Biochar has gained worldwide attention due to its role in soil fertility, bio-energy production, environmental remediation, and carbon sequestration processes (Suliman et al. 2017). It has been observed that biochar has the outstanding ability to immobilize the organic and inorganic contaminants from the soil as well as water environment (Wei et al. 2018). Moreover, it is an economical way to reduce antibiotics, aromatic dyes, and agrochemicals from the environment (Qiao et al. 2018; Dash et al. 2021; Kumar et al. 2021). It thus helps in reducing bioaccumulation, which otherwise leads entering of persistent, non-biodegradable inorganic and organic compounds into the food chain and causes various health problems. This characteristic makes the biochar more popular along with its diverse applications involving adsorption, microporosity, ion exchangeability, etc. (Rehman et al. 2016; Kour et al. 2021). Anthropogenic activities are imposing harmful effects on nature and deteriorating it day by day. Agrochemicals, biomedical waste, and industrial effluents are among Balram Sahu and Anisha Srivastava contributed equally with all other contributors.

Several scientific groups have developed a wide range of methodologies for analyzing the structure, diversity, and functions of microbial populations to better understand rhizosphere biology and rhizosphere–microbe interactions. In this chapter we will discuss some of the advanced molecular tools available to explore microbial diversity of rhizosphere.

In the present investigation total 8 treatments T1 Control (No inoculum no fertilizer), T2-Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (N:P:K::20:40:20), T3-Rhi.HG-25+PSB-H-27, T4 Rhi.HG-25+Korba PSB-118, T5-Rhi.L-3 Lathyrus+ PSB-H-27, T6 Rhi.L-3 Lathyrus+Korba PSB-118, T7- Rhi.L-11 Lathyrus+PSB-H-27, T8 Rhi.L-11Lathyrus+Korba PSB-118 and replication three. The highest total N uptake was observed in Treatment T8 (73.12 kg/ha) followed by Treatment T3 (Rhi.HG-25+PSB-H-27) 70.17 (kg/ha) and least total N uptake was observed in T1 control (32.22 kg/ha). The highest total P uptake was observed in Treatment T4 (Rhi.HG-25+Korba PSB-118) 4.39 kg/ha followed by Treatment T8 (3.74 kg/ha) and least total P uptake was observed in T1 control (1.59 kg/ha).

Prokaryotes are the most abundant organisms in the soil and constitute the largest component of the soil biomass. In their native ecosystem, microorganisms live under different kinds of interactions that decide their survival and functioning. Both positive and negative interactions may operate under natural conditions. While negative interactions are inhibitory for microbial growth and development; positive ones are among the beneficial and sometimes obligatory for the growth of some other microorganisms. Therefore, these soil microbial communities may affect plant growth and development in several ways. They may have a direct or indirect role in plant growth and development through the synthesis of different chemical regulators in the rhizosphere's proximity. Under direct mechanisms, they help the plants in macro/micronutrient uptake as well as by modulating pla...

In the present investigation total of 8 treatments T1 -Control (No inoculum no fertilizer), T2- Recommended Dose of Fertilizer RDF(N:P: K::20:40:20), T3- Rhi.HG-25 (Std.) + PSB-H-27 (Std.), T4 Rhi.HG-25 + Korba PSB-118, T5 - Rhi.L-3 Lathyrus + PSB-H-27, T6 Rhi.L-3 Lathyrus + Korba PSB-118, T7- Rhi.L-11 Lathyrus + PSB-H-27 , T8 Rhi.L-11 Lathyrus + Korba PSB-118. Recommended Dose of Fertilizer (RDF) T2 recorded maximum and significantly higher value of plant height over rest of the treatments at 45, 60 DAS and at maturity except T7 (Rhi.L-11 Lathyrus + PSB-H-27) treatment which was statistically similar at mat...
