“…A combined application of inorganic phosphate fertiliser (P 2 O 5 ) at 0, 75, or 150 kg ha -1 and EM-Naturally Active at 50 l ha -1 enhanced vegetative and reproductive growth in cabbage (Zahoor et al, 2003). Chantal et al (2010) showed increased leaf areas and improved photosynthesis in cabbage treated with a 1:1,000 dilution of EM. Sangakkara (2012) stated that EM had no significant effect on the growth of bush bean in chemically-fertilised plots.…”

“…Chantal et al (2010) found that EM increased cabbage yields by improving photosynthesis. Yadav (2012) concluded that, when EM was applied as a foliar spray at an appropriate concentration and frequency, crop yields were increased significantly.…”

“…EM are microbial inoculants that function as biological control agents to suppress and/or control pests through the introduction of beneficial microorganisms into the plant-soil environment. Pests and pathogens are suppressed or controlled by the competitive and/or antagonistic activities of those microorganisms present in the EM inoculant (Anon, 1995).…”

“…This can be an indirect beneficial of microorganisms on production of some phytohormones, and enhance of growth, development and further plant response efficiency to stress factors. The stomatal conductance increase due to EM application was also reported by Chantal et al (2010), while transpiration rate differed much more between various EM application and Ci did not differ. The last one was also noted in our investigations.…”

Geranium plants were cultivated in a growth chamber with different light quality and microorganism inoculation conditions. The long-term effect of irradiance quality (LED and fluorescent) as well as two types of microorganism treatments on photosynthetic activity parameters was examined. The maximum reached values of net photosynthesis rate (P N ), stomatal conductance (g s ), transpiration rate (E) and intercellular CO 2 concentration (C i ) were afterwards measured in plants cultivated under six colours of light -white, white-blue, blue, red, red-blue and green -emitted by two types of lamp: LED and fluorescent. Two types of microorganism treatments were used: BAF 1 created in the Department of General and Environmental Microbiology and the commonly used Effective Microorganisms (EM) biopreparation. A highest level of P N were found in plants after cultivation under white-blue light (both -fluorescent and LED) and treated by BAF 1 . The positive effect of EM was only noted in the case of plants cultivated under blue-red fluorescent light. Considering plants without microbial inoculation the highest levels were recorded in plants under red and blue light. The comparison of the effect of light quality revealed that in all colours a higher or similar level of net photosynthetic rate was noted in plants under LEDs. Mostly the higher photosynthetic activity was connected with higher stomatal opening as well as with higher transpiration rate, which is especially true for plants cultivated under red and blue LED light.

“…Unfortunately, excessive use of chemical fertilizer has caused many problems as soil degradation leading to the reduction of tomato yield and quality. To reverse these trends, EM technology has been adopted as an alternative solution 4 . In Sudan, the available published data showed that EM and farm yard manure had not yet been used for boosting up tomato yield.…”

Objective: This study was conducted to investigate the effect of effective microorganisms (EM), farm yard manure and nitrogen on yield and quality of tomato. Methodology: A factorial experiment was carried out at the Research Farm of Gezira (Medani), Shendi and Hudieba in 2009/10. The factors studied were N (0 and 2N as urea), farm yard manure (0 and 10 t/ha) and EM (-or +). The treatments were arranged in RCBD with four replicates. The data collected involved tomato marketable yield and quality in term of fruit firmness and total soluble solids. Results: The results revealed that 2N application significantly increased the yield at Medani and Hudieb but not at Shendi. EM improved the yield of the control and manure by 12-31 and 7-18%, respectively, but these increments were not significant. The highest yield of tomato was recorded at Medani and Hudieba in manure integrated with 2N. However, the yield obtained by the use of manure alone was not significantly different from that of manure with 2N but significantly the highest among the other combinations at Shendi. Each of N and manure significantly improved the firmness of tomato at Medani. Hence, manure applied separately or integrated with 2N could be used for the organic production of tomato and yield maximization, respectively, at Medani and Hudieba. Separate use of manure was suggested for both yield maximization and organic tomato production at Shendi. Conclusion: It could be concluded that the integrated use of manure and nitrogen fertilizer significantly resulted in the highest tomato yield when the total soil N is low as in Medani and Hudieba. Application of manure alone showed comparable yield to that of combined manure and 2N but significantly higher than that of 2N when the total soil N is high as in Shendi.
