“…By enhancing Zn uptake, ZSB have the potential not only to maximize crop yields but also to improve the nutritional quality of food, ultimately mitigating hidden hunger (Upadhayay et al, 2022d) [27] . Furthermore, ZSB exhibit various plant growth-promoting traits such as phosphate solubilization, production of IAA, siderophore, EPS, and more, exhibiting their promising application as bioinoculants (Bhatt and Maheshwari, 2020; Upadhayay et al, 2022bUpadhayay et al, , 2023aUpadhayay et al, , 2023b) [1,23,21,22] . While the application of ZSB for Zn biofortification holds great promise, their performance under different environmental conditions, particularly varying moisture levels, is a critical aspect that requires thorough examination.…”

The present study elucidates the efficiency of zinc solubilization and the plant growth-promoting (PGP) traits exhibited by selected zinc-solubilizing bacterial (ZSB) strains. Qualitative analysis unveils distinct variations in solubilization efficiency, with isolate FMBR110 demonstrating exceptional proficiency in solubilizing zinc from various insoluble sources. PGP traits, encompassing phosphate solubilization, siderophore production, indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) synthesis, exopolysaccharide (EPS) generation, hydrogen cyanide (HCN) emission, and ammonia production are quantified, spotlighting the functional diversity among isolates. Notably, FMAR106 showed the highest phosphate solubilization zone value (2.20 cm), while FMBR110 exceled in siderophore production (4.37 cm halo zone), IAA synthesis (24.09 µg/ml), and stands out as the sole producer of HCN. Furthermore, isolate FMBR110, exhibited remarkable tolerance to water stress, even in high water saturated soil conditions. The study accentuates the importance of selecting ZSB strains tailored to specific water conditions in agriculture, offering promising solutions for sustainable crop production, particularly in high waterstressed regions or flooding conditions.

Advances in nanotechnology have transformed various fields, including agriculture. Nanomaterials (NMs) ranging in size from 1 to 100 nm are used as nanofertilizers and nanopesticides to increase agricultural yield. However, although the application of NMs has a strong effect on plant growth, it can also have an impact on the soil ecosystem and its functional properties. In addition, soil microbial communities, essential components of the soil ecosystem, perform various tasks, from forming soil structure to supporting plant growth. In this context, it becomes necessary to elucidate the role of the effects of NMs on soil microbial communities, enzymatic activities and nutrient cycling. However, some studies show positive effects, while others indicate negative effects on soil microbes. Therefore, selecting appropriate NMs is crucial for optimal performance in broader applications while maintaining the vitality of the soil ecosystem. This chapter focuses on the diverse impacts on soil microbial communities, enzymatic activities and nutrient cycling.
