A field experiment was conducted during the winter (rabi) seasons of 2017–18 and 2018–19 at Rajasthan College Agriculture, Maharana Pratap University Agriculture Technology, Udaipur, Rajasthan, to find out best integrated nutrient management strategy in barley (Hordeum vulgare L.). The correlation regression were studied between yield attributes as influenced by these treatments. laid a randomi...

Area around the root zone i.e. rhizosphere is a rich environment for plant growth promoting bacteria (PGPR) which can be utilized in many way to improve the growth of crop and yield. In agriculture one of the limiting factors is providing plant nutrition particularly nitrogen and phosphorus to the crop. Different Plant-Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria (PGPR) such as Azospirillum, Azotobacter, Bac...

Extraction with pentane virtually abolished reduced nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide oxidase activity in small particles from Azotobacter vinelandii, but activity was largely restored by added ubiquinone.

In crude cell-free extracts of Azotobacter chroococcum, nitrogenase was much less sensitive to irreversible inactivation by O2 than was the purified enzyme. When nitrogenase was partially purified by anaerobic discontinuous sucrose-density-gradient centrifugation, O2-tolerance was retained. This preparation was considerably enriched in four polypeptides, three of which were derived from the Mo-...

A field experiment was conducted during 2018–19 and 2019–20 at the research farm of ICAR-Directorate Rapeseed-Mustard Research, Bharatpur, Rajasthan to evaluate effect organic inorganic nitrogen sources on yield, water productivity, system productivity economics maize (Zea mays L.)-mustard [Brassica juncea (L.) Czern.] cropping system. The in split-plot design with recommended levels fertilizer...

Vela, Gerard R. (School of Aerospace Medicine, Brooks Air Force Base, Tex.), and Orville Wyss. Radiation resistance of soil Azotobacter. J. Bacteriol. 89:1280-1285. 1965.-Quantitative recovery of Azotobacter from soils subjected to gamma-radiation from a cobalt-60 source showed the soil populations to be much more highly resistant than isolates from such cultures grown on laboratory media. Even...

It has been reported (Gunter, 1954) that Mg++ prolongs the viability of various microorganisms suspended in potassium phosphate buffer, and that celLs of Azotobacter are singularly affected by MgSO4. It was previously observed (Goucher and Kocholaty, 1954) that MgSO4 is required for the oxidation of several organic compounds by whole cells of Azotobacter agile. Data presented in this communicat...
