Microbial Inoculants: Silver Bullet or Microbial Jurassic Park?

Trends in Microbiology, 2021
The appeal of using microbial inoculants to mediate plant traits and productivity in managed ecosystems has increased over the past decade, because microbes represent an alternative to fertilizers, pesticides, and direct genetic modification of plants.

Microbial inoculants for the preservation of hay [PDF]

, 2022
The limitation to the production of highly nutritious hay is the extent of drying required to restrict microbial biodeterioration. Management decisions on haymaking, including the best time to harvest and the use of mechanical processes that cause physical losses of the crop, are governed by the need to dry out the crop rapidly.

Microbial Inoculants as Biofertilizer

2016
Increasing application of chemical fertilizers in agriculture make country self dependent in food production but it depreciate environment and cause harmful impacts on living beings. The excess uses of these fertilizers in agriculture are costly and have various adverse effects on soil fertility.

Microbial Inoculants for Sustainable Forests

Journal of Sustainable Forestry, 1997
Abstract Fungal root pathogens are widespread and may cause substantial seedling losses in conifer nurseries. Furthermore, poor seedling survival and growth on reforestation sites results in reduced forest regeneration. Use of microbial inoculants for disease control and plant growth promotion has become an important endeavour.

The Inherent Conflicts in Developing Soil Microbial Inoculants

Trends in Biotechnology, 2019
Potentially beneficial microorganisms have been inoculated into agricultural soils for years. However, concurrent with sequencing advances and successful manipulation of host-associated microbiomes, industry and academia have recently boosted investments into microbial inoculants, convinced they can increase crop yield and reduce fertilizer and ...

Biomarkers for monitoring efficacy of bioremediation by microbial inoculants

Environmental Pollution, 2000
Bioaugmentation of contaminated sites with microbes that are adapted or genetically engineered for degradation of specific toxic compounds is an area that is currently being explored as a clean-up option. Biomarkers have been developed to track the survival and efficacy of specific bacteria that are used as inocula for bioremediation of contaminated ...

Microbial Inoculants as Biofertilizers and Biopesticides

2016
Bioinoculants are ecofriendly as they don’t have any adverse effect on soil fauna and flora. These bioinoculants can also be used as biopesticides which do not have any residual effect on crop products. But the main problem with the bioinoculants is its quality, as the private agencies which supply various biofertilizers and biopesticides don’t care ...

Concepts and applications of foliar spray for microbial inoculants

Applied Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2018
Damages of the (agro)ecosystem by extensive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, the global dying of bee populations possibly linked to pesticide spraying, and stricter regulations for pesticide use together with successful use of microbials in IPM programs are pushing on the development and commercialization of new microbial products and a ...

Microbial invasions and inoculants: a call to action

2023
The use of non-genetically modified microbial inoculants for beneficial purposes in agriculture, bioremediation, medicine, and infrastructure is increasing. The intentional introduction of plants and animals for similar purposes has a long history, but despite successes, has resulted in thousands of plant and animal species becoming invasive, with ...
