Growth and Quality Changes of Creeping Bentgrass by Application of Keratin Amino Acid Fertilizer

Effects of Processed Red-clay and Microbial Fertilizer Containing Lactobacillus fermentum on Tomato Growth Characteristics, and Fruit Quality Levels

“…Biofertilization utilizes plant and animal wastes to enrich soil with organic matter and nutrients, employing microorganisms to metabolize these by-products for enhanced absorption by plant roots (Montesdeoca-Flores et al, 2024). Certain types of lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus fermentum, are renowned biofertilizers for enriching agriculture as they can solubilize minerals such as silicates and phosphates (Jo et al, 2017;Kalayu, 2019;Bist et al, 2020). L. fermentum, a gram-positive bacterium of the Lactobacillus genus reportedly enhances and fortifies the immune response and prevents community-acquired gastrointestinal and upper respiratory infections (Naghmouchi et al, 2020).…”

“…L. fermentum, a gram-positive bacterium of the Lactobacillus genus reportedly enhances and fortifies the immune response and prevents community-acquired gastrointestinal and upper respiratory infections (Naghmouchi et al, 2020). Research is ongoing to utilize probiotics in various ways beyond food fermentation, but their use in conjunction with crop cultivation remains very limited (Jo et al, 2017). Prior studies have explored the quality levels of radishes and cabbages cultivated with PRC (Seo et al, 2014b(Seo et al, , 2015 and have reported the quality of eel (Anguilla japonica) after the application of PRC (Seo et al, 2014a).…”
