This book covers aspects of biological nitrogen fixation along with the unique signaling and interaction between the diazotrophic bacteria and plants, especially the non-legumes. Nitrogen is the most important growth-limiting nutrient in the ecosystems and biological nitrogen fixation involving microbial symbionts, mainly rhizobia and legumes holds enormous interest across the globe. However, free-living rhizobacteria of non-legumes especially cereals, also establish themselves within the root system, fixing nitrogen and contributing to plant productivity, soil fertility, and agricultural sustainability. These non-symbiotic nitrogen fixers additionally exhibit various plant growth-promoting ...
This ground-breaking Encyclopedia provides a nuanced overview of the key concepts of urban and regional planning and design. Embracing a broad understanding of planning and design within and beyond the professions, it examines what planners and designers can do in and for a community.

In the face of climate change, agricultural and horticultural systems are encountering challenges related to resource availability, agrochemical restrictions, and production costs. The use of biostimulants as plant strengtheners and green biotechnological strategies offers potential solutions. However, there are limitations to their field application, making it crucial to bridge the gap between lab research and practical implementation. Meanwhile, the need for safe and environmentally friendly practices to ensure sustainable food production in challenging climates is growing. This Research Topic aims to explore the field application of biostimulants and novel biotechnological approaches for enhancing crop productivity and stress tolerance. We invite authors to submit research papers on the application of biostimulants in cropping systems under field conditions, including arable and permanent crops.
Feeding an expanding population in light of environmental preservation and keeping production lean is a considerable challenge. Sustainable and Precise Agriculture relying on Industry 4.0 (Agri4) points toward creating strategic collaborations, innovations, and alternative approaches to old concerns, and incorporating solutions from other expertise domains. It requires intensive efforts from governments, investors, investigators, and developers. These initiatives address many problems while connecting more agrarians and their communities. Agri4 entails key agribusiness developments, viz. precision agriculture, biotech, IoT, and Big Data, to augment efficiency in dealing with growing populati...
