TORRIENTE, Doris. APLICACIÓN DE BACTERIAS PROMOTORAS DEL CRECIMIENTO VEGETAL EN EL CULTIVO DE LA CAÑA DE AZÚCAR. PERSPECTIVAS DE SU USO EN CUB. cultrop [online]. 2010, vol.31, n.1, pp. 00-00. ISSN 0258-5936.

Sugarcane production in Cuba has undergone considerable damages from the financial and climatologic point of view; thus, it is necessary to establish sustainable production systems promoting to increase agricultural yields and protect the environment. Among these practices, the use of bio-fertilizers constitutes an alternative to improve current productions with the lowest environmental damage. In our country, the application of plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPB) to sugarcane has been studied since 1990´s; however, it has not been potentially used as a nutritional alternative of crop culture. This work was aimed to emphasize the significance of including PGPB as a bio-fertilizer to a sustainable sugarcane production, besides showing the most significant results and performing a prospect analysis of its use in sugarcane production.

Keywords : biofertilizers; plant growth substances; sugarcane; production; sustainability.
