This study investigates the production of bioethanol from cassava peels using inherent isolated microorganisms. Cassava were collected processing unit in selected towns Ekiti State. Microorganisms by pour plate method; isolates identified different biochemical tests and molecular characterization. The bacterial include, Sporosarcina terrae, Bacillus cereus, Proteus mirabilis Pseudomonas taiwane...

Harvester ants often selectively forage seeds, causing these to be viewed as pests in agricultural areas where they may on crop seeds. While little research has been done harvester ant preferences for cover grower observations the Lower Rio Grande Valley (LRGV) suggest that remove seeds before germination. We examined red (Pogonomyrmex barbatus F. Smith) (fescue, oat, sunn hemp, radish, vetch, ...

The burgeoning global market for soil microbial inoculants use in agriculture is being driven by pressure to increase sustainable crop production managing pests and diseases without environmental impacts. Microbial inoculants, based predominantly on bacteria fungi, are applied as alternatives conventional inorganic fertilizers (biofertilizers) or carry out specific functions including biocontro...

ABSTRACT Indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) is a phytohormone produced by many rhizobacterial species to mediate plant colonization while promoting growth. The colorimetric assay widely used analyze the bacterial IAA biosynthesis because it straightforward, cost-effective and fast technique. However, characterization of parts or fractions inoculant formulations rarely performed. This study aimed determ...

introduction: biofertilizers have been identified as alternative to chemical fertilizers to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable farming systems. one of the most useful kind of biofertilizers include plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr). azospirillum is an associative rhizobacteria which can be very useful for plants such as wheat. it can help plant by fixing nitrog...

Film-coating of seeds is a widely accepted technology in agriculture for effectively protecting germinating and seedlings against biotic abiotic stresses successfully delivering agro-chemicals, biomolecules, bio-inoculants to the rhizosphere region. The present experiments explored possibility using hydroxypropyl methylcellulose (HPMC) dextrin as film-coating agents impregnating maize seed with...

The influence of broomrape infection and microbial inoculants (Rhizo-Vam Basic®, Mycoplant® Funky Fungi®) on the mineral composition oriental tobacco was studied in a pot experiment. Eight treatments were tested, distributed following four groups: (1) control; (2) treatment with infection; (3) mycorrhizal (4) broomrape+mycorrhizal inoculants. Broomrape reduced dry weight leaves by 31.4% compare...
