In this study, aimed to investigate the effect of bacterial fertilizer: A (Bacillus spp., Trichoderma spp. ), B (Azorhizobium, Azotobacter and Azospirillum) and C (Azotobacter spp., Bacillus spp. and Pseudomonas putida) on soil carbon mineralization. On the application of A, B and C bacterial fertilizers on the sterilized control soil, whose initial carbon mineralization rates is 1.1%, mineralization rates of 5.12%, 3.54%, and 10.78% were respectively recorded. According to these results, it was observed that the application of bacterial fertilizer increased the carbon mineralization rate of the sterilized control soil by 365.45%, 221.82% and 880%, respectively. A carbon mineralization rate of 7.03%, 6.15% and 12.95% was recorded in the non-sterilized soil sample whose initial carbon mineralization rate is 5.1%, thereby increasing the mineralization rate by 25.31%, 9.63% and 130.84%. The application of the bacterial fertilizer to the soil was found to increase the soil carbon mineralization rate. It is recommended to incorporate bacterial fertilizers with CO2- sequestering materials, such as biochar, to mitigate the fluctuations in the natural balance due to carbon release.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
