Coffee plantations exist in over 70 countries and constitute the main economic activity of approximately 125 million people. Currently, there is global concern regarding the excessive use of agrochemicals and pesticides in agriculture, including coffee crops. This situation has motivated researchers, administrators, and farmers to seek ecologically friendly alternatives to decrease the use of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. In the last decades, multiple studies of the rhizosphere, at the chemical, physical and biological levels, have improved our understanding of the importance of beneficial microorganisms to plant health and growth. This review aims to summarize the state of the use of plant growth-promoting microorganisms (PGPM) in coffee production, where the most extensively studied microorganisms are beneficial plant growth-promoting rhizoba...

La rapida perdida de bosque lluviosos tropicales de montana con su extraordinaria riqueza en tres especies requiere de repoblacion por medio de plantaciones. A pesar del relevante numero de mas de 2.700 especies de arboles nativos descritas para Ecuador (Jфrgensen y Leon-Yanez 1999), las plantaciones todavia es un desafio (Stimm et al. 2008) y la introduccion de hongos micorrizicos arbusculares (HMA) en el substrato del vivero parece ser un paso importante para las especies de arboles dependientes de HMA (Allen et al, 2003, 2005).
