By promoting crop flexibility, it could help feed billions of added mouths despite shrinking land and water, rising oil and fertilizer costs, increasing soil exhaustion, growing resistance of insects to pesticides and looming climate change.
In the developed world, farmers use unsustainable levels of inorganic fertilisers to promote crop production.
Human land-use strategies involving the management of rainfall and runoff to promote crop production are found throughout the world.
Streptomyces sp. are efficient in degrading cellulose and promote crop growth (El-Tarabily 2008; Gopalakrishnan et al. 2011, 2014, 2015, 2016).
Some bacteria and fungi are responsible for providing nutrients and essential materials, which can promote crop growth (Eo and Park 2016; Esitken et al. 2010).
The combined used of PGPB and HS was used to (i) promote crop production, (ii) mitigation of plant stress effect and (iii) microorganism protection.
Moreover, maintaining landscape heterogeneity to support elevated β-diversities of arable plants requires cropping systems that promote crop diversity in both space and time.
Natural and semi-natural habitats within agricultural landscapes provide food and nesting resources for wild bees, thus promoting crop pollination services.
Owing to decreasing arable land, cultivation of safflower in saline environments might be needed in order to promote crop biomass and secondary metabolites production.
