A study was performed to investigate the efficiency of rhizobacteria on solubilization of rock phosphate and their assimilation by wheat plants in quartz sand potted experiments. Two phosphate solubilizing bacteria, P. fluorescens and Serratia sp. were encapsulated in sodium alginate and potato starch beads and selected to investigate the variation on pH values, the enzymatic activity of alkali...

The nutrient elements uptake in many of soils, is a problem because of high pH and plenty of calcium ions in them. Some of these elements are phosphorus and microelements. It is possible to increase absorption of these nutrient elements by addition of sulfur in soil and biological oxidation. The rate of this reaction is very slow and Thiobacillus bacteria are the most important oxidators of sul...

Khorvash, M., Colombatto, D., Beauchemin, K. A., Ghorbani, G. R. and Samei, A. 2006. Use of absorbants and inoculants to enhance the quality of corn silage. Can. J. Anim. Sci. 86: 97–107. This study examined whether inoculants and various absorbent materials could be used during ensiling to reduce effluent losses and improve nutritive value of corn silage. Two corn forages were harvested: conve...

Eighteen Pediococcus strains were screened for their potential as silage inoculants. Pediococcus acidilactici G24 was found to be the most suitable, exhibiting a short lag phase on both glucose and fructose, a rapid rate of acid production, a high sugar-to-lactate conversion efficiency, no detectable breakdown of proteins or lactic acid, and the ability to grow within a broad range of pH and te...

the effects of a microbial inoculant (containing propionic and lactic acid bacteria) and formic acid onchemical composition, ruminal degradability of dry matter (dm) and nutrient digestibility of corn silage wereexamined. whole-plant corn was ensiled for 60 days in plastic polyethylene bags, and three treatments werecompared, 1: control (no additive), 2: propionibacterium acidipropionici plus l...

The objective was to evaluate the inoculation, co-inoculation with bacteria B. japonicum and A. brasilense in combination application of N doses on agronomic characteristics soybean. design used randomized blocks a 4x4 factorial scheme, four types inoculation (absence bacteria, brasilense) (0 % = 0; 2 4.5; 4 9 8 18 kg ha-1), replications. increasing above 2% promoted reduction number nodules fo...
