SANCHEZ LOPEZ, Diana Beatriz et al. Microbial inoculants incorporated in Ipomoea batatas L. crop in the Sinú Valley. Rev. colomb. biotecnol [online]. 2020, vol.22, n.1, pp.79-86. ISSN 0123-3475.  https://doi.org/10.15446/rev.colomb.biote.v22n1.69716.

Sweet potatoes (Ipomoea batatas L.) are grown worldwide as a source of carbohydrates, and their commercial production requires a high contribution of chemical fertilizers, which increases production costs. Microbial inoculants are used as an alternative source of plant nutrition.

The objective of this research was to evaluate the effect of Pseudomonas denitrificans IBVS2 and Azotobacter vinelandii IBVS13 with different levels of nitrogen chemical fertilization in the sweet potato crop in the microregion of the Sinú Valley in the Colombian Caribbean.

A completely randomized design was used for the experiment development, eight treatments was evaluated and three repetitions were carried out. In vitro hardened seedlings was used as a plant material. The results showed that the Azotobacter vinelandii IBVS1 3 strain with 75% nitrogen fertilization (FM) improved the accumulation capacity of dry matter in sweet potato roots, generating increases of 6.65 t / ha compared to the chemical control and 3.18 t / ha in relation to the absolute control, guaranteeing an increase in yield. The crude protein content was increased in 13.93% when inoculating the plants with this strain. In the same way, with the inoculation of strain Pseudomonas denitrificans IBVS2 + 50% nitrogen fertilization the crude fiber variable was increased in 31.75% compared to the absolute control, contributing effectively as a microbial biostimulant in agriculture.
