Agroforestry and Climate Change Mitigation: Strategies for Sustainable Plant Protection Ifrah Khan, Vipula Vyas, Atiraj Rathi, Tanmaya Kumar Bhoi, Sangeeta Singh Agroforestry and Climate Change Mitigation Harnessing Multitrophic Interactions for Sustainable Plant Protection and Ecosystem Resilience, 2026 Agroforestry is a sustainable land-use system that integrates herbaceous crops, livestock, and woody perennials such as trees, shrubs, palms, and bamboos on the same land unit, either spatially or temporally. This practice not only enhances crop production but also provides timber and nontimber products, thereby generating additional income for farmers. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, mitigation refers to corrective actions that reduce greenhouse gas emissions and environmental impacts, such as rising CO₂ levels. Climate change poses serious threats to human civilization, including reduced agricultural productivity, food insecurity, resource depletion, and increased incidence of pests and diseases. Agroforestry offers an effective mitigation strategy through carbon sequestration, whereby atmospheric CO₂ is absorbed and stored in tree biomass and soil. By combining land cultivation, afforestation, and changes in land use, agroforestry contributes significantly to climate change mitigation under mechanisms like the Clean Development Mechanism. The primary goal of mitigation is to lower greenhouse gas concentrations, thereby enhancing soil carbon storage, improving soil 2fertility, and sustaining long-term crop yields. Thus, agroforestry not only supports environmental sustainability but also strengthens food security and rural livelihoods in the face of climate change.
Effect of endophytic entomopathogenic fungi (EEPF) in biological control of Odontotermes obesus (Rambur 1842) and their synergistic impact on plant physiological responses Tanmaya Kumar Bhoi, Deepak Kumar Mahanta, Samreen, Ipsita Samal, Sangeeta Dash, Sangeeta Singh, J. Komal Microbe Netherlands, 2025 The increasing incidence of termite infestation in forest plantations urgent need for sustainable and eco-friendly pest management strategies. Entomopathogenic fungi (EPF) have emerged as potential biocontrol agents that also promote plant health when acting as endophytes. The present study explores the endophytic potential of Metarhizium anisopliae and Beauveria bassiana for the biological control of Odontotermes obesus , a major subterranean termite species damaging forest seedlings. Laboratory virulence assays revealed that M. anisopliae demonstrated higher pathogenicity (LT₅₀: 34.91 h; LT₉₀: 62.34 h) compared to B. bassiana (LT₅₀: 45.26 h; LT₉₀: 98.53 h). Both fungi were tested for endophytic colonization through foliar spray, root dip, and soil drench methods in Dalbergia sissoo, Azadirachta indica, and Prosopis cineraria . Among the methods, foliar application showed the highest colonization, with M . anisopliae achieving up to 89.23% in P. cineraria . Treated seedlings also exhibited enhanced growth parameters, elevated photosynthetic pigments (chlorophyll a: 5.1–5.8 µg/mL; carotenoids: 3.4–3.9 µg/mL), increased secondary metabolites (total phenols: 5.6 mg/g), and improved antioxidant enzyme activities (catalase: 253.5 U/ml; ascorbate peroxidase: 271.6 U/ml), indicating stronger defense and plant vigor. The findings establish M. anisopliae as a promising dual-action agent for termite control and seedling health enhancement. Future research should focus on the molecular basis of EPF-plant symbiosis, long-term field efficacy under varied ecological conditions, and integration of EPF-based biocontrol into forest pest management programs.
Pheno-morphological and biochemical characterization of root nodules and associated root nodulating bacteria from Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre in the arid regions of India Vipula Vyas, Sangeeta Singh, Sunil Choudhary, Tanmaya Kumar Bhoi, Prithwiraj Dey, Anuj Saraswat Frontiers in Plant Science, 2025 Introduction Pongamia pinnata (L.) Pierre is a resilient leguminous tree valued for its biofuel potential and ability to flourish in marginal soils due to symbiotic nitrogen fixation by root-nodulating bacteria (RNB). Understanding the phenomorphological, soil, and biochemical characteristics of its associated RNB is essential for enhancing productivity in arid regions. This study aimed to characterize RNB isolates associated with P. pinnata and assess how soil properties and nodule biochemistry influence plant growth in the arid ecosystems of western Rajasthan. Methods Twenty RNB isolates (PP-01 to PP-20) were collected from P. pinnata nodules across arid sites. Rhizospheric soil samples were analysed for physico-chemical parameters, including pH, EC, organic carbon, and nutrient contents. Nodules were examined for morphology and nitrogen-fixing activity. Biochemical profiling of isolates included phenolics, tannins, FRAP, and total antioxidant capacity. Seedling growth responses to individual isolates were evaluated under controlled conditions. Statistical analyses included multiple regression, stepwise regression, PCA, and hierarchical cluster analysis. Results Soils were alkaline (pH 8.2–9.1) with moderate EC (1.18–1.89 dS m - ¹) and heterogeneous nutrient availability. Nodules exhibited diverse morphology with active nitrogen fixation. Seedling growth differed significantly among isolates, with PP-18, PP-19, and PP-20 showing the highest performance. Biochemical traits varied widely; isolates PP-08, PP-09, PP-14, and PP-20 demonstrated superior antioxidant activity. Multiple regression identified nitrogen, potassium, pH, organic carbon, tannin, and antioxidant content as positive contributors to growth, while phosphorus, phenol, and EC were negative predictors (R² = 0.85). Stepwise regression indicated nitrogen, pH, organic carbon, and tannin as the most influential variables (R² = 0.61). PCA explained 98.8% of the total variance and distinctly separated isolates based on biochemical and growth characteristics. Cluster analysis grouped the twenty sites into three clusters corresponding to soil fertility gradients. Discussion The study demonstrates that both soil nutrient status and nodule biochemical composition jointly regulate P. pinnata growth under arid conditions. High-performing isolates, particularly PP-18, PP-19, and PP-20, possess favourable physiological and biochemical attributes supportive of plant growth. The strong discriminatory power of PCA and clustering highlights the ecological differentiation among isolates across fertility gradients. These results underscore the potential of selecting site-specific, elite RNB strains to enhance P. pinnata productivity, soil fertility, and sustainable agroforestry in arid landscapes.
