Humic Substances: Humic, Humic Acid and Fulvic Acids
What Are Humic Substances? Plants at the end of the life cycle get decomposed in the presence of microorganisms and with the help of mineralization tend to return to soil in the form of organic matter. These large organic carbon-chain complexes composed of carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, and sulfur, contributing towards the brown or black […]
[Part 4] Multi-Role Microbes in Agriculture: Pseudomonas fluorescens
What is Pseudomonas fluorescens? Pseudomonas spp. are bacterial species ubiquitous in agricultural soils, well adapted to growing in the rhizosphere and well suited as biocontrol and growth-promoting agents (Weller et al., 2007). Pseudomonas spp. rapidly utilize root and seed exudates, multiply in rhizosphere and spermoshphere environment and in the interior of the plants, produce a […]
[Part 3] Multi-Role Microbes in Agriculture: Bacillus spp.
What is Bacillus spp.? Bacillus spp. group of bacteria have own acronym as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), form a biofilm on plant root to promote plant growth and provide defensive action to fending off plant pathogens(George H, 2019). The population of B. subtilis, B. licheniformis and B. velezensis are the most common ones and […]
