Plant Growth Promoting Bacteria-Fungi as Growth Promoter in Wheat Production

Abstract

Contribution/ Originality: The paper's primary contribution is finding that bio-fertilizers can be used to minimize the use of chemical fertilizers in wheat production and yet achieving satisfactory yields. Small-scale farmers can produce wheat cheaper and at the same time getting high yields.

The Effects of Different Substrate Combinations on Growth and Yield of Oyster Mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)

“…For that reason, Sub-Saharan Africa needs to intensify agricultural production to feed its growing population adequately for food security and food safety in a stainable manner [1]. On that note, about 70% of Zimbabwe's population is dependent on agricultural outputs [2] and the region is facing some serious challenges of food security due to droughts and the repeated use of agricultural land over several years has created a remarkable reduction in soil fertility [3,4] resulting in poor harvests. erefore, Sub-Saharan African nations need to combat the food security situation with a scientific, economic, and technologically based approach [5].…”

Effect of Trichoderma-Based Biofertilizers on the Flower and Fruit Pattern of Horned Melon (Cucumis metuliferus E. Mey. ex Naudin)

“…Among these limiting factors, lack of agronomic information is one of the many reasons given for the failure of indigenous vegetables to move from subsistence crops with limited use to more researched, available, commercially competitive crops. Several studies [1,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17] demonstrated the potential to improve yields by the use of nonsynthetic fertilizers in our cropping systems. It is therefore hypothesized in this research that Trichodermabased biofertilizers can influence the growth of horned melon.…”
