Abstract
Environmental degradation has been caused by extensive chemical fertilizer use across globe as per FAO data adding more woes toward pollution. The SDG goals to be achieved by 2030 will find a trigger and get boosted up by getting a before-hand commercially valuable information from the patent documents analyzed in the current study. The objective of this study is to apply existing patent technological information and citation analysis to identify innovative technology trends and both the two methodologies have been used to mine and evaluate the patents and scholarly articles related to emerging role of rhizospheric Streptomyces as sustainable environmental bioadditives. Patent landscaping analysis revealed a total of 96 relevant patents and scholarly article search analysis revealed 26 reoccuring keywords related to Streptomyces as plant growth promoters. Patent results from 2012 to 2022 describes 11 patents related to Streptomyces as biocontrol agents, 7 patents for abiotic stress tolerance, and 16 patents for overall plant growth promotion. Patent landscaping using related keywords ‘Streptomyces & PGPR’ showed active research in this area from the year 2015 and later gained momentum. Mostly, the obtained patents have description about Streptomyces being used as a bioformulation or consortium. This significantly helped to have a holistic approach about it being a multitrait bio-additive and having industrial applicability due to its technical component and its extensive application in sustainability of environment and agriculture. This will serve as a bedrock for similar researchers, policymakers to extract valuable information for further use.
