Four types of utilization of nitrate nitrogen were observed with fourteen strains of the azotobacter. These were: (a) Those which utilize NO;-N with no or only a short lag; three strains of Azotobacter winelandii, a stock culture of A. chroococcum C-77, and seven strains of A. chrmoccum freshly isolated from soil were in this group; (b) A single strain, a stock culture of A. chroococcum C-44, w...

in order to study of effects of integrated biological and chemical  fertilizers on  fertilizer use efficiency, grain yield and related traits to  grain growth of barley (hordeum vulgaris l.), a factorial experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with three replications in research farm of the faculty of agriculture sciences, university of mohaghegh ardabili in 2012. tre...

During the rabi season of 2021, a field experiment was conducted in North Western plains Uttarakhand at Crop Research Centre, School Agriculture, Uttaranchal University, Dehradun to examine impact integrated nutrient management (INM) on lentil growth, yield, and economics (Lens culinaris Medik.). The laid Randomized Block Design with seven treatments i.e. T1 (Control, 100% RDF (Recommended Dose...

In order to evaluate the effects of inoculants and chemical fertilizer on quantitative and qualitative yield, a bread wheat cultivar treated with Azotobacter, arbuscular mycorrhiza fungi (AMF) and nitrogen sources by using split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with three replications in Fars Agricultural Research Station during 2007-2008. Main plots consisted of nitrogen f...

Biological fertilizers are compounds comprising various free living microorganisms that are able to change the basic nutrients into available form through biological procedures. Being an important source of nutrients in sustainable agriculture, these fertilizers lead to better seed germination and development of root system. In order to investigate the effect of biological fertilizers on the me...

Quantitative N,N,N',N'-tetramethyl-p-phenylenediamine (TMPD) oxidase and superoxide dismutase (SOD) analyses were performed on representative organisms of the family Azotobacteraceae. Azotobacter vinelandii, Azotobacter chroococcum, Azotobacter paspali, and Derxia gummosa exhibited high quantitative TMPD oxidase activities, and their extracts possessed very active and electrophoretically homoge...

One of the problems in the production of microbial preparations for agriculture is the maintenance of bacterial viability. One of the methods of improving the viability is an immobilization in the carrier material. Immobilization of plant growth-promoting bacteria Streptomyces griseoviridis and Azotobacter sp. in the peat and experimental ceramic granules was studied. Bacterial viability in ste...

Aerobic and microaerobic diazotrophs possess numerous oxygen restriction strategies to protect nitrogenase from inactivation by oxygen without interfering with energy generation through oxidative phosphorylation. Protection by conformational change in nitrogenase was first detected and described in Azotobacter. This strategy once considerd unique for Azotobacter has been shown in this study to ...

This study was carried out at the forest nursery of Department of Forestry, Faculty of Agriculture and Regional Research Station, Wadura SKUAST-K, Sopore, Kashmir during 2006 and 2007 to examine the role of live biofertilizers in litter decomposition and nutrient release in Salix fragilis under natural Salix stands. The experiment was laid in completely randomised design with three replications...

In order to evaluate the Effects of dual inoculation of Azotobacter and Mycorrhiza with Nitrogen and Phosphorus levels on yield and yield components of spring safflower, this study was carried out in field of Farahan university in Markazi province in 2007. A factorial in a randomized complete block design with three replications was used inoculation of Azotobacter (with inoculation and without ...
