“…Similarly, silicon has not found wide applications as biostimulant to plants yet, particularly in encapsulated-cell formulations, although its benefits were widely reviewed (Savvas and Ntatsi, 2015). Trials using hydrophobic silica nanoparticles to the waterin-oil emulsion have shown an improvement in the delivery of the product, as well as an enhancement in shelf life by reduction of desiccation (Kaushik and Djiwanti, 2017). The use of new polymer-forming materials such as poly-lactic acid (PLA) could also open new possibilities to develop encapsulated inocula that would benefit of the physical characteristics of these compounds (Lai et al, 2009).…”

In the last 10-15 years, the wide application of bioformulated plant beneficial microorganisms is accepted as an effective alternative of chemical agro-products. Two main problems can be distinguished in their production and application: (a) economical competiveness based on the overall upstream and downstream operational costs, and (b) development of commercial products with a high soil-plant colonization potential in controlled conditions but not able to effectively mobilize soil nutrients and/or combat plant pathogens in the field. To solve the above problems, microbe-based formulations produced by immobilization methods are gaining attention as they demonstrate a large number of advantages compared to other solid and liquid formulations. This mini-review summarizes the knowledge of additional compounds that form part of the bioformulations. The additives can exert economical, price-decreasing effects as bulking agents or direct effects improving microbial survival during storage and after introduction into soil with simultaneous beneficial effects on soil and plants. In some studies, combinations of additives are used with a complex impact, which improves the overall characteristics of the final products. Special attention is paid to polysaccharide carriers and their derivates, which play stimulatory role on plants but are less studied. The mini-review also focuses on the potential difficulty in evaluating the effects of complex bio-formulations.

“…Excessive use recently of conventional chemical fertilizers has resulted in much serious environmental pollution such as heavy metals accumulation in soil, plant system and underground water contamination (Abdel Wahab et al, 2017). In addition, overdoses of mineral fertilizers are kind of energy wasting, reduces nutrient use efficiency (Kaushik and Djiwanti 2017). In general, about 50-70 % of the applied conventional chemical fertilizers get lost in the environment causing economic, agronomical, environmental concerns and health threats.…”

“…Despite mineral fertilizers are essential for crop production, excess application of mineral fertilizers has detrimental consequences not only on quality of yield but also on agroecosystems. In addition, overdoses of mineral fertilizers are kind of energy wasting and it reduces nutrient use efficiency (Kaushik and Djiwanti 2017). The mineral N-fertilizers may get lost in due to many environmental processes such as runoff, leaching, emissions and volatilization.…”
