Abstract
This study evaluated the efficiency of commercial and laboratory-isolated microorganisms in organic matter degradation and their impact on the growth of Phaseolus vulgaris (common bean). The research was conducted in Boca Parita, Monagrillo, and Chitré, in the Herrera province, Panama. Trichoderma sp., Rhizobium sp., and mycorrhizae were isolated from local soil and applied as biological treatments in P. vulgaris seedbeds. Significant differences were found among treatments, with the mixture of microorganisms being the most effective in promoting plant growth, followed by Rhizobium sp. and mycorrhizae. Trichoderma sp. showed the least effectiveness. Both the mixture of microorganisms and Rhizobium sp. and mycorrhizae demonstrated a great capacity to increase crop foliage. Treatment with the mixture of microorganisms also resulted in the highest fresh weight of plants, suggesting better water retention in plant tissues. These results highlight the potential of microbial biofertilizers to improve the growth and development of P. vulgaris, offering a sustainable alternative to chemical fertilizers in agriculture.
