Corn silage is an important source of forage, but whether or not bacterial inoculants should be applied somewhat controversial in ruminant feeding practice. In the present study, chopped whole corn plants treated with a single inoculant Lactobacillus buchneri (LB), plantarum (LP), Pediococcus pentosaceus (PP) served as either homofermentation (e.g., lactate only) heterofermentation and acetate)...

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...

Sustainable phosphorus (P) use to meet the global food demand is a major challenge for agriculture. A number of soil microorganisms may influence plants’ ability utilize different chemical forms in rhizosphere. Inoculating phosphate-solubilizing together with rock phosphates (RP) has intrigued researchers over century. However, microbe-mediated mobilization mechanisms RP remain seldomly compreh...

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...

Abstract The potassium solubilizing biofertilizer based on selected bacteria (KSB) can facilitate availability of in primary silicate minerals containing to be absorbed by the plants. key successful application showing positive effects inoculated plants is selection a carrier material that guarantee viability inoculants during shelf life before being applied field. purpose this study was determ...

Biological nitrogen fixation by Rhizobium -legume symbioses represents an environmentally friendly and inexpensive alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers in legume crops. Rhizobial inoculants, applied frequently as biofertilizers, play important role sustainable agriculture. However, inoculants often fail compete for nodule occupancy against native rhizobia with inferior nitrogen-fixing...
