Previous research from this laboratory has demonstrated CO(2)-fixing and H(2)-uptake capacities of certain strains of Rhizobium japonicum. In this report we have shown that SR, a H(2)-uptake-positive (Hup(+)) strain of R. japonicum, is capable of autotrophic growth with H(2) as the energy source. Growth occurred on mineral salts/vitamins/Noble agar, mineral salts/vitamins liquid medium (0.27 mu...

The objective was to evaluate the inoculation, co-inoculation with bacteria B. japonicum and A. brasilense in combination application of N doses on agronomic characteristics soybean. design used randomized blocks a 4x4 factorial scheme, four types inoculation (absence bacteria, brasilense) (0 % = 0; 2 4.5; 4 9 8 18 kg ha-1), replications. increasing above 2% promoted reduction number nodules fo...

In order to investigate the effect of rhizobium bacteria, mycorrhiza fungi and foliar application of urea on qualitative and quantitative traits of soybean an experiment was conducted based on randomized complete block design with four replications. The experiment included six treatments as: Control (C), Rhizobium bacteria (R), Rhizobium bacteria + Mycorrhiza fungi (R+M), Rhizobium bacteria + F...

in order to evaluate the effects of biofertilizer on soybean (glycine max l.) seed vigor that produced under water deficit condition and related traits, an experiment was conducted in a factorial layout based of complete randomized block design with four replications at the research greenhouse of aboureihan campus- tehran university, iran. experimental treatments were include biofertilizer (see...

Soybean (Glycine max [L.] Merr.) is an economically important oilseed crop with annual increase in growing grain demand. a moderately salt-tolerant crop; however, salt stress conditions can affect its growth and yield-related traits and, eventually, reduce productivity. In saline soils, one of the techniques to soybean productivity use rhizobia inoculation. Although, using industrial rhizobia-b...

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...
