Bio-fertilizers are naturally occurring soil bacteria that aggressively colonize plant roots and benefit plants by providing growth promotion. This investigation was aimed at determining the effect of Nitroxin bio-fertilizer application on growth, inoculation and yield production of corn hybrids. An experiment was conducted as split plot on the basis of randomized complete block design with fou...

introduction: soil fertility management is a key factor in achieving sustainable agriculture. use of organic fertilizers is one of the methods that without environmental harmful effects with improvement of chemical and biological conditions increases soil fertility. nitroxin contains a collection of the best strains of nitrogen fixation bacteria of the genus azospirillum and azotobacter. these ...

Endophytic fungi, which live within host plant tissues without causing any visible symptom of infection, are important mutualists that mediate plant-herbivore interactions. Thrips tabaci (Lindeman) is one of the key pests of onion, Allium cepa L., an economically important agricultural crop cultivated worldwide. However, information on endophyte colonization of onions, and their impacts on the ...

The Effect of Inoculation Brant's Oak )Quercus brantii L.) Seed with Plant Growth-Promoting Bacteria on Some Physiological Traits Seedling under Different Levels Water-Deficit Stress

some research indicates that n2 fixation in soybean cannot provide adequate nitrogen for proper yield. therefore, the effect of nitrogen and bradyrhizobium japonicum bacteria on some agronomic characteristics and quality of soybean cultivars was examined based on split plot in a randomized complete blocks design with three replications in 2012 at kerman township. treatments including control (w...

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...

The response of pea (Pisum sativum) genotypes to ascochyta blight disease and the effect of disease severity on yield components were evaluated in a 4-year trial under field conditions. Peas were inoculated with Ascochyta pinodes, the anamorph of Mycosphaerella pinodes, or with Phoma pinodella separately and with a mixture of both species. Mean infection ratings of all inoculation treatments we...

Double inoculation of soybean with Bean pod mottle virus (BPMV), a member of the Genus Comovirus, Family Comoviridae, isolates V-S98-1 and V-S98-15, together with Soybean mosaic virus (SMV) a member of the Genus Potyvirus, Family Potyviridae) isolates 2K-38, S98-51 and S98-52, was compared to single inoculation with each of the isolates, on Hutcheson, Hutcheson Roundup Ready® (RR BC3) and Hutch...

In order to investigate the effect of seed inoculation with Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobactria (PGPR) on germination and some biochemical and physiological indices of Cumin (Cuminum cyminum L.) under salinity stress, an experiment was conducted. Experimental factors were included in seed priming in five levels (seed inoculation with three strains of Pf2, Pf25 and CHA0 of Pseudomonas fluorescen...
