Eggplant and pepper are horticulture crops with a worldwide distribution, dietary, and culinary importance. In developing countries, they are mainly cultivated under organic amendments as the organoponic system applied in Cuba. In the present research, the plant growth promoting strain B65 of Brevibacillussp. was applied as inoculant on eggplant and pepper crops cultivated in two organoponics that belong to the urban agriculture program of Santiago de Cuba. Influence of B65 inoculum on plants’ growth and crops’ yield was evaluated. Inoculation of the strain B65 significantly increased plants’ height, number of flowers, and number of fruits per plant as fruits size, weight, and yield. It also increased the root fresh matter. The beneficial effects of B65 under organic amendments could be related with its previously reported plant growth-promoting traits. The present research shows for the first time biostimulating and biofertilizing effects of Brevibacillussp. inoculation in horticulture crops and reveals that Brevibacillussp. strain B65 could be applied as part of sustainable agriculture strategies. |
