Microbial Inoculants for Sustainable Legume Production

2010
The role of legumes in improving soil fertility is well known and hence is being introduced to newer areas to enrich the soil with plant nutrients, especially nitrogen. Since legumes are an important source of dietary protein, their production is linked to food security. Furthermore, identification of insecticidal components in legume extract and fiber

Enhancing the potential of microbial inoculants through molecular microbial ecology [PDF]

, 1997
The current interest associated with the use of microbial inoculants is in part a response to concerns associated with the use of synthetic chemical pesticides and fertilisers in current conventional agricultural practices. Due to increasing concerns with regard to the safety of synthetic chemical pesticides, restrictions have been placed on the use of

Microbial inoculation for improving the growth and health of micropropagated strawberry

Applied Soil Ecology, 2004
Multimicrobial inoculation has been proposed as a way of protecting plants against environmental stress and increasing the sustainability of plant production. To study these possibilities in a micropropagation system, microplants of strawberry, Fragaria × ananssa, were inoculated or left uninoculated with five microorganisms ( Glomus mosseae BEG29 ...

Evaluating lignite as a microbial inoculant carrier

2017
Victoria holds a large proportion of the world's lignite resource, being generally easy to access at low cost. Interest in the use of lignite as an organic amendment is increasing because it is a rich source of humic acids and can reduce the bioavailability of heavy metals.

Mass Production and Quality Control of Microbial Inoculants

Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, 2014
Since the commercialization of inoculants in India during late seventies, microbial inoculants popularly known as biofertilizers have come a long way. The journey that started with Rhizobium has now been diversified and various types of microorganisms have joined the race and are not only being exploited for nutrient mobilization or plant growth ...

Preservation of Alfalfa Hay by Microbial Inoculation at Baling

Journal of Production Agriculture, 1990
(...) This study investigates the potential of microbial inoculants in preserving the appearance and chemical quality of hay during storage. Alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) hay grown by 17 cooperating producers in Canada and the USA during 1987 was treated with either normal hay microflora [Bacillus pumilus (Bergeys)] or a silage inoculant: a mixture of [(

Microbial Inoculant: Modern Era of Fertilizers and Pesticides

2016
In past few decades of agriculture history, chemical fertilizers and pesticides contributed significantly to boost agro-production even in few years of introduction. Their special attributes such as quick and nonspecific action and less expensive, low-cost production and storage make them more acceptable widely. However, their lethal effects on plants,

Impact of Rhizobial Inoculants on Rhizospheric Microbial Communities

2017
As bioinoculants are considered to be free from adverse effects on environment, the knowledge of their survival in field and their effect on resident microflora is of great interest. Plant symbionts belonging to the order Rhizobiales fix atmospheric nitrogen and hence hold economic importance by providing an eco-friendly alternative to chemical ...
