to evaluate the effect of growth promoting bacteria on morphophysiologic traits and nutrient uptakes of two rice cultivars, an experiment was carried out in 2009-2010 cropping season in rice researches institute of rasht. the experiment design consisted of four randomized complete blocks in a factorial arrangement having 16 treatments in 4 replications. in this research, two factors were evalua...

Fusarium head blight (FHB; scab) caused mainly by Fusarium graminearum is a devastating disease of wheat and barley around the world. FHB causes yield reductions and contamination of grain with trichothecene mycotoxins such as deoxynivalenol (DON) which are a major health concern for humans and animals. The objective of this research was to develop an easy seed or seedling inoculation assay, an...

Effect of Seed Biofertilizers Inoculation on Photosynthesis Rate, Yield, and Competitiveness Ability Quinoa (Chenopodium quinoa Willd.) with Weeds

The cultivation of soybean in Brazil experienced an expressive growth in the last decades. Soybean is highly demanding on nitrogen (N) that must come from fertilizers or from biological fixation. The N supply to the soybean crop in Brazil relies on the inoculation with elite strains of Bradyrhizobium japonicum, B. elkanii, and B. diazoefficiens, which are able to fulfill the crop's N requiremen...

to study the effects of different levels of seed ageing and bacteria inoculation on yield of common bean at field conditions, an experiment was carried out as factorial arranged in rcbd design with three replications at research farm of university of tehran (karaj-iran) in 2012. treatments consisted of four levels of seed ageing (0 (control), 3, 6 and 9 days at 41°c and 90-100% relative humidit...

EXAMINATION OF NONSTERILE Preparation of Test Strains PRODUCTS: MICROBIAL Use standardized stable suspensions of test strains or prepare as stated below. Seed-lot culture maintenance techENUMERATION TESTS niques (seed-lot systems) are used so that the viable microorganisms used for inoculation are not more than five passages removed from the original master seed-lot. Grow each of the bacterial ...

Wild Cardon cactus seeds were inoculated with Azospirillum brasilense strains Cd and Sp-245 to improve seed germination and seedling growth parameters. Differential germination responses were related to the bacterial strain. A. brasilense Cd (the type strain for the species A. brasilense) significantly decreased seed germination. A. brasilense Sp245 (a known beneficial bacteria for cereal plant...
