V letu 2020 smo na Biotehniški fakulteti v Ljubljani zasnovali poljski poskus, v katerem smo posadili krompir (Solanum tuberosum L.) sorte 'Natascha'. Gomolje smo pred saditvijo namočili in kasneje nadzemne dele rastlin trikrat poškropili s pripravki Rhizoflo Premium (RP), Bioamino-L (BL) in pripravkom na podlagi bakterije Bacillus amyloliquefacien...

Plants can naturally interact with beneficial rhizobacteria to mediate defense responses against foliar pathogen infection. However, the mechanisms of rhizobacteria-mediated defense enhancement remain rarely clear. In this study, beneficial rhizobacterial strain Pseudomonas fluorescens DN16 greatly increased the resistance of cucumber plants agains...

Many strains of Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) have the ability to induce the systemic resistance in several pathosystems. This study investigates the protective effect of four strains belonging to Bacillus subtilis (Bs168, Bs2500, Bs2504 and Bs2508) on grapevine roots of the sensitive local grapevine cultivar “Helwani” against phyllox...

Light, water and healthy soil are three essential natural resources required for agricultural productivity. Industrialization of agriculture has resulted in intensification of cropping practices using enormous amounts of chemical pesticides and fertilizers that damage these natural resources. Therefore, there is a need to embrace agriculture practi...

Root-colonizing bacteria can support plant growth and help fend off pathogens. It is clear that such bacteria benefit from plant-derived carbon, but it remains ambiguous why they invest in plant-beneficial traits. We suggest that selection via protist predation contributes to recruitment of plant-beneficial traits in rhizosphere bacteria. To this e...

Nowadays, oil crops are very attractive both for human consumption and biodiesel production; however, little is known about their commensal rhizosphere microbes. In this study, rhizosphere samples were collected from physic nut and sacha inchi plants grown in several areas of Thailand. Rhizobacteria, cultivable in nitrogen-free media, and arbuscula...
ABSTRACT This study was carried on evaluating effects of inoculation with Bacillus species and generations of genetically improved seeds on Pinus taeda growth in nursery conditions. Two experiments, based on distinct inoculation methods (sowing and post-emergence) were performed under a 3 x 2 factorial, completely randomized block design (3 levels ...

To investigate the role of a microbial consortium in influencing of Camellia sinensis growth and rhizosphere bacteria microbial community structure. Based on glasshouse trials, the microbial consortium TCM was selected for a field trial. TCM significantly increased bud density (67·53%), leaf area (31·15%) and hundred-bud weight (22·5%) compared wit...

Plant beneficial rhizobacteria may antagonize soilborne plant pathogens by producing a vast array of volatile organic compounds (VOCs). The production of these compounds depends on the medium composition used for bacterial cell growth. Accordingly, Lysobacter capsici AZ78 (AZ78) grown on a protein-rich medium was previously found to emit volatile p...
