Phosphorus (P) unavailability and lack of organic matter in the soils under semiarid climates are the two major constraints for low crop productivity. Field trial was conducted to study the effects of P levels, compost application times and seed inoculation with phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) on the yield and yield components of maize (Zea mays L., cv. Azam). The experiment was conducted...

The effect of potash biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer was studied on quantitative and qualitative traits of periwinkle in a factorial experiment based on a Randomized Complete Design with three replications, 48 experimental units, and two factors: (1) different methods of potash bio-fertilizer application at four levels of control (B0), seed inoculation (B1), root inoculation (B2) and seed...

A field experiment was conducted during the kharif season of 2014 at Crop Research Farm, Department Agronomy, SHIATS, Allahabad, UP to evaluate influence different sources phosphorus on productivity and profitability Greengram. The in randomized block design with 9 treatments viz. Control (No Phosphorus, 100% P through SSP, URP, 50% SSP + 75% 25% PSB inoculation, URP inoculation. greengram vari...

Belowground interactions between plant roots, arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMFs), and growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) can improve growth yield under abiotic stress conditions. A pot factorial experiment based on completely randomized design with three replications was conducted to investigate the effects of AMFs (without inoculation as control, Funneliformis mosseae intraradices) PGPRs c...

Inoculation of legume seed is an efficient and convenient way of introducing effective rhizobia to soil and subsequently the rhizosphere of legumes. However, its full potential is yet to be realised. Following widespread crop failures, the manufacture of high quality inoculants revolutionised legume technology in Australia in the 1960s. Many improvements to inoculants and the advent of an inocu...

to evaluate the effects of some phosphorus solubilizing bacteria strains on yield and agronomic traits in local bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) of guilan, different phosphate fertilizer rates were tested during 2014 growing season. this research was carried out in experimental field of agricultural and natural resource research center of guilan province as split plot arrangement based on randomize...

in order to investigate the effects of seed inoculation with plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) on germination components and seedling growth of corn (zea mays l.), a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design with three replications was conducted at the seed technology laboratory of mohaghegh ardabili university, iran, during 2008. studied factors were: corn cultiv...
