Phosphate fertilization is a common practice in agriculture worldwide, and several commercial products are widely used. Triple superphosphate (TSP) is an excellent soluble phosphorus (P) source. However, its high cost of production makes the long-term use of crude rock phosphate (RP) a more attractive alternative in developing countries, albeit its influence on plant-associated microbiota remai...

Background: Applications of bioinoculants for improving crop productivity may be an eco-friendly alternative to chemical fertilizers. Rhizosphere or soil-inhabiting beneficial microbes can enhance plant growth and through direct indirect mechanisms, i.e. , phosphate solubilization, nutrient acquisition, phytohormone production, etc. Objective: This study is based on the hypothesis that diseases...

The search for plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) addresses the ongoing need new bioinoculants to be used on various agricultural crop species, including sugarcane. Bacterial strains were isolated from rhizosphere of sugarcane plants and identified by sequencing 16S ribosomal gene. main indole acetic acid producers Enterobacter sp. IP11, IP14, E. asburiae IP24. Achromobacter spanius I...

The community of microbes in the rhizosphere region is diverse and contributes significantly to plant growth crop production. Being an important staple economic crop, maize microbiota has been studied past using culture-dependent techniques. However, these limited culturing methods often do not help understanding complex rhizosphere. Moreover, vital biogeochemical processes carried out by organ...

Background: Composting is the process of breaking down organic matter using living organisms which can be used as manure for soil conditioning. Vermicomposting rapid decomposition biowastes earthworm species will enhance growth and yield plants. Methods: The vermicomposting vegetable fruit wastes was carried out during summer season (May-July) by vermicompost a pot culture experiment conducted ...

The development of an environmentally friendly agricultural system as opposed to conventional methods using chemical fertilizers and pesticides for improved crop productivity is a promising aspect modern biotechnology. Current research has focused on free-living microbes that can colonize the plant endosphere means enhancing productivity. In rhizosphere, complex root matrix facilitates microbe-...

Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) have been shown to augment plant responses against drought and other abiotic stresses. In the present study, we isolated 27 bacteria from rhizosphere of various plants cultivated in Kumaon Himalayas., measure their stress tolerance, these isolates were subjected variations pH, temperature, drought. All also screened for traits. Among these, four RR1, ...

Organic agriculture systems have the nutrients supplied by plant or animal by-products, bioinoculants, and compost-based products as earthworm composts green manures. However, quantitative qualitative parameters of soil amendments depend on their sources, are generally not sufficient to supply nutritional requirements maize crops. Moreover, specialty requires high levels N. Thus, aim this study...
