Description

Method of Producing a Multi-functional Biofertilizer for Use as Seed/Planting <
Material Inoculant for Use in All Crops =
TECHNICAL FIELD OF INVENTION .
The present invention relates in general to agricultural farm input used for = growing crops but more particularly as a fertilizer, specifically a biofertilizer or a © microbial inoculant that is applied to seeds, planting materials or soil prior to sowing/planting. The invention focuses on the method of producing the biofertilizer. ic
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to microbial preparation that can be used for crop production and to bring back soil fertility and biodiversity in agricultural fields. It is a known fact that man has used repeatedly large volume of synthetic chemical fertilizers to enhance soil fertility and increase yield. However, through time, soil properties deteriorated, with increasing soil acidity, toxicity of micronutrients, deficiency of macronutrients and death of majority of resident macro and microorganisms. The present invention provides a means of bringing back soil fertility and biodiversity, since this invention contains many species and strains of microbes that are known to be beneficial to plant through provision of nutrient elements from the air, and unavailable sources. Furthermore, the beneficial microbes in particular the endomycorrhizal fungi, serves as root extenders in the greater accumulation of water and nutrients as well as protection from soil-borne pathogens. /
Bioferiilizer or aiso referred to as microbial inoculant is not a recent technology.
Biofertilizers are microbial preparations containing live or latent cells of efficient - strains of microorganisms, which could be nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizing or — cellulose degrading. These are for application to seed, soil or composting materials. os
The major aim in using biofertilizers is to increase the numbers of such . microorganisms and accelerate certain microbial processes. Through microbial action 5 nutrient availability and plant assimilation are hastened. =
Earlier biofertilizer technologies contain only one or few strains or species or type of microbes and targeted to be applied to specific crops, such as the prior art
WO/2013/098829 which includes only mycorrhizal species. Another prior art
WO2008/130701 contains only psychrophilic bacterial species, while prior art [PC
C05G3/04 for a microbial inoculant contains probiotics, yeasts and two bacterial species namely Bacillus licheniformis and Bacillus subtilis for rice and com (CN104402650). Similarly, another prior art CO5F11/08 for a biofertilizer product consists of a different set of bacterial species, namely: Bacillus megaterium and
Bacillus mucilagenosus for agricultural fertilization. Although the biofertilizer products and formulations seem effective due to the action of the species and strains of microbes present, it cannot be denied that their combined action maybe better.
In seedling establishment, the new plant requires nutrient for its continuous growth. If microbial inoculant applied is inadequate of nutrients, the microbes compete with the plant for the nutrition in the rhizosphere, and if really inadequate, the plant suffers, leading to stunted or poor growth. To correct this problem, biofertilizers should be supplied with enough nutrition for the microbes to maintain their population while in storage and when applied to the soil/plant. The present - invention made sure that the microbial components are supplied with adequate = nutrition in a readily available and organic form such as fresh growth medium and i» microbial biomass. However, a prior art exist with this nature. Prior arts C05D9/00 - and COSF11/08 refer to the method of producing a bio-stabilized biofertilizer in ~ pelleted form. These prior arts also contain microbial inoculant but are applied to ® make compost. ~
The present invention tries to solve the deficiencies or limitations of the prior arts by being non-host specific, bio-stabilized with a ready source of nutrients and multitude of reserved nutrition in the form of microbial biomass in the compost : component of the carrier, with mixed microorganisms not only of mycorrhizal fungi but aiso of many beneficial bacteria and fungi. These microbes has the capability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilize unavailable phosphorus as well as secrete plant growth regulators, e.g. auxin and gibberellins.
The mycorrhizal fungi in the biofertilizer consist of the following cultured species, namely: Glomus manihotis, Gl. fasciculatum, Gl. etunicatum, Paraglomus occultum, Glomus clarum, Glomus aggregatum, Gigaspora margarita and Gigaspora albida which could be present in various proportions.
The biofertilizer also consists of the following bacterial species, namely:
Bacillus sp., Paenibacillus sp., Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense, Ochrobactrum ciceri and Stenotrophomas pavanii. The biofertilizer also contains the cyanobacterial species Arthrospira platensis. The present invention also contains sources of macro gi
EP and micro nutrients which can be used by the microbe and the developing root in the = early stages of growth. = foment
The present invention comes in powder form and can easily be used to coat seeds or planting material. Itis slightly soluble in water and hence can be applied as - a slurry mixture to coat seeds and planting materials. -

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION
The present invention is a multi-functional biofertilizer for use by all crops, either applied onto seeds, cuttings, tubers or other planting materials. The biofertilizer is in a stabilize form and is more complete compared with single strain inoculants, since it has many species and strains of microorganisms, ready source of nutrients for their growth and the developing root. The biofertilizer is composed of many species and strains of microorganisms such as mycorrhizal fungi, namely
Glomus manihotis, Gl. fasciculatum, Gl. etunicatum, Paraglomus occultum, Gl. clarum, Gl. aggregatum, Gigaspora margarita and Gi. albida. The biofertilizer also contains the following bacterial species, namely: Bacillus sp., Paenibacillus sp.,
Ochrobactrum pseudogrignonense, Ochrobactrum ciceri and Stenotrophomas pavanii. The biofertilizer also contains the cyanobacterial species Arthrospira platensis. These microbes has earlier been screened for their ability to fix atmospheric nitrogen, solubilized phosphorus, secrete growth hormones such as
Indole-Acetic-Acid (IAA), gibberellin and serve as source of other nutrients for the nutrition of the other microbes and developing plant. yf
