improving crop yield and nutrient use efficiency via biofertilization a global meta analysis
Frontiers in Plant Science, 2018Co-Authors: Lukas Schutz, Andreas Gattinger, Matthias Meier, Adrian Muller, Natarajan Mathimaran, Thomas Boller, Paul MaderAbstract:The application of microbial inoculants (Biofertilizers) is a promising technology for future sustainable farming systems in view of rapidly decreasing phosphate stocks and the need to more efficiently use available nitrogen (N). Various microbial taxa are currently used as Biofertilizers, based on their capacity to access nutrients from fertilizers and soil stocks, to fix atmospheric nitrogen, to improve water uptake or to act as biocontrol agents. Despite the existence of a considerable knowledge on effects of specific taxa of Biofertilizers, a comprehensive quantitative assessment of the performance of Biofertilizers with different traits such as phosphate solubilization and N fixation applied to various crops at a global scale is missing. We conducted a meta-analysis to quantify benefits of Biofertilizers in terms of yield increase, nitrogen and phosphorus use efficiency, based on 171 peer reviewed publications that met eligibility criteria. Major findings are: i) the superiority of Biofertilizer performance in dry climates over other climatic regions (yield response: dry climate +20.0 ± 1.7%, tropical climate +14.9 ± 1.2%, oceanic climate +10.0 ± 3.7%, continental climate +8.5 ± 2.4 %); ii) meta-regression analyses revealed that yield response due to Biofertilizer application was generally small at low soil P levels; efficacy increased along higher soil P levels in the order arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF), P-solubilizers and N-fixers; iii) meta-regressions showed that the success of inoculation with AMF was greater at low organic matter content and at neutral pH. Our comprehensive analysis provides a basis and guidance for proper choice and application of Biofertilizers.

Comunicata Scientiae, 2019Co-Authors: Lourival Ferreira Cavalcante, Francisco Thiago Coelho Bezerra, Antônio Gustavo De Souto, Marlene Alexandrina Ferreira Bezerra, Geovani Soares De Lima, Hans Raj Gheyi, Jorge F. Da Silva Pereira, Márkilla Zunete Beckmann-cavalcanteAbstract:Bovine manure Biofertilizers can exert physical, chemical, and biological effects on the soil and the phytoprotective, physiological, and productive actions in horticultural crops. The literature review was performed to compile information on the production, uses, and effects of bovine manure Biofertilizers on soil properties and plants. Biofertilizers are produced by organic components, minerals, and inoculants. Among the organic sources, the bovine manure is the most used. The fermentation of the bovine manure in water constitutes the Vairo Biofertilizer, the most employed in Brazilian horticulture. With the chemical enrichment of this preparation came the Supermagro, Agrobio, and Agrobom Biofertilizers. In the soil, it can act in the improvement of soil fertility, physical properties, and in the diversity and abundance of the biota. Also, it can act in control of pests and diseases, leaf composition concerning macro and micronutrients, and in the production and post-harvest quality of horticultural crops. Therefore, this review describes the preparation, chemical composition, and utilization of bovine manure Biofertilizers in both soil and plants, offering perspectives of research on the formulations, application, and effects of these inputs on horticultural species.

Maia, Rafael Oliveira Batista, Reinaldo Ferreira Medeiros, Francisco Roberto De AzevedoAbstract:The salinity is considered one of the main obstacles to agriculture worldwide, constituting one of the limiting factors to the growth and development of the plants. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of salinity of irrigation water in the formation of seedlings two varieties of jackfruits, and with the application of common bovine Biofertilizer and chemically enriched bovine Biofertilizers. In this sense, an experimente was carried in greenhouse conditions, in the period from October 2015 to February 2016, in Areia County, Paraiba State, Brazil. The substrate used was a material collected of the first 10 cm of depth of a Dystrophic Regolitic Entisol. The experimental design was completely randomized in a factorial scheme 5 × 3 × 2, corresponding to levels of irrigation water saline of 0.5; 1.0; 2.0; 3.0 and 4.0 dS m-1, in soil without and with common bovine Biofertilizer and enriched Biofertilizer, tested with two varieties of jackfruit (jack-soft and jack-hard), and with six replicates. The Biofertilizer after dilution in non-saline water (0.5 dS m-1), in proportion of 1:3, where was applied once to 10% of the substrate volume, two days before sowing. The increment of irrigation water salinity inhibited alls variables studied in the jackfruits plants, but with less intensity in the treatments with bovine common Biofertilizer.

micronutrient and sodium foliar contents of yellow passion plants as a function of Biofertilizers
Fruits, 2008Co-Authors: Lourival Ferreira Cavalcante, Italo Herbert Lucena Cavalcante, Geilson Dias Dos SantosAbstract:Introduction. Mineral status related to micronutrients and sodium is important to obtain high yields, despite the fact that no standardized contents have been established for yel- low passion fruit. Biofertilizers have emerged as an important component of the integrated nutrient supply system aiming at an environmentally better nutrient supply because they have a direct action on micronutrient uptake. In this context, the objective of our research was to eva- luate the micronutrient and sodium foliar contents of yellow passion fruit plants fertilized with two different Biofertilizers in Brazil. Materials and methods. A randomized block design with treatments distributed in a factorial arrangement (2 × 5) referring to two Biofertilizers (simple and enriched with Zn, Mg, Mn, Cu, Co, Fe, Ca, B and Mo) and five doses of each Biofertilizer ((0.0, 0.6, 1.2, 1.8 and 2.4) L·plant -1 ) was adopted. Results of boron, copper, iron, manganese, zinc and sodium foliar contents were submitted to variance analysis, the Tukey test and regres- sion analysis. Results and discussion. The results indicate that enriched Biofertilizer promoted the statistically highest foliar contents of all elements. The Biofertilizer doses applied had dif- ferent effects on foliar contents of the elements studied. Conclusion. Micronutrient and sodium foliar contents of yellow passion fruit were affected by both the type and doses of Biofertilizers. Simple Biofertilizer promoted optimum supplies of boron and iron, while enriched Biofertilizer supplied boron, iron, manganese and zinc.

PENGARUH WAKTU APLIKASI PUPUK HAYATI VP3 DIBANDINGKAN DENGAN EM4 DAN PUPUK NPK TERHADAP PRODUKSI DAN KUALITAS TANAMAN BAYAM MERAH (Amaranthus tricolor L.)
AGRONISMA, 2020Co-Authors: Yuliana YulianaAbstract:Biofertilizer is a substance that contains living microorganisms that can increase growth and crop production, while also increasing soil fertility. The VP3 Biofertilizer used contains three types of soil bacteria, namely free N inhibiting bacteria, phosphate solvent bacteria, and exopolysaccharide-producing bacteria (EPS). The design used in this study was a randomized block design (RBD) consisting of 7 preparations for 3 replications. The treatment of VP3 Biofertilizers with compost provides the best production results compared with the help applied NPK fertilizer 100%, but not significantly different from the application of VP3 Biofertilizers with compost combined with EM4 fertilizer. VP3 biological fertilizer treatment with compost alone without a combination of NPK fertilizer is more economical for farmers

Pengaruh Aplikasi Pupuk Hayati VP3 bersama Kompos Dibandingkan Dengan Pupuk NPK Terhadap Produksi Tanaman Kacang Hijau (Vigna radiata L.) dan Viabilitas Bakteri Tanah
'Universitas Islam Malang', 2020Co-Authors: Hidayah, Wiwit Nur, Murwani Indiyah, Arfarita NoviAbstract:Biofertilizer is a living microorganism that is useful for increasing soil fertility and the quality of production of a plant. Biofertilizer VP3 which has been formulated and developed in previous studies contains 3 soil bacteria, namely N free fixing bacteria, phosphate and bacterial solvents EPS producing bacteria (exopolysaccharide). VP3 biological fertilizer that is applied with compost can be used to degrade compost into humus (fine particles / colloids) which plays an important role for microorganisms, soil and plants with applications for a certain period. The design used was a randomized block design (RBD) with 8 treatments 3 replications. Provision of Biofertilizers and NPK fertilizers affect the viability of soil bacteria. The treatment of VP3 Biofertilizer with compost and combined with NPK fertilizer 25%, 50% and 75% had yields (number of pods and weight of dry seeds) green beans which were not significantly different or not significant, while biological fertilizer treatment with compost with NPK combination 25 % has the yield of green beans which is not significantly different from the treatment of Biofertilizers and compost only. The treatment of VP3 Biofertilizer with compost alone without a combination of NPK fertilizer is more economical for farmers.
