（Lecture outline） “R/D of biofertilizer in Asia” Establishment of environmental friendly sustainable agriculture and reduction of chemical fertilizer input are required in Asia. I would introduce biofertilizer technology for several crop cultivations. This technology utilizes several beneficial soil microorganisms to increase supply of plant nutrients from soil to plants, and has a potential to reduce the amount of chemical fertilizer input without decreasing yield of crops. In this lecture, I focus on (1) Characteristics of microorganisms inhabiting the crop rhizosphere, (2) Definition of biofertilizer, (3) Introduction of microbial species such as rhizobia and PGPR used for biofertilizer, (4) Current situation of diverse biofertilizer development in Asian countries. I also introduce R/D of our Bacillus biofertilizer "Kikuichi" for paddy rice. |
