  • the level of reduction of fertiliser needed may be relative and plant dependent. For example, in clover based pasture, it may be possible to reduce the fertiliser required by at least 10%, or 20%, or 30%, or 40%, or 50% to achieve a similar response as that seen from urea application alone at a full dose.

  • the pasture legume growth may be at least 5%, or 10%, or 15%, or 20% greater than the ryegrass crop in experiments completed by the inventor.
  • This relative growth difference may have benefits because of the high feed value of white clover and the importance of root nodules of this plant in fixing atmospheric nitrogen so that more nitrogen is available for use by the plant itself and other pasture plants.

  • a greenhouse experiment was completed utilising the lysed composition with dissolved urea fertiliser to assess the effect of the method on white clover plants under simulated drought stress compared to a control and urea only application.
  • Plants were exposed to two water treatments and three fertiliser treatments in a 2 x 3 factorial, split plot design. Pots were arranged in five blocks, each subdivided into two subplots, containing either well- watered or drought treatments. The three fertiliser treatment pots in each subplot were re-randomised every week.

  • White clover was chosen for the trial as this plant is a major component of pasture systems in many countries providing nitrogen fixation and good feed quality for grazing animals.
  • a further reason for choosing white clover in comparison to grass is the more limited root system of clover which makes it more prone to drought stress than grasses.

  • Plants were grown in 8.5 L pots (5 seedlings per pot) and allowed to establish for 2 1 ⁇ 2 months.
  • the soil medium consisted of 75 % Wakanui silt loam, sourced from the Horticultural Research Area at Lincoln University and 25 % mortar sand (0.1-3 mm diameter).
  • the soil medium also contained 2 g/L Osmocote ExactTM, a 3-4 months slow-release fertiliser (N-P-K 16-5.0-9.2 + 1.8 mg trace elements + 1.8% Mg), as well as 1 g/L HydrafloTM wetting agent and 30 g/L gypsum to prevent excessive cracking of the soil under subsequent drought conditions.
  • Fertiliser treatments were supplied by leaf spray application at the beginning of the experiment, and three weeks later, before the onset of the drought treatment. Fertiliser levels were 0 (control), 20kg/ha urea and 20kg/ha urea plus the lysed composition. Soil water levels were determined gravimetrically. Plants in the well-watered treatment were irrigated daily to 2% below field capacity of the soil. In the drought treatment, plants were irrigated daily to 2% above permanent wilting point of the soil.

  • RWCa is the correction factor for dilution by apoplastic water. This is an estimated value and is thought to be approximately 0.1 for most plants in most situations
  • Results The statistical summaries of morphological and physiological observations (Table 4 below) consist of five columns. These columns list the traits investigated and provide information on the statistical significance of the treatment factors (drought, fertiliser and the interaction of drought and fertiliser). The fifth column in Table 4 shows the fertiliser effect, when it was dependent on water availability. The latter is based on the interaction LSD at P ⁇ 0.05 from ANOVA, which can still reveal significant fertiliser effects in dependence on water treatments, even though the overall drought x fertiliser interaction term may be non-significant (e.g. total leaf DM, Table 4) (Saville, 2003).
  • Leaf size was reduced in plants exposed to drought and was reduced significantly further by 6% with the application of urea alone (Figure 7). The 6% reduction was avoided in the U+ treatment. Leaf size is important for photosynthetic capacity of plants and greater leaf size is aligned with greater photosynthetic capacity and hence greater plant tolerance to stress.

Abstract

La présente invention décrit des procédés d'amélioration de la tolérance de plantes à divers stress/défis de croissance par l'application d'une composition bio-stimulante de végétaux comprenant un mélange de composants cellulaires lysés à partir d'au moins une souche de bactéries et/ou d'au moins une souche de levure, éventuellement diluée dans un support et appliquée à au moins une plante. Spécifiquement, la tolérance des plantes au stress abiotique, aux extrêmes de température et à la transplantation sont améliorés par l'application de la composition. Un avantage des procédés décrits est qu'ils utilisent une composition produite naturellement et qu'ils ne nécessitent pas d'utilisation de produits chimiques de synthèse. En outre, les procédés décrits évitent le besoin de variétés végétales sélectionnées présentant les traits de tolérance souhaités.
