Abstract
The use of biological fertilizer combined with microbes can be used instead of herbicides, pesticides and synthetic fertilizers. Silk and trehalose dry films can be used as seed coatings to localize and quantify delivery of plant microbes to mitigate plant stress and soil salinity. Similar microbes can be delivered using the same technology.
