Transforming Roles of Actinobacteria in Sustainable Agriculture: From Soil Health and Plant Productivity Perspective

In Recent days the Climatic changes, including rising global temperatures and increased air pollution, has the major effect on agricultural productivity. The excessive use of artificial fertilizers and pesticides exacerbates climate stress by producing greenhouse gas emissions (GHG) and toxic soil deposits. At this crucial time, there is an urgent need to combat climate change stress via the transition to more sustainable crop production practices to ensure food security. Interest in employing beneficial microorganisms as plant or soil inoculants to improve plant health or reduce both biotic and abiotic pressures has developed in light of the negative consequences of agrochemical-related pollution. These microbes include fungus, bacteria, and Actinobacteria. Beneficial Actinobacteria are reviewed in this review along with their responsibilities in sustainable plant production. Positive effects Actinobacteria are proficient colonizers of plant tissues, encompassing both aerial and root segments. Their ability to function as antagonists against pests and plant diseases is enhanced by the fact that they are active makers of essential natural components including volatile organic compounds and antibiotics. Furthermore, even in the face of abiotic stress, a range of commercial crops have demonstrated their ability to drive plant development through a number of mechanisms. This has led to the widespread use of Actinobacteria as biofertilizers to boost plant productivity. Actinobacteria and their natural products are important, which is why the industrial sector introduced them to create safe, inexpensive, and effective biopesticides and fertilizers. In conclusion, Actinobacteria can play a central role in agricultural sustainability, ensuring further growth in agricultural output.
