Flocculated microbial inoculants for delivery of agriculturally beneficial microorganisms

摘要

Flocculated bacterial cells are utilized as high-density crop inoculants and delivery systems for one or more agriculturally beneficial microorganisms. The flocculated form of bacteria, such as Azospirillum and Rhizobium, possess superior survivability under storage, as a seed coating and mixed seed priming media. Other microorganisms may be co- flocculated with the aforementioned bacteria, thereby providing a crop inoculant for delivery of multiple agriculturally beneficial microorganisms.
