According to Statistics Canada, the cropping area for field pea (Pisum sativa) in Western Canada has increased from 25 000 ha in 1976 to 1 335 000 ha in 2001. As part of the production system, field peas require inoculation with Rhizobium leguminosarum bv. Viceae, particularly, when grown for the first time in rotation. Appropriate rhizobial inoculation and fertility management can increase fie...

to survey the effects of flooding during the reproductive growth stages of aerenchyma formation and ethylene production in soybean cultivar dpx experiment  the completely randomized factorial was in 2012 in gorgan university of agricultural sciences and natural resources. factors examined include nutrition levels in three levels (1 - inoculated with bacteria japonicumbradyrhizobium 2 - non-inoc...

Soybean has the potential to bring significant benefits in diversified cropping systems, which could help restructuring soil fertility and allow smallholders increase grain yield. Rhizobium inoculation improves biological nitrogen fixation (BNF) legume crops assists resource-poor farmers yield at lower financial costs. The efficacy of symbiotic bacteria on legumes can also be improved...

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. ...

Survival of Rhizobium trifolii on white clover seed before sowing is adversely affected by both drying and a water-soluble toxin which di f fuses f rom the seed coat dur ing the inocula t ion process . Survival of rhizobia is increased by removal of the toxin by seed washing or the suppress ion of i t s inhib i tory ef fec t by t rea tment of seed wi th phenol ic adsorbents . Surv iva l o f rh ...

A field study was undertaken during winter (rabi) season of 2013-2014 to explore the effect of graded levels of fertilizers and bio-fertilizers on yield of chickpea, protein content in chickpea seeds and nutrient uptake by the crop. Significantly higher seed and stover yields (1854, 2722 kg ha-1, respectively) were recorded with application of fertilizer @ 100% RDF (25:50:00, kg N:P:K ha-1). Re...
