Methods to quantify Bacillus simplex-based inoculant and its effect as a seed treatment on field-grown corn and soybean in Brazil
Abstract: Growth-promoting bacteria in agriculture have become an important tool to improve crop performance and productivity in the face of climate change and deteriorating soil conditions. Bacillus simplex is a recently developed active ingredient for the growth promotion of corn and soybean in Brazil. This study compared three methods to quantify B. simplex colony-forming units in the inoculant product and evaluated the treatment effects of four different concentrations of a B. simplex-based inoculant on corn and soybean root and shoot dry weight, the Normalized Difference Vegetation Index (NDVI), and yield. Field trials were performed at four different locations for each crop, in Mato Grosso do Sul and Paraná for corn, and in Mato Grosso do Sul, Minas Gerais, and Paraná for soybean. The performance of B. simplex was compared to an Azospirillum brasilense-based inoculant, a polymer seed treatment, and untreated controls. The results showed that the official MAPA method for quantifying microbes in inoculants recovered the highest number of B. simplex colonies. However, all three evaluated quantification methods recovered over 100 million colony-forming units per mL (108 CFU.mL-1). The field results showed that the B. simplex inoculant generally increased corn and soybean yields as much or more as the A. brasilense product and that the polymer seed treatment had no impact on yield. The treatment effect on root and shoot weight, and NDVI, was inconsistent. This research shows that B. simplex is quantifiable with three different methods and that it can improve yield in corn and soy. The Bacillus simplex-based inoculant has the potential to become widely used in Brazil.
期刊介绍:
From 2017 the Journal of Seed Science (JSS) will circulate online version only.
Original scientific studies and communications, not yet published or submitted to another journal for publication and written in Portuguese or English, will be accepted for publication. For manuscripts submitted in English, the authors should provide an adequated version.
The SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION is a category of scientific manuscript which describes a technique, an equipment, new species or observations and surveys of limited results. It has the same scientific rigor as the “Scientific Articles” and the same value as a publication. The classification of a manuscript as a SCIENTIFIC COMMUNICATION is based on its content and scientific merit but it can be a preliminary study, simple and not definitive on a certain subject, with publication justified by its uniqueness and contribution to the area.
The Editorial Board of the JSS may invite leading authors of recognized reputation to compose specific Review Articles covering topics of their specialization that will convey to the scientific community the state-of-the-art knowledge related to the specific theme.
