Technology of multipurpose microbial fertilizer supporting sustainable system of soybean production

Abstract

Multipurpose microbial fertilizer MFMF has been developed to increase fertilization efficiency to support sustainable soybean production system. Multipurpose microbial fertilizer can supply a substantial portion of nitrogen and phosphorous which is required by soybean through their symbiotic relationship with rhizobis and phosphate dissolving capability, and thus save the use of anorganic fertilizer. Results of the demonstration plot using MPMF in farmer fields showed accordingly that MPMF can increase soybean yield approximately up to 242 kg/ha, and decrease use of nitrogen fertilizer up to 100% and phosphstefertilizerupto50%fromtherecommcndationdosage.
