biochemistry came to enrich and crop productivity increased (Antonius et al.
2015a, b).
Currently, Beyonic-LIPI has been adopted by several stakeholders to support the
development of sustainable agriculture of local government, and it could increase the
agricultural production obviously. The yield of various agricultural products, such as
rice, watermelon, chili, cabbage, corn, increased by about 20–30%.
9.6 Conclusion
Agriculture land and peatland have been carrying the burden of sustaining mankind
on planet earth. Indiscriminate exploitation of resources of this environment not only
has limited productivity but also harmed the environment. Therefore, human beings
should look for environmental management alternatives for fulfilling conservation
needs. PGPR has a significant role in various pathways, directly and indirectly to
help the plant survive, enhance plant growth, and increase productivity. Application
of modern tools and techniques for selection, characterization, and enhancement of
PGPR activities can serve as a key in managing peatland under high GWL. Formulation of inoculants and high nutritious fermentation broth is important to obtain high
cell density and metabolites as a component of LOB-Beyonic-StarTmik LIPI
(LOB-BS). Increasing yield about 15 to 25% by applying LOB and reducing
about 50% inorganic fertilizer dose of various crops can be achieved. Dissemination
of composting and LOB technology could help people to understand and be aware to
apply peatland surface management of high GWL, called as AeroHydro Culture.
Further studies on multidisciplinary research that are combined with microbiology,
agro-biotechnology, plant nutrition, and physiology should be conducted because
ecological, functional, biological processes in living soils are extremely complex and
mutual.
