Soil inoculation with nitrogen‐fixing bacteria to supplement maize fertilizer need

Agronomy Journal, Volume 117, Issue 1, January/February 2025.
Abstract Nitrogen (N) is an essential plant nutrient, but low and variable plant‐available N levels in agricultural soils often limit maximum grain production. The objective of this study was to determine if a free‐living nitrogen‐fixing bacterial inoculant (NFI) could supply biologically‐fixed N as an additional N source and if this enhances maize ...

Impacts of Azotobacter Inoculation on Hybrid Maize Growth and Yield in Midhill of Lamjung, Nepal

International Journal of Agronomy, Volume 2025, Issue 1, 2025.
In recent times, the need for the replacement of chemical‐based nitrogen fertilizers has arisen due to various economic, soil sustainability, and availability issues. Thus, the use of biological nitrogen fixation microbes as biofertilizers has gained prominence. A field experiment was conducted in Lamjung campus to assess the efficacy of Azotobacter as

Bacterial biostimulants for climate smart agriculture practices: Mode of action, effect on plant growth and roadmap for commercial products

Journal of Sustainable Agriculture and Environment, Volume 3, Issue 1, March 2024.
Abstract Amidst the global food shortage and the global climate change challenge, there is an urgent need to double food production by 2050. However, the modern crop production methods, including the use of fertilizers and pesticides, have adverse environmental consequences, exacerbating the climate crisis.
