Bioencapsulation of Microbial Inoculants: Mechanisms, Formulation Types and Application Techniques

The excessive use of agrochemicals in the field to increase production and counteract negative effects caused by biotic abiotic factors has led a deterioration soil fertility, plus an increment impacts on environment human health. Therefore, application beneficial microorganisms as bioinoculants is eco-friendly alternative agrochemicals. Plant growth-promoting bacteria fungi have been effective promoting plant growth production, well reducing action pathogens multiple crops. However, successful such agricultural faced several difficulties, survival, colonization efficiency short periods shelf storage. it essential explore novel ways encapsulate, formulate apply bioinoculants. To obtain expected quality bioencapsulated products, determine type polymer, capsule size, encapsulation technique correct chemical physical cofactors involved process. Thus, this review highlights various formulation types techniques, discussing advantages using microbial encapsulates better results production.
