in order to study the biological fixation efficiency of different strains of symbiosis bacteria in three varieties of common bean (phaseolus vulgaris l.) a factorial experiment based on randomized complete block design was conducted in zanjan province during 2006 and 2007. in this investigation three strains of rizobium including: rb117 (extracted from the zanjan soils), rb123 (extracted from t...

In recent years, the use of microbial inoculants has been increasing in Brazil, although the results have been conflicting. This study was conducted to evaluate the effects of adding a by-product from amino acid production or biological inoculants on fermentative characteristics, chemical composition and aerobic stability of corn silage. The treatments were: Control (control silage without addi...

Response to five different inoculation treatments has been determined in a three-year-old prairie area established at the Becker Sandplain Experiment Station in Fall 2004. Seed inoculation was generally ineffective, but overall legume numbers and biomass in the prairie restorations were enhanced by both soil-applied granular and cover-crop applied inoculants, with soils collected from the prair...

The study was conducted to investigate diverse carrier materials out of agricultural and environmental waste, that plays a role in maintaining the shelf life plant growth promoting microbes (PGPM) at room temperature for locally produced inoculants Malawi. Five different formulations divided into sterilized unsterilized were prepared, using namely; rice bran plus extract (RBP), biochar (BP), Fi...

The nutrient elements uptake in many of soils, is a problem because of high pH and plenty of calcium ions in them. Some of these elements are phosphorus and microelements. It is possible to increase absorption of these nutrient elements by addition of sulfur in soil and biological oxidation. The rate of this reaction is very slow and Thiobacillus bacteria are the most important oxidators of sul...

The endophytic actinobacterial population in the roots of wheat grown in three different soils obtained from the southeast part of South Australia was investigated by terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) analysis of the amplified 16S rRNA genes. A new, validated approach was applied to the TRFLP analysis in order to estimate, to the genus level, the actinobacterial populat...

OBJECTIVE Four lactic acid bacteria (LAB) strains isolated from common vetch, tall fescue and perennial ryegrass on the Tibetan Plateau were characterized, and their effects on the fermentation quality of Italian ryegrass (Lolium multiflorum Lam.) silage were studied. METHODS The four isolated strains and one commercial inoculant (G, Lactobacillus plantarum MTD-1) were evaluated using the aci...

Commercial cultivation of the mushroom fungus, Agaricus bisporus, utilizes a substrate consisting of a lower layer of compost and upper layer of peat. Typically, the two layers are seeded with individual mycelial inoculants representing a single genotype of A. bisporus. Studies aimed at examining the potential of this fungal species as a heterologous protein expression system have revealed unex...

Climbing bean (Phaseolus vulgaris L.) production in Kenya is greatly undermined by low soil fertility, especially in agriculturally prolific areas. The use of effective native rhizobia inoculants to promote nitrogen fixation could be beneficial in climbing bean production. In this study, we carried out greenhouse and field experiments to evaluate symbiotic efficiency, compare the effect of nati...

The persistence of inoculants from year to in soybean [Glycine max (L.) Merr.] cultivation and the residual benefits production are pertinent adopting such practices sub-Saharan Africa countries as Ghana. A study was conducted determine effect commercial rhizobium on selected soil health parameters after three cropping seasons. experimental design a split-plot. main plot consisted cultivars (Je...
