Maize is one of the most important crops worldwide and is strongly dependent on arbuscular mycorrhiza (AM) fungi, organisms that form a mutualistic association with land plants. In maize, AM symbiosis enhances spike dry weight, spike length, spike circumference, and the dry weight and dimensions of the grain. Notwithstanding its ubiquitous nature, the detailed relationship between AM fungal col...

to survey the effects of flooding during the reproductive growth stages of aerenchyma formation and ethylene production in soybean cultivar dpx experiment  the completely randomized factorial was in 2012 in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources. factors examined include nutrition levels in three levels (1 - inoculated with bacteria japonicumbradyrhizobium 2 - non-inoc...

Sublancin 168, as a distinct S-linked antimicrobial glycopeptide produced by Bacillus subtilis 168, is effective in killing specific microorganisms. However, the reported yield of sublancin 168 is at a low level of no more than 60 mg from 1 L fermentation culture of B. subtilis 168 by using the method in the literature. Thus optimization of fermentation condition for efficiently producing subla...

in order to study the consequences of the application of mycorrhiza and azospirillum inoculants on yield and yield components of wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the research station of shahid chamran university of ahvaz, iran in 2012-13. the experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. the treatments including of mycorrhiz...

to determine the effects of biofertilizers, nitrogen and azocompost on oil yield and essential oil content of dragonhead (dracocephalum moldavica l.), a field experiment was conducted as factorial in a randomized complete blocks design with 20 treatments and 3 replications. this study was performed at two locations during 2009-2010 on field in tarbiat modares university, and at the khoy agricul...

In Ethiopia livestock feed shortage and soil acidity are serious problems. recent years sweet lupins (white blue species) were introduced as multipurpose crops in the country. However, there is no information about their nodulation potential. This study was conducted to evaluate potential of these effect on nitrogen (N) phosphorous (P) content soil. Seven lupin varieties evaluated using factori...

in order to study the effects of seed-bacterial priming (inoculation) on germination and early growth of alfalfa under salinity stress conditions, an experiment was conducted at seed research laboratory and greenhouse of college of agriculture, university of tehran in karaj (iran) in 2011. the experiment was arranged as a factorial in completely randomized design (crd) with three replications. ...

application of biofertilizers, especially plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) is one of the most important strategies for plant nutrition compared to chemical fertilizers, especially in sustainable management of agroecosystems. in order to evaluate the effect of pesodomonas bacteria strains and chemical phosphate fertilizer on yield and yield components of wheat the kavir cultivar an ex...

Cowpea (Vigna unguiculata) is a major source of dietary protein and essential component of the cropping systems in semi-arid regions of Sub-Saharan Africa. However, yields are very low due to lack of improved cultivars, poor management practices, and limited inputs use. The objectives of this study were to assess the effects of rhizobia inoculant and P on nodulation, N accumulation and yield of...
