This study discovered that infiltration rate, bulk density, pH and available phosphorous were the most sensitive soil properties for use as MDS indicators for vegetable fields at south western of Nigeria. The study also revealed that both the MDS indicators and SQI value obtained were influenced by biofertilzer-fortified compost application and would serve as vital instrument for evaluating soil fe...
This study discovered indigenous rhizobacteria (A. brasiliense, A. chrocoocum, P. stutzeri and P. putida) from the rhizosphere of vegetable crops in semi-arid agro-zone of Rajasthan desert capable of synthesizing phytohormone. This study will provide baseline information on the phytohormone biosynthesis profile of t he isolates and the phytohormone produced can be transformed into commercial bio-formulations f...
This study provides knowledge on the diversity and drivers of AMF in the ecologically stressed ecosystem of arid and semi-arid regions of Indian desert and reveals promising findings that would provide baseline information for a better understanding of more important roles that AMF plays in enhancing resource allocation and increasing tolerance of tomato plant to the various environmental stresse...
The study justifies potentials of fungalbacterial biofilm bio-fertilizers (FBBs) and organic manure application as sustainable means of improving growth and yield of okra, optimizing economics of production by reducing amount of chemical fertilizer application and minimizing its deleterious effects on environment, soil and human health. Appropriate adoption of these findings by farmers and researchers would go a...
