Bacillus subtilis: A UTILIZAÇÃO DE BIOINSUMOS COMO RECURSO POTENCIALIZADOR DE PRODUÇÃO DE PASTAGEM NO CERRADO

Abstract

Brazilian livestock farming stands out for its competitive capacity in pasture systems where the animals themselves perform the function of harvesting their own food. In this perspective, there is a search for improvements that focus on increasing the productivity of quality pasture for animals. Numerous technologies are used, among which the appropriate management of plant physiology and meeting their nutrient needs for proper development stand out. Technological innovations using bioinputs have shown potential for use in agriculture. Among these bioinputs, the use of Bacillus subtilis. The use of this rhizobacteria promotes plant growth (PGPR) because it has several direct and indirect mechanisms that favor plant development. These are highlighted because they demonstrate nutrient availability and alteration of phytohormone homeostasis, in addition to being related to the production of substances that help combat harmful pathogens, enzymes and other substances that help in the biometabolic processes of plants, especially the increase in the chlorophyll index. The present study aimed to evaluate the use of Bacillus subtilis as a potentializer of pasture production in the cerrado.
