Biofertilizers Improve the Plant Growth, Yield, and Mineral Concentration of Lettuce and Broccoli

Halil Demir,
İlker Sönmez,
Ufuk Uçan
et al.

Abstract: Biofertilizers and organic fertilizers are eco-friendly treatments that reduce the consumption and problems associated with chemical fertilizers. The aim of this research was to investigate the effects of biofertilizers and organic fertilizers on reducing consumption and improving the effectiveness of chemical fertilizer treatments by comparing the growth parameters, yield, quality criteria, and nutrient concentration in lettuce and broccoli grown under greenhouse conditions. The biofertilizer (BM-MegaFlu®) co… Show more

“…The use of Retone biofertilizer resulted in the highest plant heights. This action of the Retone biofertilizer could be justified by the fact that it releases minerals gradually, which could ensure their availability when the plant needs them [17]. Indeed, Retone biofertilizer is made up of compounds of various plant auxins, vitamins, enzymes, algae, amino acids, and humus, thus increasing vegetative plant growth.…”

“…Microorganisms are present near every living thing on the planet since they are ubiquitous in nature. When microorganisms connect with rhizosphere soil as biofertilizers, they colonize it and increase the take-up of plant nutrients (Demir et al, 2023). Nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium are important macro-elements and are restricted nutrients for the expansion and evolution of plants.…”

“…PGPB has different mechanisms of action, such as nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization, phytohormone production, protection against pathogens, and disease suppression. It directly enhances plant growth and development, promoting more robust root systems and increased biomass, which make plants more resilient by improving their tolerance to environmental stresses such as drought, salinity, and temperature extremes [11][12][13][14][15]. In the global market, nitrogen-fixing microorganisms represent 80%, followed by the phosphatesolubilizer (14%) [9,10].…”
