Bio-transforming maize husk residue into a multi-omics-validated biostimulant: Agro-waste bioformulation sustaining micronutrient delivery in millets
Widespread iron and zinc deficiencies in cultivated soils impair crop performance and nutrition, while agro-waste recycling offers a cost-effective and bioavailable alternative to conventional fertilizers. Present study explored the aspect of transforming maize husk derived extract as a bioactive material for stabilizing Fe and Zn using a validated multi-omics approach to transform maize waste in bio-input. Maize husk extract incubation with 2.5 % Fe–Zn solution led to reduced levels of free elements (Fe: 11,250 mg L−1; Zn: 12,300 mg L−1) presenting successful micronutrient complexation in Atomic Absorption Spectroscopy. Dynamic Light Scattering revealed that, against the commercial micronutrient (∼2000 nm), MHE incubation reduced particle size to ∼300–600 nm with improved uniformity. Scanning Electron and Transmission Electron Microscopy further revealed uniform spherical particles embedded within the maize husk, confirming successful micronutrient stabilization. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy analysis indicated intensified chelating functional groups (–OH, –COOH), and metabolomic profiling showed ∼2-fold enrichment of citric (RT ∼12.3 min), malic (RT ∼15.6 min), and gallic acids (RT ∼21.4 min), acting as key chelators. Metagenomic analysis identified siderophore-producing Streptomyces scabrisporus (0.31 %) and Pseudomonas umsongensis (0.52 %) as dominant contributors to organic acid biosynthesis and micronutrient mobilization. Subsequent field trials with six millet crops confirmed that MHE-based foliar formulations significantly enhanced Fe and Zn uptake (25–45 %) and increased grain yield by up to 25 %, especially in foxtail and pearl millet, validating the bioavailability and agronomic efficacy of this waste-derived innovation. These findings validate MHE as an ecofriendly biostimulant that improves micronutrient bioavailability while valorizing agro-waste for sustainable agriculture.
期刊介绍:
Biomass & Bioenergy is an international journal publishing original research papers and short communications, review articles and case studies on biological resources, chemical and biological processes, and biomass products for new renewable sources of energy and materials.
The scope of the journal extends to the environmental, management and economic aspects of biomass and bioenergy.
Key areas covered by the journal:
• Biomass: sources, energy crop production processes, genetic improvements, composition. Please note that research on these biomass subjects must be linked directly to bioenergy generation.
• Biological Residues: residues/rests from agricultural production, forestry and plantations (palm, sugar etc), processing industries, and municipal sources (MSW). Papers on the use of biomass residues through innovative processes/technological novelty and/or consideration of feedstock/system sustainability (or unsustainability) are welcomed. However waste treatment processes and pollution control or mitigation which are only tangentially related to bioenergy are not in the scope of the journal, as they are more suited to publications in the environmental arena. Papers that describe conventional waste streams (ie well described in existing literature) that do not empirically address ''new'' added value from the process are not suitable for submission to the journal.
• Bioenergy Processes: fermentations, thermochemical conversions, liquid and gaseous fuels, and petrochemical substitutes
• Bioenergy Utilization: direct combustion, gasification, electricity production, chemical processes, and by-product remediation
• Biomass and the Environment: carbon cycle, the net energy efficiency of bioenergy systems, assessment of sustainability, and biodiversity issues.
