Abstract
Crops in southeast Spain are mainly threatened by: a) low nutrient availability; b) the need to continuously add external inputs. Current crop management practices are not optimised to maximise the development of soil organisms. Therefore, the aim of this work was to study the effect of new products, based on plant growth-promoting microorganism formulations, on soil microbial populations and the yield and quality of a melon crop, in order to reduce the use of synthetic fertilisers and to promote the development of environmentally sustainable practices. In relation to the results obtained, it can be concluded that the combined use of mineral fertilisers and biofertilisers appears to be a promising approach for the reduction of synthetic fertilisers, laying the foundations for future research to evaluate the use of such microbial biofertilisers in different growing conditions, so that there can be an effective application in the agroecosystem
