the effect of seed inoculation by phosphate solubilizing microorganisms on growth, yield and nutrient uptake of maize (zea mays l. sc. 704) was studied in a field experiment. this experiment was conducted in meshkin abad experimental station during 2005. the experiment design consisted of four randomized complete blocks in a split-factorial arrangement. the main-plots regarding simulating water...

Sustainable plant production with the integration of eco-friendly agricultural practices, low chemical inputs, minimal deleterious effects on human health and cost methods, is need moment. In this direction, scientific/industrial community, continuously exploring novel reliable methods. Plant growth promoting microbes are proving more promising to achieve sustainable outcomes. present study, in...

Overuse of different chemical fertilizers is one of the causes for the degradation of environment and soil. Biological fertilizers are the newest and most technically advanced way of supplying mineral nutrients to crops. Compared to chemical fertilizers, their supply nutrient for plant needs, minimizes leaching, and therefore improves fertilizer use efficiency. Vermicompost is an organic compou...

Various biological amendments, including commercial biocontrol agents, microbial inoculants, mycorrhizae, and an aerobic compost tea (ACT), were evaluated, alone and in conjunction with different crop rotations, for their efficacy in introducing beneficial microorganisms, affecting soil microbial community characteristics (SMCC), and reducing soilborne diseases of potato in greenhouse and field...

The effect of seed inoculation by phosphate solubilizing microorganisms and different levels of phosphorus chemical fertilizer on yield and yield components of barley (Karoon x Kavir cultivar) was studied in Experimental Farm of College of Agronomy and Animal Sciences, University of Tehran during 2006-2007 growing seasons. The experimental treatments were arranged in split plot factorial based ...

Straw mulching is an effective measure to improve soil properties, crop growth, and yield. To further understand the advantage mechanisms of straw mulching, a field experiment with seven straw mulching levels (0 to 18 000 kg ha-1) was conducted to study the effects of straw mulching on maize (Zea mays L.) photosynthesis and rhizosphere soil microecological environment. Results showed that maize...

Phosphorus (P) is one of the least available mineral nutrients to the plants in many cropping environments. Sub-optimal P nutrition can lead to yield losses in the range of 10% to 15% of the maximal yields. P deficiency is more critical in highly withered soils as well as in calcareous and alkaline soils. Amelioration attempts by addition of phosphatic fertilizers are economically and ecologica...

Crop production encounters challenges due to the dearth of nitrogen (N) and phosphorus (P), while excessive use chemical fertilizers causes environmental hazards. Use rhizobium phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) can be a sustainable strategy overcome these problems. Hence, pot experiment was conducted following completely randomized design explore impact fixing PSB on growth, yield, quality ...
