[QUOTE="Simon Chiles, post: 7784592, member: 1233"] Exactly. The whole point of this thread was to try and get some answers and tips from the experts. Personally I would be 100% convinced that in the right conditions these PGPR work and I could reduce my reliance on N. I would have much less confidence in my ability to manage them for my best advantage and would therefore be worried about whether they were going to work for me. I would therefore like to know whether anything else I applied to the crop would either increase or decrease their effectiveness. Here are a couple of questions I have:- Is there anything I could add to the soil to feed the bacteria and therefore increase their effectiveness? Does the type of Nitrogen I apply to the crop have any detrimental effect on the bacteria, I have a sneaking suspicion that Urea would be detrimental but obviously I don’t know definitively. Is any form of N better to use in conjunction with them? Is there anything that I might be likely to apply to my crop that would reduce their numbers? [/QUOTE]
