Background: Basil (Ocimum basilicum L.), a member of the Lamiaceae family, has traditionally been used as a medicinal plant in the treatment of headaches, coughs, diarrhea, constipation, warts, worms, and kidney malfunctions. Objective: To investigate the foliar application effects of bio-stimulators and bio-fertilizers on morphological and phytochemical traits of basil (Ocimum basilicum L.). ...

The study aim was to evaluate the potential nitrogen fixation and denitrification in rhizosphere soil of potato plants, crop yield output quality response different fertilization systems inoculation with Azospirillum brasilense 410. Field stationary experiment conducted between 2016 2019 a rotation system on leached chernozem soil. Farmyard manure, 40 t/ha, applied prior potatoes planting promo...

ABSTRACT For decades, researchers around the world search for strategies aiming at higher sustainability in agriculture. The microbial inoculants or biofertilizers are biotechnological products used different purposes, main one being to totally partially replace chemical fertilizers, with an emphasis on N-fertilizers, reducing costs of production and decreasing contamination soil, water, atmosp...

The application of PGPB to agriculture is increasing as it offers an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other supplements. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s principal cereal crops, grown for grain, silage and biofuel. Nitrogen fertilizer constitutes one of the major costs in maize production, and PGPB poses a potential alternative for achieving more sustainab...

Corn was inoculated with Lactobacillus plantarum and Propionibacterium freudenreichii subsp. shermanii either independently or as a mixture at ensiling, in order to determine the effect of bacterial additives on corn silage quality. Grain corn was harvested at 32-37% of dry matter and ensiled in a 4 L laboratory silo. Forage was treated as follows: bacterial types: B0 (without bacteria-control)...

Abstract Maize ( Zea mays L.) is a major cereal crop worldwide and demands N fertilizers, which can be replaced partially by plant growth‐promoting bacteria. In Brazil, inoculants carrying Azospirillum brasilense strains Ab‐V5 Ab‐V6 have exponentially grown, but quantitative study on the replacement of fertilizer still missing. Under greenhouse conditions, we investigated effects A. cells metab...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are multipurpose entities in case of crop quality and yield improvement. This study evaluated the impact PGPR inoculation root zone nutrient release, rice yield, grain (P, Fe, Mn, Zn) content two popular varieties Bangladesh (viz., BRRI dhan49 Binadhan7). It was a single factor (bacterial treatment) experiment where B0, B1, B2, B3 treatments represent...

This chapter provides information on some recent developments of fertilizer production and use that improve nutrient efficiency and minimize environmental impact. The nutrients discussed are mainly N, P, and S. Improving N nutrient efficiency includes use of (1) controlled-release coated urea products, (2) slowrelease urea–aldehyde polymer products, (3) urea supergranules for deep placement, (4...
