EM (effective microorganisms) is a biofertilizer consisting of a mixed culture of potentially beneficial microorganisms. In this study, we investigated the effects of EM treatment on leaf in vivo chlorophyll a fluorescence of photosystem II (PSII), yield, and macronutrient content of bean plants grown on different substrates (nutrient rich substrate vs. nutrient poor sandy soil) in controlled environmental conditions (pot experiment in greenhouse). EM-treated plants maintained optimum leaf photosynthetic efficiency two weeks longer than the control plants, and increased yield independent of substrate. The levels of seed nutritionally-relevant molecules (proteins, lipids, and starch) were only slightly modified, apart from the protein content, which increased in plants grown in sandy soil. Although EM can be considered a promising and environmentally friendly technology for sustainable agriculture, more studies are needed to elucidate the mechanism(s) of action of EM, as well as its efficacy under open field conditions.

A análise in vivo da taxa de assimilação líquida de CO2 (A) em resposta à densidade de fluxo de fótons fotossinteticamente ativos (DFFFA) e em resposta à concentração intercelular de CO2 da folha (Ci) permite uma avaliação detalhada do processo fotossintético. Com as curvas A/DFFFA, se estabelece a DFFFA máxima, em que a maior parte da energia absorvida é transferida para a formação de produtos fotoquímicos. Já com as curvas A/Ci, calculou-se a velocidade máxima de carboxilação da Rubisco (Vc,max) de 89,3 µmol m-2 s-1, a velocidade máxima de oxigenação da Rubisco (Vo,max) de 24,7 µmol m-2 s-1, a velocidade máxima de transporte de elétrons (Jmax) de 159,8 µmol m-2 s-1, do qual a regeneração de RuBP é dependente, a respiração mitocondrial (Rd) de 0,88 µmol m-2 s-1, e a condutância mesofílica (g m) de 0,47 mol m-2 s-1, para o feijoeiro comum cultivado no Brasil (Phaseolus vulgaris var. mexicanus).

Before And After

The results obtained in pot and field experiments have shown that <i>Helminthosporium sorokinianum</i> is able to infect bean plants. The cotyledons and roots of shoots during the first three weeks of growth are attacked the most frequently. Dark brown spots occur on the above-mentined organs. The infection of roots and cotyledonsof shoots is responsible for gangrene both before and after germination. Infected plants which remain alive only show symptoms of infection in the root system. The infection of roots by <i>H. sorokinianum</i> in older plants is detromental to growth and causes a decrease in the vield obtained from bean plants.

As determined by the length for which roots were killed, there was no diurnal variation in the effectiveness on skeleton weed (Chondrilla juncea L.) of spray applications of 'Methoxone' at two-hourly intervals over a period of 24 hours. As determined by reduction in growth above the primary leaves, there was a well-marked diurnal variation in the effectiveness on bean plants (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) of drop applications of 'Methoxone.'
