Ressource preservation by application of bioeffectors in european crop protection
Project
Project code: JKI-EP-08-2193
Contract period: 01.10.2012
- 30.09.2015
Purpose of research: Basic research
The project ist aimed to increase the field efficiency of the most promising bio-effectors” (i.e. plant growth promoting microorganisms (PGPMs) and active natural compounds) with the final goal to contribute to the ecological intensification of agriculture, by developing a viable alternative to mineral fertilisers. However, according to the present state of scientific knowledge, none of the known BEs per se has the potential to fulfil the requested requirements of providing a viable alternative to mineral fertilisers. There is no realistic perspective to reach this goal by simply improving BE products as stand-alone approach. This is strongly implicated by the character of improvements that can be achieved in case of successful BE application such as: (i) stimulation of root growth, root activity and mycorrhization, (ii) solubilisation of sparingly soluble mineral nutrients in the rhizosphere, symbiotic and non-symbiotic biological dinitrogen (N2) fixation, (iv) pathogen suppression.
