The microbiome is a term used to describe the genetic material of the microbiome, consisting of microorganisms that exist inside and on the bodies of plants, animals, and soil. The microbiome plays a vital role in agriculture. It is responsible for maintaining soil health, promoting plant growth, and preserving ecosystem resilience. By harnessing the power of the microbiome, we can develop sustainable farming practices that increase crop productivity and decrease the use of harmful chemical inputs such as fertilizers and pesticides. The progress made in this field is significant, from the development and commercialization of microbial inoculants to precision microbiome management technologies that help analyze and predict microbiome behaviour under different conditions. Moreover, the principles of regenerative agriculture, which emphasize restoring soil health through practices that enhance the microbiome, have gained traction. Governments and international organizations have recognized the importance of microbiome research in agriculture and are funding research projects and initiatives to understand and utilize the microbiome for sustainable farming practices. The future of agriculture relies on our ability to comprehend and manage the microbiome. Ongoing research and innovation are crucial to unlocking the full potential of microbial communities for sustainable and productive agriculture. With the continued support of governments, organizations, and individuals, we can build a brighter, more sustainable future for agriculture. #innovation #microbes #agriculture Bionema Group Limited The World Bioprotection Forum

Why is the microbiome🦠 the biggest secret in regenerative agriculture? 🌱 👇Here are some intriguing insights to consider in evaluating greenhouse gas emission reductions linked to regenerative land management practices that boost soil organic carbon levels. 🍄🍄The findings suggest that fungal necromass could be a significant indicator of soil organic carbon content. 👩🔬Additionally, scientific research sheds light on how management practices and climatic conditions impact the composition, physiology, and functions of microbial communities, subsequently influencing soil organic carbon accumulation in croplands. #GreenhouseGas #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilHealth #Sustainability

Building a healthy soil microbiome is crucial for the success of regenerative agriculture (RA) practices. A diverse and abundant soil microbiome enhances soil fertility, increases carbon sequestration, improves soil structure and water retention, stimulates plant growth, and suppresses plant pathogens - reducing the need for synthetic inputs.[1] The review (https://lnkd.in/e6g4MeGx) highlights how various RA practices can impact the soil microbiome: ## No-Tillage No-till farming can promote greater microbial diversity by reducing physical disturbance and preserving microhabitats, though benefits may be limited in conventional low-diversity systems.[1] ## Increasing Plant Diversity Diverse crop rotations, cover crops, and pastures increase microbial abundance, activity, and diversity, particularly fungi involved in carbon sequestration and nutrient cycling.[1] Plant and microbial diversity are closely linked, with increases in one promoting the other. ## Grazing Management Optimizing grazing patterns alters microbial communities, with potential increases in fungal biomass and shifts in bacterial functional profiles related to nutrient cycling processes like nitrification.[1] Grazing animal type also influences microbial responses. ## Organic Amendments Applying organic amendments like manure and compost promotes beneficial microbes involved in nutrient cycling and plant growth promotion activities.[1] The review emphasizes integrating microbial data into long-term, holistic RA research across diverse systems and spatiotemporal scales. This could lead to biologically relevant monitoring tools and strategies to leverage the soil microbiome for enhancing soil health, productivity, sustainability, and climate change mitigation under RA.[1] #RegenerativeAgriculture #SoilMicrobiome #SoilHealth #SustainableAgriculture #NoTill #CoverCrops #CropDiversity #GrazingManagement #OrganicAmendments #CarbonSequestration #NutrientCycling #PlantGrowthPromotion #BioControl #ClimateChange #EnvironmentalSustainability #MicrobialResearch #AgriculturalMicrobiology #SoilMicrobiology #SoilEcology #AgroEcology Citations: [1] https://lnkd.in/e4EDGV2q Thanks to Elizabeth Westaway for the initial share.
