Bacterial composition and method for inoculation

Abstract

A bacterial composition for substrate inoculation to improve fertility of the substrate includes a predetermined concentration of at least one strain of autotrophic bacteria, wherein the autotrophic bacteria is characterised in having the ability to produce organic compounds in a predetermined substrate; and a predetermined concentration of at least one strain of mineral nutrient producing bacteria selected from a group including diazotrophic bacteria, potassium solubilizing bacteria and phosphate solubilizing bacteria, wherein the bacteria is characterised in having the ability to produce mineral nutrients in such predetermined substrate. The substrate inoculation of the autotrophic bacterial portion of the composition increases production of metabolizable forms of organic compounds, and inoculation of the mineral nutrient producing bacterial portion of the composition metabolizes the increased organic compounds for an increased production of metabolizable forms of mineral nutrients in the predetermined substrate.
