Description

Ajay Kumar Mishra and co-authors compared soil microbes under organic and chemical farming at a rice research site in India, in work published in 2024. The catalog lists 2025, but the text head gives 2024, so that year is used here. Gene reads from soil DNA were used to profile bacteria and fungi.

The two soils held clearly different microbe mixes. Soil under natural farming held more kinds of decomposer bacteria and fungi, with forty unique elements against nineteen in the chemical soil. It also held higher shares of major microbe groups. The authors say organic inputs can enrich soil life, and they call for more work on how these microbes affect yield and nutrient cycles.
