چکیده

Mineral oil, peanut oil and soybean oil were compared with water and gum arabic for their suitability as adhesives for seed inoculation with peat inoculants. Inoculated seeds were stored at 4, 28 and 34°C, and sampled after 1, 3 and 9 days to determine the survival of rhizobia. Germination and nodulation tests were performed on the inoculated seeds. Results showed that oils were suitable adhesives for peat inoculants. Although the oils initially bound less inoculant to the seed, the number of surviving rhizobia was similar to that obtained by the gum arabic treatment after storage at 28 and 34°C for 3 and 9 days. An interesting finding of this experiment was that peanut and soybean oils were superior to gum arabic in supporting significantly higher numbers of chickpea rhizobia at 34°C. Inoculated seeds tested for germination and nodulation showed no adverse effects from the oil treatments. Oils hold good potential as adhesives for seed application in inoculation technology.

Survival of several Rhizobium/Bradyrhizobium strains on different inoculant formulations and inoculated seeds.

The effect of a variety factors on the survival of several rhizobia strains on inoculants and inoculated seeds has been evaluated. Since the rhizobia strains showed different cell-density-evolution patterns on peat-based inoculants and on inoculated seeds, several inoculant formulations with highly effective Rhizobium/Bradyrhizobium strains (for Lupinus, Hedysarum, Phaseolus and Glycine max.) w...

Influence of Air SO2 Pollution on Antioxidant Systems of Alfalfa Inoculated with Rhizobium.

Air pollution is the most important environmental problem of last century that threatens the health of living organisms, especially plants. SO2 is one of the main air pollutants that can cause to imbalance in growth and physiological function of plant in high concentrations. Symbiosis of Rhizobium bacteria with alfalfa can cause increasing plant growth and plant resistance to abiotic stresses. ...

Cephahbus parvus as a carrier of Rhizobium japonicum in field experiment on soybean cultures

Two methods of soybean seeds inoculation by Rhizobium japonicum have been compared in a field experiment : i) traditional use of inoculated turf embedding the seeds; ii) use of Cephalobus parvus as bacterial carrier (3 O00 and 300 O00 nematodes per linear meter). There is no difference in yield between the inoculation methods in spite of a greater number of bacterial germs provided by nematode ...
