Response to five different inoculation treatments has been determined in a three-year-old prairie area established at the Becker Sandplain Experiment Station in Fall 2004. Seed inoculation was generally ineffective, but overall legume numbers and biomass in the prairie restorations were enhanced by both soil-applied granular and cover-crop applied inoculants, with soils collected from the prair...

The aim of this study was to determine the effect of applying a bacterial inoculant with enzymes to D. eriantha on the fermentation dynamics during ensiling, the aerobic stability, intake and digestibility of the silage. The grass was ensiled, with or without the addition of a lactic acid bacterial inoculant at 10colony forming units per gram of fresh material, in Cryovac barrier bags. The inoc...

Thompson, J.A. 1983. Production and quality control of carrier-based legume inoculants. Information Bulletin No. 17. Patancheru, A.P., India: International Crops Research Institute for the Semi-Arid Tropics, Commercial production of legume inoculants began in 1895 in the USA and UK. In the 1980s they are produced in all continents. Most are used with powdered organic carriers such as peat, alth...

The effect of a homolactic inoculant containing a blend of Lactobacillus plantarum, Pediococcus acidilactici and Enterococcus faecium or, the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulphate (SDS), alone or in combination on fermentation characteristics, aerobic stability and in situ DM, OM and NDF degradability of barley silage was investigated. Barley (Hordeum vulgare, L.) was harvested (45% DM), ...

Globins (Glbs) are proteins widely distributed in organisms. Three evolutionary families have been identified in Glbs: the M, S and T Glb families. The M Glbs include flavohemoglobins (fHbs) and single-domain Glbs (SDgbs); the S Glbs include globin-coupled sensors (GCSs), protoglobins and sensor single domain globins, and the T Glbs include truncated Glbs (tHbs). Structurally, the M and S Glbs ...

34 Present study was carried out to determine the difference between the wild type rhizobial strains and plasmid cured strains for some important characteristics such as antibiotic resistance. The rhizobial strains were isolated from locally produced legumes of different varieties such as Pisum sativum, Sesbania aculeata, Vigna mungo, Phaseolus vulgaris, Lens culinaris and Arachis hypogea.They ...

ABSTRACT For decades, researchers around the world search for strategies aiming at higher sustainability in agriculture. The microbial inoculants or biofertilizers are biotechnological products used different purposes, main one being to totally partially replace chemical fertilizers, with an emphasis on N-fertilizers, reducing costs of production and decreasing contamination soil, water, atmosp...

Legume Rhizobium associations are undoubtedly form the most important N2-fixing symbiosis and play a subtle role in contributing nitrogen and maintaining/improving soil fertility. A great diversity in the rhizobial species nodulating legumes has been recognized, which belongs to α subgroup of proteobacteria covering the genera, Rhizobium, Sinorhizobium (renamed as Ensifer), Mesorhizobium, Brady...

Experiments were conducted to determine the influence of a toxin-producing fungus on a rhizobial population in yeast-mannitol medium and in a tropical soil. The fungus, which was isolated from a highly weathered soil (Tropeptic Eutrustox), was identified as a Metarhizum sp. The density of rhizobial populations established in yeast-mannitol medium in the absence of the fungus was 10 times higher...
