Chemical-based conventional fanning methods are not unlike symptomatic therapy. Examples of this are applying fertilizers when crops shows symptoms of nutrient-deficiencies, and applying pesticides whenever crops are attacked by insects and diseases. In efforts to control the soil microflora some scientists feel that the introduction of beneficial micro organisms should follow a symptomatic approach. However, […]
It is noteworthy that most of the microorganisms encountered in any particular soil are harmless to plants with only a relatively few that function as plant pathogens or potential pathogens. Harmful microorganisms become dominant if conditions develop that are favorable to their growth, activity and reproduction. Under such conditions, soil borne pathogens (e.g., fungal pathogens) […]
For many years microbiologists have tried to culture beneficial microorganisms for use as soil inoculants to overcome the harmful effects of phytopathogenic organisms, including bacteria, fungi, and nematodes. Such attempts have usually involved single applications of pure cultures of microorganisms which have been largely unsuccessful for several reasons. First, it is necessary to thoroughly understand […]
The idea of controlling and manipulating thes oil microflora through the use of inoculants, organic amendments,and cultural and management practices to createa more favorable soil microbiological environment for optimum crop production and protection is not new. For almost a century, microbiologists have known that organic wastes and residues, including animal manures, crop residues, green manures, […]

The use of mixed cultures has been criticized be cause it is difficult to demonstrate conclusively which microorganisms are responsible for the observed effects, how the introduced microorganisms interact with the indigenous species, and how these new associations affect the soil plant environment. Thus, the use of mixed cultures of beneficial micro-organ isms as soil […]
Unfortunately, certain microbial cultures have been promoted by their sup pliers as being effective for controlling a wide range of soil-borne plant diseases when in fact they were effective only on specific pathogens under very specific conditions. Some suppliers have suggested that their particular microbial inoculant is akin to a pesticide that would suppress the […]
The misuse and excessive use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides have of often adversely affected the environment and created many problems associated with a) food safety and quality and b) human and animal health. Consequently, there has been a growing interest in na ture fanning and organic agriculture by consumers and environmentalists as possible alternatives […]
