Multifunctional liquid biofertilizer as an innovative agronomic input for modern agriculture: Biobaja cecair multi fungsi sebagai input agronomi inovatif untuk pertanian moden. In: Research and Development Seminar 2010, 12-15 Oct 2010, Malaysian Nuclear Agency, Bangi, Malaysia. (2010)
Abstract
Liquid biofertilizer is increasingly available in the market as one o f the alternatives to chemical and organic fertilizers as well as solid substrate-based biofertilizers. One o f the benefits from biofertilizer is the contribution from population o f microorganisms available. These microorganisms may enhance the plant growth and create healthy rhizosphere. The advantage o f a liquid biofertilizer is that no solid carrier is needed. These products are also developed fo r potential application in modem agriculture such as soilless farming systems, viz. fertigation and hydroponics. Traditionally, liquid biofertilizer is produced from fermentation o f effective microorganisms which was recommended to be used within three months. Therefore, the development o f low-cost and long shelf-life liquid biofertilizers was conducted at Malaysian Nuclear Agency (Nuclear Malaysia). Three biofertilizer inoculums (phosphate solubilising bacteria and plant growth promoting bacteria) were developed into fo u r formulations o f liquid biofertilizers. The liquid biofertilizers were kept at low temperatures (9 + 2 °C) and room temperatures (28 ± 2°C) fo r shelf-life study. Nutrient broth liquid biofertilizer kept at low temperatures showed significantly high survival rates after storage fo r six months as compared to other formulations and treatments.
