Many studies indicate the favorable effect of biochar on soil quality and plant fitness. A few interactions with rhizosphere bacteria their impact development nutrient acquisition have been reported. In this study, pot experiments in a glasshouse were performed to figure out interactive beneficial Pseudomonas putida TSAU6 amendment wheat (Triticum aestivum L.) growth, uptake, biological activit...

A large part of the Indo-Gangetic plain has marginal soils, which are depleted of nutrients and sandy with low water-holding capacity. Fertilizers and irrigation are applied to obtain regular yield. However, high usage of fertilizers and inappropriate methods of irrigation lead to a degradation of soil microfl ora and loss of soil fertility in the long term. In close collaboration with other pa...

Bio-inoculants (Biofertilizer) are an agricultural input that helps to keep the environment clean. By definition biofertilizers efficient strains of isolated microorganisms help plants grow in a variety ways, both directly and indirectly. Biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, mobilisation, siderophore generation phytohormone production some direct methods. The majority bio-ino...

Acacia mangium is a legume tree native to Australasia. Since the eighties, it has been introduced into many tropical countries, especially in a context of industrial plantations. Many field trials have been set up to test the effects of controlled inoculation with selected symbiotic bacteria versus natural colonization with indigenous strains. In the introduction areas, A. mangium trees spontan...

The knowledge of the survival of inoculated fungal and bacterial strains in field and the effects of their release on the indigenous microbial communities has been of great interest since the practical use of selected natural or genetically modified microorganisms has been developed. Soil inoculation or seed bacterization may lead to changes in the structure of the indigenous microbial communit...

The development of endophyte inoculants for agricultural crops has been bedevilled by the twin problems of a lack of reliability and consistency, with a consequent lack of belief among end users in the efficacy of such treatments. We have developed a successful research pipeline for the production of a reliable, consistent and environmentally targeted fungal endophyte seed-delivered inoculant f...

Silage quality is typically assessed by the measurement of several individual parameters, including pH, lactic acid, acetic acid, bacterial numbers, and protein content. The objective of this study was to use a holistic metabolic fingerprinting approach, combining a high-throughput microtiter plate-based fermentation system with Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, to obtain a snaps...
