Biofertilizers: Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow
Abstract: India, being an agriculture-based country, there has always been a concern about crop improvement here. Chemical fertilizers increased crops yield, but eventually leached out soil, polluted water basins, degraded ecosystems, reducing soil fertility and thus causing damage to overall environment. Organic fertilizers are costlier and they released nutrients in the surrounding environment thus degrading soil and water quality and human health. Thus came into picture the use of GM crops …

Saccharomyces Cerevisiae and Pichia Pastoris Optimize NH4NO3 by 50 % in Solanum Lycopersicum Preventing N2O Release.
Abstract: In agriculture, the unregulated application of NH4NO3 for healthy growth of Solanum lycopersicum is associated in the soil with the denitrification of free NO3- (nitrate), with an increase in N2O, a greenhouse gas, that contributes to global warming, loss of soil fertility. An ecological option to avoid denitrification that releases N2O as other environmental problems is to inoculate S. lycopersicum seeds with endophytic yeasts that promote plant growth, such as …

Climate-Induced Infertility in Dairy Cows: Pathways, Challenges, and Solutions for Sustainable Dairy Development
Abstract: Climate change has emerged as a significant challenge to dairy production, with profound implications for reproductive performance in dairy cows. The interplay of rising temperatures, fluctuating rainfall patterns, and increased frequency of extreme weather events disrupts key physiological, nutritional, and behavioral processes essential for fertility. Heat stress alters hormonal balance, impairs oocyte and embryo quality, reduces estrus expression, and affects pregnancy outcomes. Concurrently, climate-induced nutritional deficits, immune suppression, and increased …
