These fungi are efficient in their function as they form gossamer-like formation in the root zone, very much smaller than the plant root hairs.]]> 2016-04-03 10:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760520 aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760561  If these thread-like bodies are unraveled, they can be of several miles in length creating more surface area than the plant root hairs. It is this mechanism that allows higher absorption of soil nutrients. The fungal hyphae enter the roots of the plants, thus allowing exchange of soil nutrients to the plant cells.]]> 2016-04-03 10:22:25 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760561 aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760630 2016-04-03 10:24:17 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760630 The application of mycorrhiza in Malaysia aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760690 Use of AMF is not popular in Malaysia because of the difficulty in producing the inoculum and the inoculum spore density. A privately owned company, Malaysian Agri Hi-Tech (MAH), has researched and upgraded the isolation of locally acclimatized species, their propagation and has increased spore quality and quantity. Through research, it has produced various AMF products and has tested them in the field, especially in the oil palm sector.]]> 2016-04-03 10:25:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760690 What is the biofertilizer?  aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760754 The term biofertilizer or called 'microbial inoculants' can be generally defined as a preparation containing live or latent cells of efficient strains of nitrogen fixing, phosphate solubilizing or cellulytic microorganisms used for application of seed, soil or composting areas with the objective of increasing the numbers of such microorganisms and accelerate certain microbial process to augment the extent of the availability of nutrients in a form which can assimilated by plant.]]> 2016-04-03 10:27:37 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760754 aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760832 Mycorrhiza inoculums are the biofertilizer that is increasingly being utilized and accepted in agriculture industry of Malaysia. Large scale productions of biofertilizer are produced mainly for supplying nutrient, amelioration of toxic effect in soils, root pest and disease control, improved water usage and soil fertility.]]> 2016-04-03 10:29:39 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760832 WHAT IS BSMI Technology ? aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760940 BSMIT (Bio’solution Microbial Inoculation Technology) was originally developed as a soil microbial inoculants, based on the concept that crops grow healthy by nurturing the soil without using chemical fertilizers and pesticides. Its range of application, since then, has expanded to animal husbandry, aquaculture, solid waste and wastewater treatment and sanitation. BSMIT has been proven to be very effective in improving soil, water and food quality.]]> 2016-04-03 10:32:09 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103760940 BSMIT is safe aliasyamimii https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103761056 BSMIT contains various good microorganisms, such as Amino Bacteria, Bacillus, Phototrophic bacteria and Yeasts. When applied to soil, water or plant, BSMIT, activates the existing good microorganisms. BSMIT is like a cheer leader for the good microorganisms and can cooperate with useful microorganisms existing anywhere in the world. BSMIT has been proven to be non- toxic; test on agriculture, livestock for acute toxicity test and on mice and minnows for chronic toxicity.]]> 2016-04-03 10:35:44 UTC https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103761056 EM™ https://padlet.com/aliasyamimii/microbialinoculants/wish/103777599 EM™ = Effective Microorganisms

Natural farming rejects foreign microorganisms. It also rejects microorganisms that are produced mechanically or artificially or refined simply to increase their market values. No other microorganism adapts with the same strength and effectiveness as indigenous microorganisms that have lived in the local area for a long time.

IMO is the basis of making fertile soil.
Farming is inconceivable without soil. Therefore adding strength and fertility to soil is the number one priority.

>target the specific insect and in turn protect beneficial insects.
>most of them are easily culturable in the lab, with minimum space.
>inexpensive to produce large quantities of inoculum.
>can control insect in cavities where chemical insecticides cannot reach.
>>can be used in two ways according to requirement
  1. SHORT TERM CONTROL : For a particular season (annual) or by using highly virulent pathogens.
  2. LONG TERM CONTROL : Generally used for perennial crops and less virulent pathogens are preferred.

>host specificity of most pathogens narrows down its use.
>necessity of maintaining a pathogen in a viable condition, until the insect is contacted.
>difficulty in producing some obligate and facultative pathogens on a large scale.
>requirement of favorable environmental conditions for the pathogen to act, multiply and execute its mode of action.
>tendency of dead insects remaining attached to the host.

2) more desirable crops
3) stronger, healthier and more nutritious plants
4) the inputs are made from natural materials, which are not only safe for the environment, but actually invigorate and rehabilitate the ecology.
5) higher yield
6) better quality
7) farmer friendly
8) zero waste emission
