“…As for the sweetness, expressed by the relation between soluble solids and titratable acidity, it was increased in the fruits of V. labrusca , P. edulis (Aguiar et al, 2017). The content of vitamin C with the use of biofertilizer was also raised in P. guajava (Santana et al, 2017) and P. edulis (Aguiar et al, 2017).…”

“…There is information in the literature that justifies the employment of biofertilization of the fermented bovine manure in horticultural crops (Table 7). In fruit crops, the application of biofertilizers supplanted in 43, 88, 96, and 122% the yield of P. guajava (Santana et al, 2017), F. carica (Silva et al, 2016a), C. papaya (Mesquita et al, 2007), and P. edulis (Aguiar et al, 2017), respectively. In vegetable crops, increments of 21, 23, 31, 72, 95, and 344% were noted in the crops of Abelmos chusesculentus , Allium cepa (Nobile et al, 2013) Ipomoea batatas (Oliveira et al, 2007), C.…”

“…In this context, studies show responses of the biofertilizers whose effects are associated with the crop and quality attributes (Table 8). In the physical attributes, it was observed that the biofertilizer increases the firmness of fruits in C. papaya (Mesquita et al, 2007) and P. guajava (Santana et al, 2017), and the pulp yield in P. edulis (Rocha et al, 2013;Aguiar et al, 2017). As for the physicochemical attributes, the biofertilizer raises the pulp pH M. acuminata , C. lanatus (Dutra et al, 2016), P. guajava (Santana et al, 2017) and P. edulis (Aguiar et al, 2017).…”

“…The titratable acidity of the pulp in C. papaya (Mesquita et al, 2007), V. labrusca , and P. edulis (Rocha et al, 2013;Aguiar et al, 2017) was raised with the use of biofertilizers, countering the reduction in P. guajava (Santana et al 2017). In the soluble solids, an increase was only observed in the presence of biofertilizer (Table 8).…”

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.

“…The worm humus can be an excellent alternative to increase the commercial substrate in the organic production system, since mineral fertilizers are not permitted (Oliveira et al, 2013a). Already, it is known that the goat manure has better structure than other types, allowing better aeration, and therefore it ferments quickly and can be availed after a less period of decomposition (Cavalcante et al, 2010), while the cattle manure brings benefit to the plants, because it provides organic nitrogen accumulation in the soil (Oliveira et al, 2014;Santana et al, 2017). In addition, the combined use of organic fertilizer and biofertilizer can be a good alternative for organic fertilization in tomato, because besides providing more quantity may promote more displacement of nutrients to the roots.…”

The correct management of organic fertilization has been shown as an extremely viable alternative in the production of vegetables, providing high yields concomitant to the reduction of synthetic fertilizers. The improvement of the production can be interpreted by the physiological behavior, favored by the organic fertilization with the supply of nutrients. Thus, an experiment was carried out to evaluate the gas exchange and Soil-Plant Analyses Development (SPAD) chlorophyll content in tomato plants according to types of organic fertilizers and biofertilizer doses. The experimental design was completely randomized with treatments distributed in factorial arrangement (3 x 5), referring to organic fertilizer types (T1: earthworm humus; T2: goat manure and T3: cattle manure) and biofertilizer concentrations (600, 800, 1000, 1200 and 1400 ml), with four replications. The gas exchange and the SPAD chlorophyll content in tomato plants depend on the type of organic fertilizer and the concentration of biofertilizer. It was possible to observe that increasing doses of biofertilizer in the substrate with low organic concentration increase the gas exchange in tomato plants, while high doses together with more concentrated organic fertilizers reduce these characteristics.

The objective of this work was to evaluate the influence of fertirrigation with nitrogen and liquid bovine biofertilizer on gas exchange and leaf chlorophyll index of 'paluma' guava (Psidium guajava L.). The experimental design was randomized blocks with treatments distributed in a factorial arrangement (2 × 4) referring to mineral fertilizing with N (50% and 100% of N recommended) and biofertilizer concentrations (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5% of the fertirrigated volume). Variables evaluated were chlorophyll a (Chl a), chlorophyll b (Chl b), total chlorophyll indexes (Chltotal), internal CO2 concentration (Ci), stomatal conductance (gs), transpiration (E), net photosynthesis (A), instant carboxylation efficiency (iCE) and water use efficiency (WUE). The biofertilizer significantly affected Chl a, Chl b, Chltotal, A, gs and E, with quadratic polynomial adjustment of the results. However, there was no effect of N fertilization and interaction between the factors. Maximum index of Chltotal was 32.31 obtained with the estimated dose of 3.8% of the biofertilizer; while A, gs and E presented maximum responses of 19.09 µmol of CO2 m-2 s-1, 0.28 mol of H2O m-2 s-1 and 4.93 mmol of H2O m-2 s-1, with estimated doses of 3.6%, 3.6%, and 3.7%, respectively. Generally, liquid bovine biofertilizer applied via fertirrigation affects positively the photosynthetic responses in 'paluma' guava, however, with decreasing effects for doses above 3.8%.
