Methane-derived microbial biostimulant reduces greenhouse gas emissions and improves rice yield

More than half of the world's population consumes rice as their primary food. The majority of rice production is concentrated in Asia, with the top 10 rice-growing countries accounting for 84% of the world's total rice cultivation. However, rice production is also strongly linked to environmental changes. Among all the global sources of greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, paddy cultivation stands out as a significant contributor to global methane (CH
