to investigate the effect of on-farm seed priming and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different amounts of phosphate fertilizer on emergence, yield and yield components of a semi-mid maturity corn hybrid (es-sensor), an experiment was conducted at the research station of agriculture college, bu-ali sina university in 2012 in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications, ...

Introduction The purpose of a seed train is the generation of an adequate number of cells for the inoculation of a production bioreactor. This is timeand cost-intensive: From volumes used for cell thawing or cell line maintenance the cell number has to be increased. The cells are usually run through many cultivation systems which become larger with each passage (e.g. T-flasks, roller bottles or...

Symbiotic nitrogen fi xation has important role in sustainable soybean production because of utilization of atmospheric nitrogen for soybean nutrition. Pre-sowing soybean seed inoculation with selected rhizobial strains is used to improve the amount of symbiotically fi xed nitrogen. Besides strain selection, suitable inoculant formulation is important for the success of inoculant application. T...

this study was conducted to assess the effects of irrigation and plant growth promoting bactera on seed yield and qualitative characteristics of black cumin (nigella sativa l.) at the experimental station of the research institute of forest and rangeland, damavan region, iran. a split-plot experimental design, based on randomized complete block design (rcbd) with three replications, was used. i...

The influence of a supplementary bradyrhizobial inoculation after an initial seed slurry inoculation with the same strain on nodulation and N(2) fixation in soybeans was examined in the greenhouse. The plants were grown in a Typic Eutrocrepts soil: sand mixture containing 25, 65, or 83 mg of N per kg (i.e., native soil N plus N-labeled ammonium sulfate). Harvests were made at early flowering an...

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...
