Study of Shelflife of Carrier Biofertilizers from Different Production Centers

Pembuatan Pupuk Padat Dari Hasil Samping Biogas Di Gunungkidul

“…Rhizobium carrier based dan Biofertilizers disarankan digunakan dalam jangka waktu 4 bulan penyimpanan terkait dengan jumlah mikrobia yang masih lebih banyak sehingga kualitas masih cukup baik. Pada carrier based Biofertilizers, kadar airnya tinggi, dan ada penurunan jumlah mikrobia yang lebih banyak (Bhavya et al, 2017). Pada penyimpanan carrier based bio-innoculant pada suhu 4°C dan 28°C selama 8 bulan diperoleh bahwa populasi rhizobium menurun.…”

Development of Liquid Inoculants: An Innovative Agronomic Practice for Sustainable Agriculture

“…Meager adoption among countryman is ascribed mostly to their unpredictable response, low quality in terms of total viable counts at the time of use, short shelf life and temperature sensitiveness (Yadav & Chandra, 2014). The possible scope of contamination is very huge in the case of carrier based bio-inoculants as massive sterilization does not provide the desired outcomes (Bhavya et al, 2017) Liquid inoculants formulations could be a possible solution to the aforementioned tribulations as it contains cell protectants/ additives for promotion of lengthy shelf life and tolerance to unpropitious conditions of the desired microorganisms in addition to their growth nutrients (Hegde, 2008). The contamination can be managed by means of proper sterilization techniques and maintenance of rigorous hygiene conditions by appropriate quality control measures in the case of liquid based biofertilizer (Bhavya et al, 2017).…”

Depending upon the ability to heat transfer, high water activities and rheological properties of different polymers like polyethylene glycol (Temprano et al, 2002), polyvinyl alcohol (Deaker et al, 2004), gum Arabic (Mugnier & Jung, 1985), polyvinyl pyrrolidone (Singleton, 2002) and sodium alginate (Bashan et al, 2004) have been used for inoculants production.…”
