This collection features five peer-reviewed reviews on biostimulant
applications in agriculture. The first chapter provides a
comprehensive overview of the optimal design and formulation of
microbial and non-microbial biostimulants. The chapter presents two
case studies to demonstrate the successful commercialisation of
microbial and non-microbial biostimulant products. The second
chapter considers the utilisation of humic substances (HS) as plant
biostimulants in agriculture and their impact on the physical and
chemical properties of soil. The chapter also discusses the
production of HS. The third chapter reviews the wealth of research
on the mechanism of action, applications and efficacy of key
biostimulants such as Bacillus species, Pseudomonas species,
Trichoderma species and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi. The fourth
chapter assesses recent advances in the use of plant
growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) as a means of enhancing crop
root function and nutrient use. The chapter also considers the
challenge of practical adoption and use of PGPR in commercial
agricultural settings. The final chapter reviews the utilisation of
biostimulants as an integrated pest management tool in
horticulture. The chapter considers their role in promoting plant
growth, building soil structure, as well as pest and disease
suppression.
This collection features four peer-reviewed literature reviews on
plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria in agriculture. The first
chapter considers the use of plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria
(PGPR) as plant biostimulants in agriculture. It considers the
benefits of PGPR, such as their ability to promote plant growth and
productivity under both normal and abiotic-stressed induced
environments. The chapter also looks towards PGPR application as a
sustainable and efficient method to enhance crop production. The
second chapter reviews recent research on the use of PGPR as
biofertilizers to enhance root function and improve nutrient
uptake, with emphasis on their effects on root architecture,
metabolism and adaptation to abiotic stress. The third chapter
explores the use of microbial bio-effectors and their ability to
optimise the mineral nutrition of agricultural crops. The chapter
also reviews the wealth of research on the mechanism of action,
applications and efficacy of key plant growth-promoting
microorganisms (PGPMs). The final chapter reviews the use of plant
growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) as a biocontrol agent against
invertebrate pests. The chapter analyses the effects of PGPB
species against these pest types and enlists a case study on the
PGPB species Pseudomonas protegens to further demonstrate this.

haben sich viele soziale Netzwerke gebildet, in welchen Nutzer sich
uber Produkte austauschen und Meinungen daruber aussern. Fur
Unternehmen ist von Bedeutung, wie sich Meinungen zu ihren
Produkten entwickeln. Hierfur mussen quantitative und qualitative
Daten, d.h. Beziehungen und Meinungen operationalisiert, um diese
analysieren zu konen. Ziel dieser Arbeit ist es, Meinungen zum
iPhone in Internetforen zu untersuchen. Hierfur wird eine soziale
Netzwerkanalyse durchgefuhrt, um Kennzahlen von Nutzern abzuleiten.
Diese werden anschliessend als Eingabedaten fur neuronale Netze
verwendet. Mit Hilfe dieser Netze werden zunachst Nutzer anhand von
Kennzahlen charakterisiert. Anschliessend wird die Entwicklung von
Meinungen in Internetforen prognostizie
