The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria effects on anatomical characteristics and nutritional value of Brachiaria (Syn. Urochloa) brizantha cv. BRS Piatã. The experimental design applied was completely randomized design  with three treatments: (1) non-inoculated unfertilized-control plants (C-), (2) non-inoculated fertilized-control plants (C+) and (3) B. brizantha inoculated with Pseudomonas fluorescens (BRM-32111) and Burkholderia pyrrocinia (BRM-32113). The following parameters were evaluated at 35 days after seedling emergence: biomass production, plant height, net photosynthesis (A), water-use efficiency (WUE), chlorophyll (SPAD), anatomical and nutritional. The rhizobacteria modified the anatomy of the leaf, culm and roots of B. brizantha. They also increased the chlorophyll content, A, WUE, total soluble carbohydrates, starch and crude protein contents, N, P, Mg and Fe concentrations, plant height, root area and biomass production. Therefore, we conclude that co-inoculation with P. fluorescens (BRM-32111) and B. pyrrocinia (BRM-32113) modified the anatomy and biochemistry of B. brizantha, promoting growth and nutrient accumulation. Therefore, these findings set up the basis for additional exploratory studies, using these rhizobacteria as biotechnological innovation with potential of use as biofertilizer in B. brizantha, aiming higher productivity and nutritive value in a more eco-friendly and sustainable pasture production system.

Abstract Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are non-pathogenic, soil-inhabiting, beneficial bacteria that colonize the roots of plants. Some PGPR strains are reported to increase nutrient uptake and fix atmospheric N, which suggests that biofertilization with PGPR may provide an alternative to N fertilization for forage production. In mid-August 2017, a study was initiated to evaluate PGPR as an alternative form of N fertilization for fall-stockpiled bermudagrass. Eighteen 1-m2plots were mowed to a 2.5-cm stubble height prior to stockpiling. Two strains of PGPR (Blend 20 and DH44) were selected for evaluation based on performance in greenhouse trials. Treatments included: control, fertilizer, DH44, DH44+fertilizer, Blend 20, and Blend 20+fertilizer (n = 3).Two applications of PGPR were applied at the beginning of the stockpiling season and 30 d later. Ammonium sulfate was applied at 56 kg/ha during the first PGPR application. Plots were clipped to a height of 2.5 cm in mid-November, December, and January to determine yield and nutritive value. Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED (SAS 9.4) as a completely randomized design.Yield was greater (P ≤ 0.007) for Blend 20+fertilizer, DH44, and Blend 20 (695, 673, and 664 kg DM/ha, respectively) than the control (598 kg DM/ha). Forage DM yield differed among harvest dates, with Blend 20+Fertilizer having the highest yield in January (835 kg DM/ha). Blend 20+fertilizer, control, and fertilizer treatments had the greatest effect on CP concentration (9.1, 9.5, and 10.1%, respectively). Concentrations of NDF and ADF were greatest (P ≤ 0.01) for Blend 20, Blend 20+fertilizer, DH44, and fertilizer. Percentage IVTD decreased with the later harvests (46.1, 33.8, and 39.0% in November, December, and January, respectively); however, CP was unchanged across all harvests (P3 0.12). Overall, PGPR increased DM yield of stockpiled bermudagrass while maintaining forage nutritive value similar to commercial fertilizer.

The field experiment was conducted during 2015-16 to study the effect of biofetilizer inoculation [control, Mesorhizobium only, Mesorhizobium + RB-1 (Pseudomonas argentinensis) and Mesorhizobium + RB-2 (Bacillus aryabhattai)] and four levels of phosphorus (0, 15, 20 and 25 kg P2O5 ha-1) on chickpea growth. RB-1 and RB-2 were the plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). Biofertilizers could play a crucial role in reducing the dependence on chemical fertilizers by fixing the atmospheric nitrogen for crop and/or by increasing the availability of phosphorus and phytohormones to the crop. The 16 treatment combinations were laid out in Factorial Randomized Complete Block Design and replicated three times. In biofertilizer treatments, Mesorhizobium + RB-1 proved superior over control and sole inoculation of Mesorhizobium and at par with Mesorhizobium + RB-2 with respect to plant height (cm), number of branches (plant-1), shoot and root dry matter (kg ha-1) which were recorded at 30, 60 90, 120 days after sowing (DAS) and at harvest. Application of 25 kg P2O5 ha-1 gave the highest values of all the growth at-tributes viz. plant height (60 cm), number of primary (5.3) and secondary (27.2) branches per plant, shoot dry matter (4000 kg ha-1) and root dry matter (354 kg ha-1) which were significantly higher than that of 0 and 15 kg P2O5 ha-1 and at par with 20 kg P2O5 ha-1. Similar results were observed in case of crop growth rate (CGR) whereas relative growth rate (RGR) was not influenced significantly by various biofertilizer and phosphorus treatments. The dual inoc-ulation with PGPR strains along with phosphorus application have a supplementary effect on the growth of chickpea.

Penelitian ini bertujuan yang menguji Perbandingan pertumbuhan vegetatif tanaman cabai merah (capsicum Annuum L.) akibat Pemberian Komposisi PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) yang perbeda. Pertumbuhan tanaman diukur berdasarkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, volume akar, berat basah dan berat kering tanaman. Hasil penelitian menujukkan bahwa PGPR dapat meningkatkan tinggi tanaman, jumlah daun, volume akar, berat basah dan berat kering tanaman cabe.Tinggi tanaman terbaik setelah diperlakuan selama 28 hari adalah dengan pemberian PGPR disertai dengan pemberian pupuk kandang dengan tinggi (24.44 cm), yang diikuti oleh pemberian PGPR + kompos dengan tinggi (22.04 cm), dan pemberian PGPR + NPK dengan tnggi tanaman 19.68 cm . Volume akar akan lebih tinggi bila diberikan PGPR yang ditambah dengan pupuk kandang , atau kompos maupun NPK, tetapi tdak berbeda hasilnya bila hanya diberikan PGPR saja. Jumlah daun dapat ditingkatkan bila diberikan PGPR yang ditambah dengan pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. Pemberian PGPR + NPK tidak memberikan jumlah daun yang berbeda dengan pemberian PGPR saja.Berat basah akan meningkat bila diberikan PGPR saja maupun ditambah dengan pemberian pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. PGPR ditambah dengan pupuk kandang maupun kompos memberikan dampak yang sama terhadap berat basah.Berat kering akan meningkat bila diberikan PGPR saja maupun ditambah dengan pemberian pupuk kandang, atau kompos maupun NPK. PGPR ditambah dengan pupuk kandang maupun kompos memberikan dampak yang sama terhadap berat basahThis study aimed to examine the comparison of vegetative growth of red chili (capsicum Annuum L.) due to the administration of different PGPR (Plant Growth-Promoting Rhizobacteria) Composition. Plant growth was measured based on plant height, number of leaves, root volume, wet weight and dry weight of the plant. The results showed that PGPR can increase plant height, number of leaves, root volume, wet weight and dry weight of chilli plants. The best plant height after being treated for 28 days is by giving PGPR accompanied by administering manure with height (24.44 cm), followed by by giving PGPR + compost with a height (22.04 cm), and giving PGPR + NPK with a plant height of 19.68 cm. Root volume will be higher if given PGPR added with manure, or compost or NPK, but the results are not different if only given PGPR. The number of leaves can be increased if given PGPR added with manure, or compost or NPK. Provision of PGPR + NPK does not provide a number of leaves that are different from the administration of PGPR alone. Wet weight increased when given PGPR alone or added with manure, or compost or NPK. PGPR added with manure or compost gives the same effect on wet weight. Dry weight will increase if given PGPR alone or added with manure, or compost or NPK. PGPR coupled with manure or compost has the same effect on wet weight

The experiment was conducted to study the effect of four levels of phosphorus (0, 20, 30 and 40 kg P2O5 ha-1) and four biofertilizer treatments [uninoculated control, Rhizobium, plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and Rhizobium + PGPR] on growth and grain yield of lentil. The experiment was conducted in factorial randomized complete block design (RCBD) with three replications. The periodic data recorded at 30, 60, 90, 120 days after sowing (DAS) and at harvest showed that the highest growth in various parameters i.e. plant height, branches plant-1 and shoot dry matter accumulation was recorded with application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1, however, it was at par with 30 P2O5 ha-1. Among the biofertilizers, Rhizobium + PGPR treatment gave maximum values of growth parameters like plant height, branches plant-1 and shoot dry matter accumulation at all the stages. At 30-60 DAS, the maximum crop growth rate (CGR) was recorded with the application of 40 kg P2O5 ha-1 (71.3 kg ha-1 day-1) and co-inoculation of Rhizobium and PGPR (72.0 kg ha-1 day-1). Application of 40 P2O5 ha-1 and use of coinoculation (Rhizobium + PGPR) provided the highest grain yields. The study highlights the importance of phosphorus application and biofertilizers inoculation for improving the growth and grain yield of lentil.

Abstract Forage production practices have been greatly affected by the increasing cost of N fertilization. Therefore, supplemental and alternative N sources are needed to ensure the economic viability of these systems. A 2-yr, small plot study was designed to evaluate plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as an alternative form of N fertilizer for fall-stockpiled bermudagrass (Cynodon dactylon). Eighteen 1-m2 ‘Coastal’ bermudagrass plots were treated with a synthetic N fertilizer, DH44 (PGPR strain), DH44+fertilizer, Blend 20 (PGPR blend), Blend 20+fertilizer, and a control, then stockpiled through the fall. Two PGPR applications were applied in late-August and again 30 d later. Fertilizer and PGPR+fertilizer plots received (NH4)2SO4, at a rate of 56 kg N/ha. One-third of each plot was clipped to 2.5 cm in November, December, and January, respectively. Forage DM yield, CP, NDF, ADF, and ADL were determined via wet chemistry at the Auburn University Ruminant Nutrition Laboratory (Auburn, AL). Data were analyzed using PROC MIXED (SAS 9.4, SAS Inst., Cary, NC) as a completely randomized design. Yield was greatest (P ≤ 0.0318) for Blend 20+fertilizer, but it was not different (P = 0.2552) from that of the synthetic fertilizer (1,914 kg ha-1, 1,768 kg ha-1, respectively). Concentration of CP was least (P ≤ 0.0437) for DH44 and Blend 20 treatments (90 g kg-1 and 92 g kg-1, respectively). Concentrations of NDF for the control were different (P ≤ 0.0045) for all treatments except synthetic fertilizer (P = 0.1092). Concentrations of ADF were not different (P ≥ 0.1613) excluding the control (P ≤ 0.0525; 342.8 g kg-1and 358.0 g kg-1, respectively). In vitro true digestibility (IVTD) was not different (P = 0.0947) among all treatments (463.1 g kg-1). All yield and nutritive value parameters were greater (P ≤ 0.0246) in Year 2. These results indicate that PGPR is a viable option for biofertilization of fall-stockpiled bermudagrass; however, further investigation into the effects of PGPR inoculants at a field scale are needed.

Abstract Commercial N fertilizer are labor intensive and expensive for many forage producers. Alternative N fertility options are necessary for the long-term sustainability of forage systems. A 2-yr experiment evaluating plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as an alternative N source for ‘Russell’ bermudagrass (C. dactylon) and ‘KY 31’ tall fescue (L. arundinaceum) was conducted in Alabama. Fourteen, 3-m2 plots were treated with full N (56 kg/ha) and ½ N (28 kg/ha), Accomplish LM (AMS), AMS + ½ N, DH44, Blend 20, and a control. DH44 is a single strain of Paenibacillus sonchi, while Blend 20 contains 2 strains of Bacillus pumilus and 1 strain of B. spaericus. Forage samples were taken every 4 weeks with a 0.1-m2 quadrat then analyzed for NDF, ADF, CP, and yield using NIRS. Data were analyzed using Proc GLIMMIX of SAS 9.4 (SAS Inst., Cary, NC) as a completely randomized design (n = 2). For both forages, full N had greater (P < 0.0139) yield when compared to the control (tall fescue: 8,295 vs. 7,353 kg/ha; bermudagrass: 9,329 vs. 8,109 kg/ha). There were no differences (P ≥ 0.05) in NDF concentration for either forage. Full and ½ N had greater CP than AMS in bermudagrass (11.5, 11.4%; P ≤ 0.0490). Blend 20 treated bermudagrass had greater ADF than full and ½ N (32.7, 30.7, and 30.9%, respectively; P < 0.0313). Blend 20 treated tall fescue had greater ADF compared to AMS + N and DH44 (35.8, 12.1, and 33.9%, respectively; P < 0.0227). Full N tall fescue had greater CP) compared to AMS (12.1, AMS CP %, respectively; P < 0.0082). DH44 had greater CP compared to AMS and Blend 20 (11.9, 11.0, and 11.0%, respectively; P < 0.0423). For both forages, PGPR treated plots produced yields and maintained forage nutritive value not different than the commercial fertilizer.

The Peruvian Andean Plateau, one of the main production areas of native varieties of Chenopodium quinoa, is exposed to abrupt decreases in environmental temperature, affecting crop production. Plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria that tolerate low temperatures could be used as organic biofertilizers in this region. We aimed to bioprospect the native psychrotolerant bacteria of the quinoa rhizosphere in this region that show plant-growth-promoting traits. Fifty-one strains belonging to the quinoa rhizosphere were characterised; 73% of the total could grow at low temperatures (4, 6, and 15 °C), whose genetic diversity based on DNA amplification of interspersed repetitive elements (BOX) showed 12 different profiles. According to the 16S rRNA sequence, bacterial species belonging to the classes Beta- and Gammaproteobacteria were identified. Only three (6%) isolates identified as nonpathogenic bacteria exhibited plant-growth-promoting activities, like IAA production, phosphate solubilization, growth in a nitrogen-free medium, and ACC deaminase production at 6 and 15 °C. ILQ215 (Pseudomonas silesiensis) and JUQ307 (Pseudomonas plecoglossicida) strains showed significantly positive plant growth effects in aerial length (about 50%), radicular length (112% and 79%, respectively), and aerial and radicular mass (above 170% and 210%, respectively) of quinoa plants compared with the control without bacteria. These results indicate the potential of both psychrotolerant strains to be used as potential organic biofertilizers for quinoa in this region.

Chemical fertilizer (CF) is necessary for optimal growth and grain production in rice farming. However, the continuous application of synthetic substances has adverse effects on the natural environment. Amending synthetic fertilizer with plant-growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an alternate option to reduce CF usage. In this study, a field trial was undertaken in southern Taiwan. We aimed to investigate the effects of reducing CF, either partially or completely, with PGPR on the vegetative growth, biomass production, and grain yield of rice plants cultivated under alternate wetting and drying (AWD) cultivation. In addition, we aimed to determine an optimal reduction in CF dose when incorporated with PGPR for application in rice cultivation under AWD. The trial consisted of four treatments, namely, 0% CF + 100% PGPR (FP1), 25% CF + 75% PGPR (FP2) 50% CF + 50% PGPR (FP3), and 100% CF + 0% PGPR (CONT). A randomized complete blocked design (RCBD) with three replicates was used. A reduction in CF by 25–50% with the difference compensated by PGPR significantly (p ≤ 0.05) influenced the crops biomass production. This improved the percentage of filled grains (PFG), and the thousand-grain weight (1000-GW) of treated plants by 4–5%. These improvements in growth and yield components eventually increased the grain yield production by 14%. It is concluded that partial replacement of CF with PGPR could be a viable approach to reduce the use of CF in existing rice cultivation systems. Furthermore, the approach has potential as a sustainable technique for rice cultivation.
