This study examined the effects of bacterial inoculants on chemical composition and fermentation indices of barley silage. Barley forage (Youngyang) was harvested at 24% dry matter (DM) and wilted to 47.9% DM. The wilted barley forage was chopped to 3-5 cm length and applied with no inoculant (CON), L. plantarum (1×10(10) cfu/g, LP) or Effective Microorganisms (0.5×10(9) cfu/g, EM). Then the fo...

salinity is one of the most important abiotic stresses that limit crop growth and productivity. this study focuses on the effects of different strains of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on the physiological responses of two wheat cultivars under normal and salt stress conditions. the wheat cultivars selected include one which is tolerant to salinity (kavir) and one which is sensitiv...

Mineral oil, peanut oil and soybean oil were compared with water and gum arabic for their suitability as adhesives for seed inoculation with peat inoculants. Inoculated seeds were stored at 4, 28 and 34°C, and sampled after 1, 3 and 9 days to determine the survival of rhizobia. Germination and nodulation tests were performed on the inoculated seeds. Results showed that oils were suitable adhesi...

In a soil conditions like limestone mined spoils which has low soil nutrients level with poor nutrient cycling capacity; application of selected microbes as inoculants may be helpful in the establishment of plants in nutrient poor mined spoils. Pongamia pinnata grown on limestone mined over burden dump were supplemented with different microbial and inorganic fertilizer. Plants inoculated with m...

BACKGROUND Trichoderma sp. SL2 has been previously reported to enhance rice germination, vigour, growth and physiological characteristics. The use of Potato Dextrose Agar as carrier of Trichoderma sp. SL2 inoculant is not practical for field application due to its short shelf life and high cost. This study focuses on the use of corn and sugarcane bagasse as potential carriers for Trichoderma sp...

Inoculants or biofertilizers aiming to partially fully replace chemical fertilizers are becoming increasingly important in agriculture, as there is a global perception of the need increase sustainability. In this review, we discuss some results inoculation variety crops with rhizobia and other plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB). Important improvements quality inoculants on release new strai...

background heat, chemical and organic pollution are three types of environmental pollution, caused by refinery and petrochemical industries. problems caused by hear and chemical pollutants are currently resolved to some extent but organic pollution such as poly aromatic hydrocarbons (pahs) are still considered as important problems of industry and environment. objectives a laboratory study was ...

This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of inoculation of homo-fermentative lactic acid bacteria(LAB) on ensiling characteristics and nutritive value of low dry matter corn silage (LDMCS). Corn foragewas harvested at milk stage (22.8 ± 0.9% DM), chopped at theoretical length of cut (TLC) 2.5 cm, and stored in eighteen 3.8 L mini silos for each treatment. The following treatments were u...

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a group of carbon andenergy storage compounds that are accumulated during suboptimal growth by many bacteria, and intracellularly deposited in the form of inclusion bodies. Accumulation of PHAs is thought to be used by bacteria to increase survival and stress tolerance in changing environments, and in competitive settings where carbon and energy sources may be l...
