Inoculant Production with Diluted Liquid Cultures of Rhizobium spp. and Autoclaved Peat: Evaluation of Diluents, Rhizobium spp., Peats, Sterility Requirements, Storage, and Plant Effectiveness.

Abstract:

:Fully grown broth cultures of various fast- and slow-growing rhizobia were deliberately diluted with various diluents before their aseptic incorporation into autoclaved peat in polypropylene bags (aseptic method) or mixed with the peat autoclaved in trays (tray method). In a factorial experiment with the aseptic method, autoclaved and irradiated peat samples from five countries were used to prepare inoculants with water-diluted cultures of three Rhizobium spp. When distilled water was used as the diluent, the multiplication and survival of rhizobia in the peat was similar to that with diluents having a high nutrient status when the aseptic method was used. In the factorial experiment, the mean viable counts per gram of inoculant were log 9.23 (strain TAL 102) > log 8.92 (strain TAL 82) > log 7.89 (strain TAL 182) after 24 weeks of storage at 28 degrees C. The peat from Argentina was the most superior for the three Rhizobium spp., with a mean viable count of log 9.0 per g at the end of the storage period. The quality of inoculants produced with diluted cultures was significantly (P = 0.05) better with irradiated than with autoclaved peat, as shown from the factorial experiment. With the tray method, rhizobia in cultures diluted 1,000-fold or less multiplied and stored satisfactorily in the presence of postinoculation contaminants, as determined by plate counts, membrane filter immunofluorescence, and plant infection procedures. All strains of rhizobia used in both the methods showed various degrees of population decline in the inoculants when stored at 28 degrees C. Fast- and slow-growing rhizobia in matured inoculants produced by the two methods showed significant (P < 0.01) decline in viability when stored at 4 degrees C, whereas the viability of some strains increased significantly (P < 0.01) at the same temperature. The plant effectiveness of inoculants produced with diluted cultures and autoclaved peat did not differ significantly from that of inoculants produced with undiluted cultures and gamma-irradiated peat.
