Inoculation of forage and grain legumes with rhizobia is an important process to maximize biological N2 fixation capacity in these crops. Inoculation has the potential of increasing dry matter yield, N yield, and residual N levels. However, yield responses to inoculation are not universal in the region. In fields that have previously grown the same grain legume crop (i.e. contain an endemic rhi...

to evaluate the effects of phosphate solubilizing bacteria and chemical phosphorous fertilizer on turnip (brassica rapa) forage yield under limited irrigation regimes, a field experiment was conducted in research farm of college of agriculture and natural resources, university of tehran, in karaj/iran during 2009 growing season. the experimental treatments were arranged as split plots. five lev...

The aim of a two-factorial field experiment was to determine how the inoculation seeds/soil with preparations Bradyrhizobium sp. Lupinus (Nitragina—seed inoculation, Nitroflora I—seed II—soil HiStick® Lupin—seed inoculation) affected plant development, seed chemical composition and yield two yellow lupin varieties (Bursztyn, Puma). This carried out four replications in 2018 2019 Poland. Precipi...

Aflatoxin assays and moisture determinations were made on locks from bolls inoculated with Aspergillus flavus 30-32 days from flower and harvested after additional periods of 5, 7, 9, 11, 13 and 15 days. Inoculated locks were always tight but had moisture contents comparable to those in noninoculated locks on the same bolls. Lowest toxin concentrations were in seeds from bolls still green at ha...

plant growth promoting rhizobacteria has been identified as an alternative to chemical fertilizer to enhance plant growth and yield directly and indirectly. use of rhizosphere free living bacteria is one of the methods for crop production and leads to improvement of resources absorption. in order to study of yield, yield components and radiation use efficiency, under application of pgpr conditi...

Seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) is an ideal tool to supply the soil with a high density of beneficial microorganisms. However, maintaining viable microorganisms is a major problem during seed treatment and storage. In this work, an evaluation was made of the effect of bacterial immobilization in nanofibers on the stability (viability and maintenance of benefici...

Lentil plays a major role in the food and nutritional security of low income Ethiopian families because of the high protein content of their seed; however, their productivity typically is low largely due to soil fertility limitations. Field and pot experiments were conducted during the 2011 cropping season to determine the effectiveness of Rhizobium strains on two cultivars of lentil in Souther...
