Livestock waste composts with minimum inorganic fertilizer as a soil amendment in low-input intensive farming are a feasible agricultural practice to improve soil fertility and productivity and to mitigate soil degradation. The key benefits of the practice rely on the activities of soil microorganisms. However, the role of different livestock composts [composted cattle manure (CCM) vs. composte...

Plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB) of the genus Azospirillum are known to enhance the growth of numerous agricultural crops. We are proposing the use of these bacteria as “microalgae-growth promoting bacteria” (MGPB) to enhance the cleaning capacity of polluted water by the freshwater microalgae Chlorella vulgaris and C. sorokiniana. Deliberate inoculation of Chlorella sp. with a terrestria...

Nursery experiments were conducted to select the suitable biofertilizers combination attain quality seedlings of Neem. The such as Azospirillum, Paenibacillus and AM fungus (Glomus fasciculatum) inoculated by separately various combinations with each other at time seed sowing. Shoot length, root collar diameter, shoot dry weight recorded on 80 days after treatment. Results showed that total len...

the main objective of this study was to determine the effects of biofertilizers on quantity and quality of essential oil of basil essential oil content, geranial, caryophyllene, caryophyllene oxide and methyl chavicol in essential oil. the experiment was carried out as randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran ...

in order to study the influence of compost and biofertilizer on yield and essential oil of dill (anethum graveolens l.), an experiment was conducted as factorial experiment in the base of randomized complete blocks design with eight treatments and three replications at research field of agriculture company of ran in firouzkuh of iran in 2012. the factors were compost in four levels (0, 5, 10 an...

The activity of a truncated form of Herbaspirillum seropedicae NifA in different genetic backgrounds showed that its regulatory domain is involved in nitrogen control but not in O2 sensitivity or Fe dependence. The model for nitrogen control involving PII could thus apply to the proteobacteria at large. NifA may have a role in controlling ADP-ribosylation of nitrogenase in Azospirillum brasilense.

The main objective of this study was to determine the effects of Nitrogen fixing bacteria and manure application on the seed yield and yield components in black cumin (Nigella sativa L.). The experiment was carried out at the RAN Research Station in Firouzkouh in 2012. A 4×4 factorial experiment, arranged in a randomized complete blocks designed with three replications. The treatments ...
