Abstract
Bioformulations are biologically active products containing one or more beneficial microbial strains, commonly used to increase plant growth, soil fertility and suppression of phytopathogens. Many reports support that the use of a combination of beneficial microorganisms has additive or synergistic effects on plant growth and yield. However, the addition of microbial- or plant-produced secondary metabolites to bioformulations may increase agricultural productivity, improving the performance of the inoculation. This chapter focuses on the use of some secondary metabolites (flavonoids, lipochitooligosaccharides, phytohormones, etc.) in bioformulations, focusing mainly on formulations that improve leguminous crop yields. The information supports that the addition of these molecules may contribute to the sustainable development of new agronomic products.
