Growth-promoting bacteria are already used in sustainable agricultural systems Brazil. The market is dominated by inoculants and biological pesticides, which do not reach the full potential of this tool sector. This study aimed to evaluate four bacterial strains for presence growth promotion mechanisms, as well reduction Asian rust severity soybean plants its effects on three antioxidant enzyme...

Nutrition-sensitive agriculture is a novel concept in the agri-food system, which considers implementation of techniques able to guarantee nutritional value produce, sustainability production and, at same time, reduce ecological impact agricultural practices. These principles can be also introduced fresh-cut market with aim maintaining produce quality during shelf life. In this context, use bio...

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...

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...

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...

The objective of this experiment was to evaluate the effects wilting and different homofermentative microbial inoculants on fermentation profile, nutrient composition, aerobic stability Bermuda grass silage at storage lengths. conducted as a completely randomized design with 2 × 4 factorial arrangement treatments. Two levels four were evaluated both 30 90 d storage. Tifton 85 forage collected i...
