“…Comparing the effectiveness of poultry manure and banana waste as inoculant carriers of a consortium of bacteria strains of Azospirillum, Azotobacter, and Psolubilizing bacteria to improve banana plant performance and its soil physical and microbiological properties were measured. Although both inoculants improved plant growth and soil properties, banana waste had a stronger effect (Rivera-Cruz et al 2008).…”

Background Inoculation of plants to enhance yield of crops and performance of other plants is a century old, proven technology for rhizobia and a newer venue for plant growth-promoting bacteria and other plant symbionts. The two main aspects dominating the success of inoculation are the effectiveness of the bacterial isolate and the proper application technology. Scope An assessment of practical aspects of bacterial inoculants for contemporary agriculture and environmental restoration is critically evaluated from the point of view of their current technological status, current applications, and future use. This is done because there are windows of opportunity for new developments in applied research using renewable, non-contaminated natural resources and new venues for research. Special emphasis is given to formulations and polymeric carriers. This review concentrates on practical aspect of inoculation technology dating from 1998 to 2013. Earlier publications are mentioned only for clarification of a specific point. Conclusions This review discusses characteristics of a carrier for inoculants, formulations of inoculants including liquid, organic, inorganic, polymeric, and encapsulated formulations. Technical aspects include inoculation techniques (soil and seed application), mass culture production, bulk sterilization, seed coating, shelf-life, and effect of moisture. Future research venues needed are noted.

“…Biofertilizers are known to improve fixation of nutrients in the rhizosphere, produce growth stimulants for plants, improve soil stability and provide biological control. They also biodegrade substances, recycle nutrients, promote mycorrhiza symbiosis and develop bioremediation processes in soils contaminated with toxic, xenobiotic and recalcitrant substances [4]. Biofertilizers containing azotobacter produce many growth regulators such as IAA and GA2 which positively influence plant growth [5].…”

Biofertilization of crops with plant growth promoting microorganisms is currently considered as a healthy alternative to chemical fertilization. Biofertilizers are microbial preparations containing living cells of different microorganisms which have the ability to mobilize plant nutrients in soil from unusable to usable form. They are environmentally friendly, play a significant role in the crop production, help to build up the lost microflora and improve the soil health. Also, they increase crop yield by 20% -30%, stimulate plant growth, are cost effective and provide optimal conditions for soil biological activity. They suppress pathogenic soil organisms, restore natural soil fertility and provide protection against drought and some soil borne diseases. Moreover, they degrade toxic organic chemicals, improve seed germination and aid in balancing soil pH in reducing soil erosion.

“…Associated with irrigation management, organic fertilization is another important factor for cultivation. For example, cattle biofertilizers can provide improvements in the chemical, physical and biological characteristics of the soil (Rivera-Cruz et al, 2008), which can act as an alternative to minimize expenses with synthetic fertilizers, and add greater value to the final product, mainly for small family farmers. There are scarce studies aimed at the use of cattle biofertilizer associated with water supply in the soil as an agricultural alternative for semiarid regions.…”

The experiment was carried out with the goal of evaluating the productive aspects of sunflower cultivar Helium 253, in respon se to the application of cattle biofertilizer and levels of water availability in two types of soils. A completely randomized experimental design was adopted using the factorial 2x2x5 for the 2 types of soils: Entisol and Alfisol, two levels of water availability in the soil (100 and 50% of moisture retention capacity, and five rates of liquid cattle biofertilizer corresponding to 0; 0.75; 1.5; 2.25 and 3 L plant -1 , prepared in the proportion of water 1:3. Sunflower plants were cultivated in pots with 30 L volume, individually filled with each type of soil, with daily water supply made based on humidity readings determined in the pots, using a capacitance multisensor probe type PR2/6 (Time Domain Reflectometry -TDR). To evaluate the sunflower production, the following variables were measured: internal diameter (IDH) and outer diameter of the head (ODH), number of seeds per plant (NSP), weight of 100 seeds (W100S) and oil content in seeds (OCS) and water consumption per plant (WCP). Among the studied soils, Entisol is the one that presents the best conditions for the production of the sunflower cv. Helium 253, being also the soil where the highest water consumption by plant occurs. For Entisol, it is recommended the rate of cattle biofertilizer estimated in 1.05 L plant . Regardless of the soil used, the highest production values are obtained when the soil was maintained with 100% of moisture retention capacity.
