“…The integrated use of microbes for nutrient and disease management, along with organic manures and inorganic fertilizers, has been suggested as the most effective method to maintain healthy and sustainable soil while increasing crop productivity. Inoculation with these methods increased crop yields by ∼10-15% under farm conditions (Kumar et al, 2021). The application of B. subtilis and P. putida increased the percentage of nitrogen by ∼ 40% compared to the control (Mehrasa et al, 2022).…”

Sustainable agriculture requires the recruitment of bacterial agents to reduce the demand for mineral fertilizers and pesticides such as bacterial endophytes. Bacterial endophytes represent a potential alternative to the widespread use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides in conventional agriculture practices. Endophytes are formed by complex microbial communities and microorganisms that colonize the plant interior for at least part of their life. Their functions range from mutualism to pathogenicity. Bacterial endophytes colonize plant tissues, and their composition and diversity depend on many factors, including the plant organ, physiological conditions, plant growth stage, and environmental conditions. The presence of endophytes influences several vital activities of the host plant. They can promote plant growth, elicit a defense response against pathogen attack, and lessen abiotic stress. Despite their potential, especially with regard to crop production and environmental sustainability, research remains sparse. This review provides an overview of the current research, including the concept of endophytes, endophytes in plant organs, endophyte colonization, nutrient efficiency use, endophytes and crop nutrition, inoculation with synergistic bacteria, the effect of inoculum concentration on plant root microbiota and synthetic communities. It also examines the practical opportunities and challenges when utilizing endophytes in the field of sustainable agriculture. Finally, it explores the importance of these associations with regard to the future of agriculture and the environment.

“…Integrated Nutrient Management (INM) emphasizes the crucial role of PGPR, such as Azotobacter and Rhizobium, in enhancing nutrient cycling and promoting plant growth [12,13]. Challenges associated with phosphorus mobility in moist soils are addressed through the influence of soil conditions and plant species on the bioavailability of inorganic phosphorus [14,15].…”

The study explores the symbiotic relationship between Triticum aestivum and phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) in the rhizosphere. This research investigated the isolation and characterization of phosphate-solubilizing bacteria (PSB) from the rhizospheric soil of Triticum aestivum (Wheat) plants. Out of 57 isolates, 24 strains exhibited notable P-solubilization, with isolate PD-1 demonstrating the highest solubilization potential at 555.5 ug/ml. The study delves into the plant growth-promoting activities of these isolates, revealing diverse capabilities.Quantitative analyses highlighted the multifaceted potential of isolate PD-8, which not only demonstrated substantial P-solubilization (505.0 ug/ml) but also exhibited remarkable indole acetic acid (IAA) production, reaching 11 ug/ml in the presence of L-tryptophan. Four isolates, including PD-8, demonstrated hydrogen cyanide (HCN) production, with PD-8 further displaying antifungal activity.Compatibility testing with common pesticides showcased the resilience of PD-8, tolerating Carbendazim and Mancozeb up to 100 ppm. However, incompatibility was observed with Metalaxyl-M. These findings position PD-8 as a versatile bioinoculant, offering a comprehensive suite of plant growth-promoting attributes coupled with adaptability to specific pesticides.The study underscores the potential of PD-8 as a promising candidate for integrated agricultural practices, promoting sustainable crop productivity and effective disease management. This research contributes valuable insights into harnessing specific microbial strains for enhanced agricultural sustainability.

“…En el caso del aguacate, es indispensable partir con un patrón de buena calidad, es decir: diámetro de tallo superior a 0,5 cm, altura de planta superior a 30 cm, sistema radicular abundante, follaje de color verde oscuro y estar libre de enfermedades; dichas características se cumplen aproximadamente a los 150 días después de la siembra para posteriormente ser injertados con la variedad comercial (Sotomayor et al, 2019a). La necesidad de obtener plántulas de buena calidad y reducir el uso de productos agroquímicos ha promovido el uso de microorganismos benéficos (Kumar et al, 2021) debido a su función en la nutrición y crecimiento (Orozco-Mosqueda et al, 2021;Santoyo et al, 2021). Estudios previos han determinado que la aplicación de microorganismos mejora la absorción de nutrientes (Sotomayor et al 2019b) y protege contra organismos antagónicos a las plantas (Wang et al, 2022a), especialmente hongos del suelo como Fusarium oxysporum que ha sido reportado en viveros de aguacte (Marzaini & Mohd-Aris, 2021;Uribe et al, 2021).…”

Se aplicaron consorcios microbianos en un sistema de producción de plántulas de aguacate (Persea americana Mill.) cultivar ‘Criollo’, evaluándose posibles influencias en el crecimiento y estado nutricional de los patrones. Se evaluaron 4 tratamientos en un diseño de bloques completamente al azar (DBCA). Las semillas utilizadas fueron sembradas en sustrato estéril (tierra negra y pomina; 3:1) colocado en bolsas de vivero (polietileno, capacidad: 2,2 kg). Las inoculaciones de microrganismos (Glomus spp, Trichoderma spp., Bacillus spp., Pseudomonas spp.) se realizaron a los 70, 100, 120 y 150 días después de la siembra (DDS). Las variables altura de planta, diámetro de tallo e índice de verdor fueron evaluadas a lo largo del ensayo (80, 110, 140 y 170 DDS); una vez culminado el ensayo (170 DDS) se evaluó la concentración de nutrientes en tejido, materia seca de tallos, hojas y raíces. Existieron diferencias estadísticamente significativas a los 170 DDS para: altura de planta, diámetro de tallo y contenido de clorofila; el análisis de concentración de nutrientes en tejido reportó valores dentro de los parámetros adecuados para la especie e incremento en la concentración del Cu. Esta investigación reporta el efecto favorable de los microorganismos evaluados en el crecimiento de las plántulas y en la asimilación de nutrientes.
