Rationale
Microorganisms are a very important biological resource that can be harnessed for various processes, including agricultural production to improve growth and yield of crops. There are strains that are involved in biological nitrogen fixation, phosphorus solubilization, composting, breakdown of harmful compounds, and predators of pests, among others, that are very important for sustainable agriculture. A number of microbial biofertilizers and biological control agents are now available in some countries. It is very important that these microbial resources be properly preserved for long-term use. Improper handling may lead to loss of viability and genetic stability which will lead to loss of inoculum potential. Proper management of a growing Culture Collection is important to maintain high quality cultures. This training-workshop aims to increase the capability of participants in the proper handling, long-term preservation and quality control of microorganisms to be able to maintain high quality inoculants which will help ensure their effectiveness in the field. Vigorous activities along this line will lead to increased awareness and appreciation on the benefits of high quality microbe-based fertilizers and bio-control products. On the other hand, the importance of a properly maintained culture collection will ensure the availability of the desired microorganisms for future use. This will redound to more and dynamic utilization of beneficial microorganisms for an environmentally safe, organically-based agricultural production system. On a global scale, more number of people will benefit from microbe-based biotechnology products.
