Sustainable agriculture represents the responsible utilization of natural resources while safeguarding the well-being of the natural environment. It encompasses the objectives of preserving the environment, fostering economic growth, and promoting socioeconomic equality. To achieve sustainable development for humanity, it is imperative to prioritize sustainable agriculture. One significant approach to achieving this transition is the extensive utilization of microbes, which play a crucial role due to the genetic reliance of plants on the beneficial functions provided by symbiotic microbes. This review focuses on the significance of rhizospheric microbial communities, also known as the rhizomicrobiome (RM). It is a complex community of microorganisms that live in the rhizosphere and influence the plant's growth and health. It provides its host plant with various benefits related to plant growth, including biocontrol, biofertilization, phytostimulation, rhizoremediation, stress resistance, and other advantageous properties. Yet, the mechanisms by which the RM contributes to sustainable agriculture remain largely unknown. Investigating this microbial population presents a significant opportunity to advance toward sustainable agriculture. Hence, this study aims to provide an overview of the diversity and applications of RM in sustainable agriculture practices. Lately, there has been growing momentum in various areas related to rhizobiome research and its application in agriculture. This includes rhizosphere engineering, synthetic microbiome application, agent-based modeling of the rhizobiome, and metagenomic studies. So, developing bioformulations of these beneficial microorganisms that support plant growth could serve as a promising solution for future strategies aimed at achieving a new green revolution.
可持续农业代表着在保护自然环境福祉的同时，对自然资源的负责任利用。它包含保护环境、促进经济增长和促进社会经济平等的目标。为了实现人类的可持续发展，必须优先考虑可持续农业。实现这一转变的一个重要方法是广泛利用微生物，由于植物在遗传上依赖于共生微生物提供的有益功能，因此微生物发挥着至关重要的作用。本综述重点介绍了根际微生物群落（也称为根际微生物组）的重要性。它是一个生活在根际的微生物群落，影响植物的生长和健康。它为宿主植物提供了与植物生长相关的各种益处，包括生物防治、生物肥料、植物刺激、根际修复、抗逆性和其他有利特性。然而，根际微生物组对可持续农业的贡献的机制在很大程度上尚不清楚。研究这一微生物群体为迈向可持续农业提供了一个重要机会。因此，本研究旨在概述 RM 在可持续农业实践中的多样性和应用。最近，根际微生物组研究及其在农业中的应用的各个领域都取得了长足的进展。这包括根际工程、合成微生物组应用、基于根际微生物组的代理模型和宏基因组学研究。因此，开发这些有益于植物生长的有益微生物的生物制剂可能是未来实现新绿色革命战略的一个有前途的解决方案。
