Reproductive Behaviour of Lemon (Citrus limon Burm.) Affected by Different Pruning Intensities and Integrated Nutrient Management under Various Growing Season

In the present study we examined the effect of nanogypsum and Pseudomonas taiwanensis strain BCRC 17751on plant and soil health using conventional and metagenomics approaches. Soil physicochemical properties and agronomical parameters of maize plants were reported to be better when applied with nanogypsum and bacterial inoculum together. When compared to control a significant increase in total bacterial counts, nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium (NPK) solubilizing bacterial population and soil enzyme activities (fluorescein diacetate, alkaline phosphatase, dehydrogenase, β-glucosidase, arylesterase and amylase) was reported in treatments. The metagenomics studies revealed dominance of beneficial bacteria such as Proteobacteria, Bacteriodetes, Planctomycetes, Acidobacteria and Nitrospirae in treated soil. On the other hand some novel bacterial diversity was also reported in treated soil which was evident from presence of taxonomically unclassified sequences. Hence, it can be concluded that combined application of nanogypsum and Pseudomonas taiwanensis in maize help in improving the structure and function of soil which affects the plant health without causing any toxic effect. However, in situ validation of the prescribed treatment is required under field conditions on different crops in order to give maximum benefits to the farmers and the environment.

Citrus trees (Citrus spp.) one of the main fruit crops worldwide, currently, due to excessive use of inorganic fertilizers, there is a serious threat to human health and the environment. The use of various types of biofertilizers like nitrogen fixers, phosphorus solubilizers, phosphorus mobilizers, and potassium solubilizers enhancing citrus growth, both directly by increasing resource acquisition (nitrogen, phosphorus, and essential minerals), producing Siderophore, stimulate Phytohormone production, or indirectly by increase plant tolerance of pathogens as a part of integrated pest management, and maintain soil fertility and protect the environment.
