Efficacy of root litter as a biofertiliser

Biology and Fertility of Soils, 1994
The efficacy ofLeucaena leucocephala root litter as a natural biological fertiliser was assessed usingZea mays as a test plant. Up to 8% of the fine roots of the plants constituted root litter. This fine root litter was better than that ofTrigonella foenum-graecum at increasing the growth and productivity ofZea mays.

Biofertilisers in action

Australian Journal of Plant Physiology, 2001
This paper originates from an address at the 8th International Symposium on Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes, Sydney, NSW, December 2000 Currently proposed means of entry of bacterial endophytes into roots of field-grown crop plants, as well as niches available for their successful colonization of living tissues, are evaluated from ...

Utilisation of blue-green algae as biofertilisers

Plant and Soil, 1979
Biologically active compounds may be liberated from blue-green algae growing on the surface of moist soils. Such compounds may also be released as exudates from algae grown in liquid culture.

ALGAL BIOFERTILISERS FOR RICE IN JAMAICA

1988
Two species of nitrogen-fixing blue-green algae (cyanobacteria) have been isolated from local freshwater sources and fields. These were Anabaena variabilis and Nostoc sp. Experiments were carried out to propagate these on a large scale under field conditions, suitable for the use of small farmers.

Dead fine roots — a neglected biofertiliser

1993
Efficacy of dead Leucaena roots as a natural biological fertiliser was assessed using Zea mays as a bioassay plant. In the case of Leucaena leucocephala, up to 8% of the fine roots recovered at any time were dead. Decomposed fine roots of Leucaena leucocephala were better than those of Trigonella foenum-graecum in increasing growth and productivity of ...

Influence of Biofertilisers on Mulberry Productivity: A Review

Journal of Basic and Applied Research International
Organic sources of nutrients, particularly when integrated with beneficial microbes, have shown potential to improve soil fertility and crop productivity while reducing dependency on synthetic inputs. Mulberry (Morus spp.) is the exclusive food plant of the domesticated silkworm (Bombyx mori L.) and constitutes the biological and economic foundation of

Production of biofertiliser from soybean cake and soypod

LAUTECH Journal of Engineering and Technology
Soil fertility can be improved by the use of fertiliser, from chemical or biological sources. Excessive use of chemical fertiliser has caused a large number of environmental pollutions in water, air and soil. This research aimed to produce organic fertiliser from soybean cake and pod using Solid State Fermentation (SSF).

Effect of Burkholderia as biofertiliser on cereal productivity

2010
Biofertilisers are rhizosphere microorganisms inoculated to reduce the need for N or P fertiliser application and maximise plant growth and nutrition, resulting in greater grain yield and N or P content. This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of diazotrophic bacteria isolated from the rhizosphere of wheat in Victoria, Australia.

The effects of biofertilisers on soilless organically grown greenhouse tomato

Acta Horticulturae, 2017
In the present study, greenhouse tomato ('Jaledo') was grown with organic nutrition by the inoculation of some biofertilizers under the soilless cultivation rules. The treatments were three different biofertilizers; 1) mychorrhiza, 2) vermicompost, 3) fermentation microorganisms (EM), and 4) control.

Biofertiliser (Mycorrhiza) Technology in Mine Ecorestoration

2012
The coal mine overburden (OB) materials vary widely in their physical, chemical and biological properties than natural soil, which affect the plant establishment, survival and growth. To reclaim these OB dumps biologically, a long-term nutrient cycling between soil and plant has to be established.
