Different Behavior of Enteric Bacteria and Viruses in Clay and Sandy Soils after Biofertilization with Swine Digestate

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Enteric pathogens from biofertilizer can accumulate in the soil, subsequently contaminating water and crops. We evaluated the survival, percolation and leaching of model enteric pathogens in clay and sandy soils after biofertilization with swine ...

Azotobacters as biofertilizer

2019
Azotobacters have been used as biofertilizer since more than a century. Azotobacters fix nitrogen aerobically, elaborate plant hormones, solubilize phosphates and also suppress phytopathogens or reduce their deleterious effect. Application of wild type Azotobacters results in better yield of cereals like corn, wheat, oat, barley, rice, pearl millet and

Biofertilizers in Argentina

2019
The increase in the use of chemical fertilizers in extensive agriculture and the associated environmental consequences encourage the use of biofertilizers, formulations with beneficial viable microorganisms, selected to favor nutrition and/or promote the growth of plants. The biofertilizers marketed in Argentina are strains of rhizobia (Bradyrhizobium,

Endophytes and Their Applications as Biofertilizers

2021
Endophytes are microorganisms residing inside plant tissues. The endophytes are not harmful for the plant health, and besides this, they provide nutrients to plants as well as protect plants from stress conditions and from plant pathogens. The endophytic microbial community includes different genus of bacteria, fungi, algae, actinomycetes, and ...
