The biofertilization of crops with plant-growth-promoting microorganisms is currently considered as a healthy alternative to chemical fertilization. However, only microorganisms safe for humans can be used as biofertilizers, particularly in vegetables that are raw consumed, in order to avoid sanitary problems derived from the presence of pathogenic bacteria in the final products. In the present...

Most of the methods adopted for processing of decayed fruits and degradation of wastes are not economical. In order to achieve 100% resource recovery from wastes, a novel type of waste treatment is to be followed, so that, the recovered byproducts could be used as biofertilizers. The objective of this study is identification of bacteria for studying their phenotypic and genotypic characters usi...

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...

A pot experiment was laid out at Sri Karan Narendra College of Agriculture, Jobner in 2015 during kharif season using cowpea as a test crop to study the influence soil salinity, phosphorus sources and biofertilizers on yield total nutrient uptake by (Vigna unguiculata L.). The tested completely randomized design which three levels each salinity (EC 1.22, 4.0 6.0 dS/m), (single super phosphate, ...

Abstract Coffee is a plantation crop that has high economic value. One of the obstacles in cultivation coffee plants attack plant parasitic nematodes, including Pratylenchus coffeae, Radopholus similis , and Meloidogyne spp. The reported nematode control technologies are implementation organic fertilizers, botanical pesticides, biological agents. This study aimed to determine effect fertilizer,...

The present experiment was carried out during kharif 2017-18 with the objective to know effect of biofertilizers on growth and yield parameters brinjal cv. Azad B-3. conducted in Randomized Block Design (RBD) ten treatments each replicated thrice. consisted both biofertilizers, chemical fertilizers different combinations along control. observations were recorded like plant height, no. primary b...

Plant-associated microbiomes have tremendous potential to improve plant resilience and yields in farming systems. There is increasing evidence that biological technologies that use microbes or their metabolites can enhance nutrient uptake and yield, control pests and mitigate plant stress responses. However, to fully realize the potential of microbial technology, their efficacy and consistency ...

The influence of soil pH was evaluated on the abundance and generic diversity of cyanobacteria in soil samples collected from diverse rice soil ecologies of India. Qualitative and quantitative studies of the 52 soil samples collected from nine agroecologies was carried out using enrichment, MPN (Most Probable Number) techniques and diversity indices were measured. A total of 166 forms, includin...
