Role of Effective Microorganisms (EM) in Sustainable Agriculture

The synergistic action of <i>Azospirillum brasilense</i> and effective microorganisms promotes growth and increases the productivity of green corn

“…This is because mixed inoculations are made up of a range of microorganisms with different functional traits, which can have multiple effects on plant growth and productivity [30]. The synergistic action of microorganisms has been explored in several studies that have evaluated since the synergistic action of mycorrhizal fungi with bacteria that promote plant growth [31], to the joint action of specific microbial strains associated with effective microorganisms [9]. Therefore, the enrichment of the inoculant of A. brasilense with EM potentiated the effect of diazotrophic in promoting plant growth.…”

“…Sharma and Kumawat (2012) [42] demonstrated that the inoculation of EM preparations can culminate in greater BNF in the soybean culture. These mixed cultures of natural organisms can be used as inoculants in a safe manner without risk of environmental impacts [9].…”

“…These techniques use effective microorganisms (EM). EM are consortia of microorganisms that, when used as inoculants, increase the microbial diversity of the soil [9], absorption of P and Zn [10], favors photosynthetic processes [11], assist in the decomposition of organic matter [12], have an antagonistic effect to soil pathogens [13], anticipate seed germination [14], and contribute to increased grain productivity [8,15,16]. These microorganisms are easy to obtain and are mainly recommended for use in family farming.…”

Role of beneficial microbes with nitrogen and phosphorous levels on canola productivity

“…The application of beneficial microbes along with NPK enhanced yields significantly (Joshi et al, 2019). Beneficial microbes appeared to promote early growth and yield in different crops (Backer et al, 2018).…”

Soluções tecnológicas emergentes para uma agricultura sustentável: microrganismos eficientes

“…Nesse contexto, os Microrganismos Eficientes presentes no solo naturalmente são agentes que beneficiam as plantas e o solo melhorando sua qualidade estrutural e a saúde das plantas, podem ser uma ferramenta indispensável para potencializar a ciclagem de nutrientes dentro da propriedade bem como favorecer os processos naturais daquele ecossistema. Porém, de acordo com dados da literatura [9][10][11][12], parece que estes microrganismos, ora apresentam efeitos benéficos ora não apresentam efeitos aparentes. Desta forma, este trabalho objetivou reunir informações a respeito da caracterização, ferramentas utilizadas para a avaliação do potencial tecnológico, bem como as aplicações do Microrganismos Eficientes na agricultura, com ênfase em uma agricultura sustentável, uma vez que estes têm sido utilizados para diversos manejos da agricultura como compostagem, melhoria nutricional de plantas, aumento de rendimento, entre outras utilidades [9,10].…”
