“…Its usefulness has been demonstrated in several agricultural and horticultural crops against pests, diseases, and nematodes under shadehouse and field conditions. Yet, apparently, this formulation suffers from short shelf life, high contamination, and low field performance, but it is still used in experiments (Bharathi et al 2004;Saravanakumar et al 2007aSaravanakumar et al , b, 2009.…”

Background Inoculation of plants to enhance yield of crops and performance of other plants is a century old, proven technology for rhizobia and a newer venue for plant growth-promoting bacteria and other plant symbionts. The two main aspects dominating the success of inoculation are the effectiveness of the bacterial isolate and the proper application technology. Scope An assessment of practical aspects of bacterial inoculants for contemporary agriculture and environmental restoration is critically evaluated from the point of view of their current technological status, current applications, and future use. This is done because there are windows of opportunity for new developments in applied research using renewable, non-contaminated natural resources and new venues for research. Special emphasis is given to formulations and polymeric carriers. This review concentrates on practical aspect of inoculation technology dating from 1998 to 2013. Earlier publications are mentioned only for clarification of a specific point. Conclusions This review discusses characteristics of a carrier for inoculants, formulations of inoculants including liquid, organic, inorganic, polymeric, and encapsulated formulations. Technical aspects include inoculation techniques (soil and seed application), mass culture production, bulk sterilization, seed coating, shelf-life, and effect of moisture. Future research venues needed are noted.

“…The mechanisms of plant growth promotion includes phytohormone production (Egamberdiyeva, 2007;Shaharoona et al 2006), asymbiotic N 2 fixation (Salantur et al 2006), production of siderophores, synthesis of antibiotics, enzymes and/or fungicidal compounds (Bharathi et al 2004 andJeun et al 2004;Ahmad et al 2007) and Article solubilization of mineral nutrients (Cattelan et al 1999). Under salinity stress, PGPR have positive effects on plants specifically on germination rate and seedling growth (Kokelis-Burelle et al 2006).…”

Salinity is one of the most relevant abiotic factor limiting crop yield and its net primary productivity. In addition, salinity induces an increased stress ethylene synthesis in plants which, in turn, exacerbate the responses to the stressor. Bacterial single or co-inoculation effect was tested using previously characterized plant growth promoting (PGP) bacteria Brevibacterium iodinum RS16 and Methylobacterium oryzae CBMB20 on maize and sorghum-sudan grass hybrid under different concentrations of NaCl. Non-inoculated maize and sorghum-sudangrass hybrid showed 33.4% and 20.0% reduction in seed germination under highest NaCl (150 mM) level tested. However, under the same NaCl concentration, co-inoculation with B. iodinum RS16 and M. oryzae CBMB20 PGP strains increased the seed germination in maize (16.7%) and sorghumsudangrass hybrid (4.4%). In Gnotobiotic growth pouch experiments conducted for maize and sorghumsudangrass hybrid, co-inoculation of PGP B. iodinum RS16 and M. oryzae CBMB20 mitigated the salinity stress and promoted root length by 22.9% and 29.7%, respectively. Thus the results of this study could help in development of potential bioinoculants that may be suitable for crop production under saline conditions.

“…A new approach in crop protection to reduce the disease damage level using several PGPR strains and microorganisms are reported in many crops for the control of fungal pathogens [20]. P.fluorescens isolated from rhizosphere soil samples of tomato were employed against an important seed and soil borne pathogen of tomato, F.oxysporum.…”

Abstract-Pseudomonas fluorescens is one of the major fungal biocontrol agents found in the soil and the rhizosphere of various crop systems. Ten isolates of P.fluorescens were isolated from rhizosphere soil samples collected from various tomato-growing fields and evaluated for their efficacy in increasing seed quality variables of tomato and in inhibiting the mycelial growth of Fusarium oxysporum. Pseudomonas isolate 2 produced effective results and was selected and mass multiplied. Talc and sodium alginate formulations of mass multiplied using different agents were prepared and evaluated for their effects against fusarium wilt under greenhouse conditions. Fresh cultures of Pf2 isolate was found to increase seedling emergence and reduce fusarium wilt disease incidence when compared to the control and the formulations.
