nowadays, protection of environment and safe agricultural production are an important aims of the sustainable agriculture. also, in attention to abundance of saline soil and water resources in the country, the present research was designed to evaluate pgpr inoculation effect on some morphological and physiological traits of two green bean plant cultivars under salinity stress conditions. a gree...

Restoration and maintenance of soil fertility is a basic but critical ecological problem especially in the tropics where the soils are nutrient deficient particularly P and N. The degraded soils are reclaimed through afforestation programmes with multifarious forest legume tree species along with beneficial microbes. Acacia nilotica, commonly known as Indian Gum-Arabic Tree and locally „Babul‟ ...

Chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) is the world’s third most vital food legume after beans and peas in production level. Yet, its productivity last decade has been declined, it contended that usual native soil rhizobial populations are insufficient/ineffective N2-fixation. Rhizobium inoculation of seed may substitute costly N-fertilizers provide a useful way achieving sustainable production. Hence, ...

Various strategic efforts to increase food production continue be made in an effort achieve self-sufficiency and security. Soybean is a national commodity support government programs with the aim of achieving self-sufficiency. The purpose this study was determine effect combination phosphate fertilizer rhizobium biofertilizer on growth soybean (Glycine max L) Grobogan variety. research conducte...

Wheat yields in organic production are significantly lower than those achieved conventional farming systems and Northern Europe farmers also struggle to achieve the processing quality levels demanded by millers bakers, especially winter-wheat crops. Here, we report findings of a 3-year pilot study which investigated potential increasing grain both standard (e.g., protein specific weights) selec...

In order to study the response of concentration and composition of essential oil of coriander (Coriandrum sativum) to cattle manure and nitrogen fixing bacteria, an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with twelve treatments and three replications at homand research station in Damavand of Iran in 2010. The factors were cattle...

Infection of alfalfa with Rhizobium meliloti exo mutants deficient in exopolysaccharide results in abnormal root nodules that are devoid of bacteria and fail to fix nitrogen. Here we report further characterization of these abnormal nodules. Tightly curled root hairs or shepherd's crooks were found after inoculation with Rm 1021-derived exo mutants, but curling was delayed compared with wild-ty...
