacteria that can tolerate and break down cadmium. As a result, corn plants grew better and maize biomass increased significantly when the soil was treated with the humic preparation, suggesting this is a practical solution for farming on contaminated land.
