Symbiotic nitrogen fi xation has important role in sustainable soybean production because of utilization of atmospheric nitrogen for soybean nutrition. Pre-sowing soybean seed inoculation with selected rhizobial strains is used to improve the amount of symbiotically fi xed nitrogen. Besides strain selection, suitable inoculant formulation is important for the success of inoculant application. T...

Microbiol. 38:493-500. Understanding the impact of environmental variables on interstrain competition is important to ensure the successful use of rhizobial inoculant.

The reestablishment of autochthonous shrubs species is an essential strategy for recovering degraded soils under semiarid Mediterranean areas. A field experiment was carried out to assess the effectiveness of an immobilized microbial inoculant (Azospirillum brasilense and Pantoea dispersa) and the addition of organic olive residue (alperujo), for plant growth promotion of Cistus albidus L. and ...

This study was aimed to determine the effects of different levels fresh whey and Lactobacillus buchneri inoculation on nutrient properties aerobic stability alfalfa silage. Experiment conducted with 8 treatments 3 replicates for 90 days. Treatments included wilted (control), + bacterial inoculant (AB), +30 g whey/kg (AW1), 30 (AW1B), 60 per kg (AW2), (AW2B), (AW3) (AW3B). Results showed that, p...

In this paper, the influence of cut at two maturity stages (the beginning flowering stage and mid bloom bacterial inoculant ?Silko za lucerku? (contains Lactobacillus plantarum Pediococcus spp.) on quality red clover silage were presented. The commercial cultivar Nada selected Bc Institute in Zagreb was used for investigation. examined mini-silos (glass jars 1.5 l volume with plastic fermentati...

Diverse rhizobia able to nodulate Biserrula pelecinus evolved following in situ transfer of nodA and nifH from an inoculant to soil bacteria. Transfer of these chromosomal genes and the presence of an identical integrase gene adjacent to a Phe tRNA gene in both the inoculant and recipients indicate that there was lateral transfer of a symbiosis island.
