“…The results obtained show that the vermicompost possesses a nutrient content that is within the required limits which are supported by others (Ismail, 1997;Ansari and Sukhraj, 2010;Ansari et al, 2016). Additionally, it should be noted that work done by other researchers would have results that vary in the nutrient content because they would have used different organic matters for the vermicomposting process (Kaur et al, 2015;Zaefarian and Rezvani, 2016).…”

“…Other than possessing macronutrients and micronutrients, vermicompost possesses a high rate of microbial and enzymatic activities (Manyuchi et al, 2013;Zaefarian and Rezvani, 2016). With the microbial activity being high in vermicompost, plant growth hormones such as gibberellins, auxins, humic acids, and cytokinins are produced which enhances plant growth (Joshi & Vig, 2010;Dominguez, 2011;Rajasekar et al, 2012).…”

This study compared the effects of vermicompost and chemical fertilizer on the production and economics of eggplants (Solanum melongena). The study consisted of two phases which were carried out along the East Coast of Berbice. Phase one studied the vermicomposting process and phase two was a field trial of vermicompost on eggplants. The treatments used in the study were the control (T 1 ), vermicompost (T 2 ), and the NPK fertilizer (T 3 ). Vermicompost was applied @ 500 g plant -1 at transplanting, 250 g plant -1 at flowering, and 250 g plant -1 at fruiting. However, the recommended dose of NPK fertilizer was used which was 2.5 g plant -1 at transplanting and then every 21 days. The results showed that there were no significant differences in the plant height, the number of leaves, the diameter of the main stem, and the number of days it took to reach 50% flowering yet there were significant differences in the root (P=0.005) and shoot (P=0.004) length of eggplant after applying vermicompost compared the use of the chemical fertilizer. There were no significant differences in the physicochemical properties (pH, EC, OC, N, P, K) of the soil. There was a significant difference in the economics of eggplant cultivation when using vermicompost compared to the chemical fertilizers. The study indicated that vermicompost can be an excellent soil conditioner with indications of better conditions for plant growth, and it is also cost effective.

“…Beneficial microorganisms like plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can be used as biofertilizer by working as nutrient solubilizers, but also strengtheners, biostimulants, and biopesticides (Mahnert et al, 2018;Wang et al, 2020). Bacteria classified as PGPR present at least one trait that will result in an increase of plant growth, e.g., nitrogen fixation, enhancing resistance to abiotic or biotic stress, or phytohormone production (Hayat et al, 2012;Gopalakrishnan et al, 2015;Lyngwi et al, 2016;Nehra et al, 2016;Zaefarian and Rezvani, 2016). PGPR have been identified in cereals (rice, wheat, barley, and maize) and important agricultural crops (soybean, potato, pepper, sugar cane, coffee, tea, and grapevine) (Numan et al, 2018).…”

Harsh environmental conditions in drylands force plants and their associated microbial communities to adapt to abiotic stresses. In semi-arid environments, climatic conditions and poor agricultural management have a strong impact on plant yield and thus, enhancing soil fertility by means of beneficial microorganisms such as plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) has been proposed as part of sustainable agricultural management. As drylands will increase due to climate change, studying microbial community dynamics of crops under such conditions is crucial as it might favor rhizobacteria adapted to drought. While the microbiome of many native dryland crops has been characterized, the microbial community composition from non-native crops under semi-arid environmental conditions is understudied. Thus, the aim of this study was to characterize the bacterial community associated with the roots of three crops with different growth cycles, cultivated in the same semi-arid environment, to understand their microbial community composition during the season with the highest temperature in northeast Mexico. We performed high throughput sequencing of the V3-V4 region of the 16S rRNA gene from root samples of Pequin pepper, soybean and orange trees. Classified taxa were evaluated according to crop, sampling time and climatological parameters. Our findings revealed that changes in temporal dynamics of microbial communities correlate with environmental temperature. Moreover, the microbial community of pepper was more diverse and differed from that of soybean and orange. Regarding PGPR, 47.6% of the genera were shared among crops with a high relative abundance of Bacillus, but we also detected crop-specific microbial associations where Serratia was specific to orange trees and Rhodobacter to pepper. When analyzing PGPR in correlation to climatological parameters, Bacillus was found to thrive under lower precipitation rates, higher temperatures and higher evaporation rates in pepper and orange. In contrast, some PGPR commonly used in commercial biofertilizers such as Rhizobium and Azospirillum were affected by high temperatures. This study provides a better understanding of the rhizobacterial assemblies of economically relevant crops grown under a semi-arid environment.

Spittlebug (Hemiptera: Cercopidae) species cause large economic losses on gramineous crops (Poaceae) in tropical and subtropical America. These insects are key pests of sugarcane and forages, crops that experienced a quick expansion in extensive monocultures in Brazil, Colombia, and Mexico. Mobilization toward sustainable crop and livestock systems to supply the growing demand of meat, milk, and sugar in Latin America and the Caribbean region implies developing sustainable and feasible strategies of integrated pest management to control spittlebugs. This review combines information on Cercopidae taxonomy, geographical distribution, insect biology, and control strategies to contribute to the development of integrated pest management in grasses and sugarcane in the Neotropics.
