“…This may be due to readily available nutrient for plant uptake, which directly affected the growth of tomato plant. Despite the adverse effect of inorganic fertilizer application toward endophytes diversity (Collavino et al, 2020), augmentation in the form of biofertilizer addition were known to increase the endophytic bacterial population in general (Yadav et al, 2021). Inhabiting inside the plant tissues, endophytic bacteria is safeguarded against direct contact to inorganic nutrient in tomatoes growth media.…”

The use of N2-fixing bacteria and growth hormone-producing rhizobacteria delivers nitrogen, enhances nutrients absorption by plants, and reduces the usage of inorganic fertilizers. Implementing biofertilizer in the hydroponic system as a means to reduce application of synthetic nutrient is recently in interest due to economic, food safety, and sustainability factors. This study determines the effects of biofertilizer dose on tomato yields in the hydroponics system. A randomized block design was utilized that consisted of seven treatments, namely 100% inorganic fertilizer and 0% biofertilizer (control), and various doses of inorganic nutrient combined with 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100% biofertilizer. The result illustrated that the application of biofertilizer augmented the population of endophytic bacteria, Azotobacter sp., Azospirillum sp., phosphate solubilizing bacteria, and nitrogen content. The distinct combination of biofertilizer did not alter the phosphorus and potassium content compared to control samples however resulted in superior tomato grade. The 50% inorganic fertilizer and 100% biofertilizer combination amplified the weight of the fruit by 36% compared to the control. This finding indicates that the application of biofertilizers in the hydroponic system for tomato plants is not only beneficial in minimizing the dosage of inorganic fertilizers but also enhancing the fruit quality.

“…In order to meet the rising population demand for everyday supplies (medicine, food, urbanization), indiscriminate use of natural resources has led to significant exploitation of nature (Sharma et al, 2021). Toxic substances such as industrial chemicals, pesticides, steroid hormones, insecticides, cleaning products and their active residues are exponentially used in the processes aimed to attain people's demands (Yadav, Srivastva, & Gupta, 2021).…”

Aim:The aim was to characterize cold-adapted bacteria by testing their PGP features and antagonistic activity against Macrophomina phaseolina, both in vitro and coating soybean seeds (Glycine max [L.] Merr.). Methods and results:Burkholderia gladioli MB39, Serratia proteamaculans 136 and Serratia proteamaculans 137 were evaluated. In vitro tests showed that S. proteamaculans 136 and 137 produce siderophore and indole-acetic acid (IAA), solubilize phosphate and fix nitrogen. Additionally, B. gladioli MB39 and S. proteamaculans 137 showed hydrolase activity and potent antifungal effects. The biocontrol efficacy over soybean seeds was evaluated using in vitro and greenhouse methods by immersing seeds into each bacterial suspension. As a result, S. proteamaculans 136 has improved the performance in all the seed germination evaluated parameters. In addition, S. proteamaculans 137 and B. gladioli MB39 strongly inhibited M. phaseolina, reducing the infection index values to 10% and 0%, respectively. Conclusion: Serratia proteamaculans 136, 137 and Burkholderia gladioli MB39 showed plant growth promotion features and inhibition of Macrophomina phaseolina infection by producing different antifungal compounds.Significance and impact of the study: Our results reinforce the application of cold-adapted Serratia proteamaculans and Burkholderia gladioli bacterial strains as candidates for developing microbial formulation to promote plant growth and guarantee antifungal protection in soybean crops.
