Maize cropping systems need to be re-designed, within a sustainable intensification context, by focusing on the application of high-use efficiency crop practices, such as those that are able enhance an early plant vigor in first critical growth stages; practices could lead significant agronomic and yield benefits. The aim this study has been evaluate effects cultivation hybrids with superior vigor, distribution starter fertilizers at sowing, seed biostimulants promoting grain full factorial...
The sustainable intensification of maize-based systems may reduce greenhouse-gas emissions and the excessive use non-renewable inputs. Considering key role that microbiological fertility has on crop growth resilience, it is worth interest studying cropping system rhizosphere bacterial communities, affect soil health biological fertility. In this work we monitored characterized diversity composition native communities during early phases two maize genotypes different vigor, using a nitrogen...
Nowadays, one of the most important challenges is to ensure sustainable agricultural management crops such as maize (Zea mays L.). Long-term crop production, however, may influence soil properties, composition and activity microbial communities. The aim this study was compare catabolic taxonomic diversity bacterial communities inhabiting a non-fertilized monoculture natural grassland. Samples were taken from horizons A C in first part vegetation period. MicroResp™ technique used explore...
Abstract Background and aims One of the most promising strategies for sustainable intensification crop production involves utilization beneficial root-associated microorganisms, such as plant growth-promoting bacteria arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF). The aim this study was to investigate whether a seed-applied biostimulant, based on bacterial strain Bacillus amyloliquefaciens IT-45 polysaccharide extract, enhancement tools, hybrids with contrasting early vigor nitrogen (N) plus phosphorus...
Abstract Background and aims Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are beneficial soil microorganisms establishing mutualistic symbioses with most crop plants promoting plant growth health. AMF activities complemented by their associated microbiota, leading to synergistic interactions positively affecting performance. In this work we assessed whether may act as drivers of root bacterial endophytes, facilitating colonization host bacteria. Methods Two isolates were used, Funneliformis mosseae...
E tanulmány célja egy martonvásári hosszútávú tartamkísérlet trágyázás nélkül művelt kukorica monokultúra talajában fellelhető baktériumközösségek filogenetikai diverzitásának és anyagcsere potenciáljának a felmérése volt. A kutatás során NGS MicroResp™ technikával vizsgáltuk természeteshez közeli állapotú talajok mikrobiális jellemzőit. Az adatai alapján szántott rétegének mintáinak baktériumközösség szerkezete nagyfokú hasonlóságot mutatott egymással, elkülönült löszpusztagyep C rétegéből...
