It was previously reported that the hypernodulating soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) mutants, derived from the cultivar Williams, had higher root concentration of isoflavonoid compounds (daidzein, genistein, and coumestrol) than did Williams at 9 to 12 days after inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum. These compounds are known inducers of nod genes in B. japonicum and may be involved in sub...

A field study was carried out during the rainy (kharif) season of 2019 at Regional Research Station, Punjab Agricultural University, Ludhiana and Faridkot, Punjab, to effect phosphorus levels biofertilizers on symbiotic parameters, productivity, profitability soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.]. The experiment comprised 4 (0, 17, 26 35 kg P/ha) biofertilizer treatments [uninoculated control, Brady...

Effect of Seed Biofertilizers Inoculation on Photosynthesis Rate, Yield, and Competitiveness Ability Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) with Weeds

in this study, the antioxidant activity and protective effects of purslane seed water-methanolic extract (pswme) in stabilizing soybean oil (sbo) were tested. dpph radical scavenging activity of pswme at different concentrations varied significantly (p< 0.05), ranging from 15.41% to 79.06%. total phenolic content in pswme was 121.09 mg gallic acid equivalent (gae) kg-1 dw. the protective effect...

ABSTRACT: The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of different thermal treatments (20-100°C at five levels for 20 min) on rheological properties of basil seed (Ocimum basilicum) and balangu seed (Lallemantia royleana) gums. Power law model well described the non-Newtonian pseudoplastic behaviour of the seeds gums. The apparent viscosity of balangu seed gum was dramatically aff...

Black mold disease caused by Aspergillus niger V. Tiegh. is the most devastating infection occurs in onions (Allium cepa L.) under field and store conditions. The use of biocontrol agents is ecofriendly approach for controlling seedborne and soilborne diseases compared to the use of toxic synthetic fungicides. This study has been designed to assess the contamination levels of onion seeds with A...

The application of PGPB to agriculture is increasing as it offers an alternative to the use of chemical fertilizers, pesticides and other supplements. Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the world’s principal cereal crops, grown for grain, silage and biofuel. Nitrogen fertilizer constitutes one of the major costs in maize production, and PGPB poses a potential alternative for achieving more sustainab...

Seed endophyte inoculation can enhance the plant tolerance to pollutants, which allows cultivation on trace element (TE) polluted soils. Methylobacterium sp. CP3 and Kineococcus endophyticus CP19 were tested in vitro for their Zn Cd growth promotion traits. The vivo effects of bioaugmentation with individual strains or both using two poplar cultivars, Populus deltoides x (P. trichocarpa P. maxi...

Cotton seedlings grown in a greenhouse and a growth chamber were inoculated with Scutellonema brachyurum, Hoplolaimus columbus, and Meloidogyne incognita, singly and in all possible combinations, at two initial population (Pi) levels (100 and 300/100 cm(3)). S. brachyurum alone was not pathogenic to cotton at these population levels. It fed primarily as an ectoparasite but matured and reproduce...
