the effects of plant densities (25, 35 and 45 plants m-2 as d1, d2 and d3 respectively), and inoculation with rhizobium bacteria (without rhizobium, with rhizobium and rhizobium + microelement application), on growth and yield were studied in chickpea (cicer arietinum l.). experiment was carried out in 2008 at research farm of the faculty of agriculture of university of mohaghegh ardabil, a fac...

plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (pgpr) has been identified as an alternative to chemical fertilizer to increase soil fertility and crop production in sustainable agriculture. the objective of this study was to investigate the effects of single and co-inoculation of azospirillum and pseudomonas strains on plant growth and nutrient uptake of maize as a factorial experiment. treatments includ...

Brazil has 180 Mha of pastures, 86 occupied with Urochloa spp. (syn. Brachiaria), and 70% in some level degradation. Inoculation plant-growth-promoting bacteria (PGPR) may represent an economic environmental feasible strategy to improve pasture production. Two greenhouse seven field trials were performed verify the effects seed inoculation at sowing or leaf-spray established pastures elite stra...

in order to investigate the effect of different levels of biofertilizer inoculation and phosphorus chemical fertilizer on mineral elements absorption in forage corn sc. 540 under humidity regimes, an experiment was conducted as line source based on a randomized completele block design with three replications during two growing seasons of 2012 and 2013. the implementation of line source was appl...

in order to investigate the effects of mycorrhiza symbiosis and different nitrogen levels on yield, yield components and essential oil content and yield of fennel (foeniculum vulgare mill.) and ajowan (carum copticum l.), a field experiment was arranged in a factoriel based on a randomized complete block design with three replications at the agricultural research station, ferdowsi university of...

in order to evaluate effect of azotobacter chroococcum strains on yield, yield components and qualitative indices of winter rapeseed (brassica napus l.), an experiment was conducted during 2009-2010 growing season at research institute of rice in rasht. the experimental design was completely randomized block, with three replications. investigated treatments were including control (without seed ...

to investigate the effect of on-farm seed priming and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in different amounts of phosphate fertilizer on emergence, yield and yield components of a semi-mid maturity corn hybrid (es-sensor), an experiment was conducted at the research station of agriculture college, bu-ali sina university in 2012 in a factorial randomized complete block design with three replications, ...

Phalaris brachystachys is a common and troublesome weed in winter cereals in Mediterranean countries. A deterministic model was developed to simulate P. brachystachys seedbank dynamics in the wheat-sunflower rotation, a commonly practiced cropping system in southern Spain, under different herbicide-based management scenarios: no herbicide application, full herbicide dose (standard rate) and two...

introduction fertilizers are the key components which provide plant nutrients' needs in recent years (omid jangir & sing, 1996; kapoor et al., 2007). in many cases, using chemical fertilizers has different negative environmental effects such as soil, water and air pollution, which increase environmental hazardous and production costs (jangir & sing, 1996; kapoor et al., 2007). biological activi...
