MICROBIAL COMPOSITIONS BASED ON NATIVE RHIZOBIA STRAINS AND METHOD OF IMPROVING LEGUME PASTURES IN ACID SOILS WITH MANGANESE TOXICITY

摘要

The present invention refers to microbial compositions based on native rhizobia strains belonging to different species of the genera Rhizobium and Ensifer, to these microbial strains and to methodologies for improving pastures and forages through the application of these compositions.;These compositions are used to improve the productivity of pastures by improving the growth of plants, namely legumes, in particular clovers and lucerne, which are widely used in acidic soils with Manganese toxicity problems in the "Montado" system.;Thus, the present invention has application in the field of agriculture, especially in sustainable agriculture, as a way to potentiate the growth of plants, particularly in situations of abiotic stress.
