Do Biofertilisers Increase Productivity in Leguminous Crops? A Critical Review of Rhizobial Inoculation, Microbial Consortia and Field-level Yield Responses

Manju M. George · Asian Soil Research Journal · 2026

Biofertilisers are promoted as low-input tools for increasing legume productivity, yet the category encompasses biologically distinct interventions whose field performance is not equally reliable. This critical narrative review evaluates whether microbial inoculants increase the...

Biofertilizers and Organic Inputs in Horticultural Crop Production: Recent Advances and Future Prospects

Manju M. George · Asian Journal of Agricultural and Horticultural Research · 2026

Horticultural production is increasingly required to deliver high yields and premium quality while reducing dependence on mineral fertilisers, improving soil function and maintaining resilience under salinity, drought, heat and nutrient stress. Biofertilisers and organic inputs a...

Micropropagation and Phytochemical Research in Aerva lanata: A Critical Synthesis of Regeneration Systems, Metabolite Evidence and Translational Priorities

Manju M. George · Asian Journal of Research in Botany · 2026

Aerva lanata (L.) Juss. ex Schult. is a medicinally important amaranthaceous taxon used particularly in South Asian and African traditions for urinary, renal, metabolic and inflammatory disorders. Research on the plant has developed along two largely parallel tracks: protocols fo...
