The demand for sustainable agricultural production systems is increasing, and using growth-promoting microorganisms in plants has stood out because it decreases or even replaces chemical fertilizer use, reducing costs. This study aimed to evaluate the response of some applied seedlings primary orchids cultivated Brazil (Phalaenopsis sp. 'Taisuco Swan', Cymbidium atropurpureum, Dendrobium secund...

Unraveling the influence of microbes on C content at aggregate scale is pivotal for promoting soil accumulation. Previous studies were based mainly mutual transformation process between aggregates, links microorganisms in initial aggregates and inner sizes still unclear. In this study, classified (> 5 mm, 2–5 1–2 0.25–1 < 0.25 mm) individually incubated 10 months under 13C-labeled maize straw a...

Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPRs) are used as inoculants for biofertilization, phytostimulation and biocontrol. The interactions of PGPRs with their biotic environment, for example with plants and microorganisms, are often complex. Substantial advances in elucidating the genetic basis of the beneficial effects of PGPRs on plants have been made, some from whole-genome sequencing proje...

The production of beneficial microorganisms is the first step to obtain a commercial-based product for application in agriculture. In this study, prickly pear (Opuntia ficus-indica) pruning waste was evaluated as raw material large amounts Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPMs) reducing number generated wastes. Specifically, five PGPMs constituting synthetic microbial consortium with com...

Production of cherry tomatoes in Indonesia is still low, which might be due to the inappropriate planting and maintenance processes. This research applied biological agent microorganisms Streptomyces sp. Trichoderma as Plant Growth Promoting Microorganisms (PGPM) sustainable agricultural systems. study aimed determine effect concentration on growth production tomato plants polybag scale. The wa...

Microorganisms with the ability to release nutrients to the soil from insoluble sources may be useful for plant cultivation. We evaluated the growth-promoting effect on Jatropha curcas L. of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) and the native microbiota in soil with or without rock dust. J. curcas L. is important for biodiesel production. The experiments were performed in a greenhouse under a ...

Soil is an excellent niche of growth of many microorganisms: protozoa, fungi, viruses, and bacteria. Some microorganisms are able to colonize soil surrounding plant roots, the rhizosphere, making them come under the influence of plant roots (Hiltner 1904; Kennedy 2005). These bacteria are named rhizobacteria. Rhizobacteria are rhizosphere competent bacteria able to multiply and colonize plant r...

A combination of microalgae (Chlorella vulgaris or C. sorokiniana) and a microalgae growth-promoting bacterium (MGPB, Azospirillum brasilense strain Cd), co-immobilized in small alginate beads, was developed to remove nutrients (P and N) from municipal wastewater. This paper describes the most recent technical details necessary for successful co-immobilization of the two microorganisms, and the...

ing in the rhizosphere for decades, in the form of plant growth-promoting microorganisms. Efforts to incorporate microbial management into mainstream practices have not been successful. In fact, the same practices that increased yields in the last 50 years (namely fertilizers, herbicides, and pesticides) have largely eradicated natural rhizosphere microbes in agrosystems (Matson et al. 1997) an...
