Inoculation of leguminous seeds with bioinoculants has been practiced in agriculture for decades to ameliorate grain yield by enhanced growth parameters and soil fertility. However, effective enhancement of plant growth parameters results not only from the direct effects these bioinoculants impose on them but also from their non-target effects. The ability of bioinoculants to reduce the applica...

The yield, nutrient uptake and cost efficacy of Chlorophytum. borivillianum were studied using dual inoculation with AM fungi (Glomus fasciculatum) and Azotobacter chroococcum. The experiment was conducted for two consecutive years with two levels of chemical fertilizers as F1(N-P-K : 24-24-32 kg ha) and F2 (N-P-K : 30-30-40 kg ha). Inoculation of bioinoculants encouraged results; the fresh tub...

Fungicides seed dressing provides benefits by preventing fungal infection, conversely, damage the non-target organisms including plant and its symbiotic bacteria. In this study, the effect of two fungicides, carbendazim and thiophanate methyl, was assessed on the growth of pea and its symbiotic bacteria, Rhizobium leguminosarum. In vitro studies revealed that recommended concentration of fungic...

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Phosphorus is one of the low bioavailable macroelements. Use of microorganisms in biofertilizers could release phosphorus from insoluble compounds. Pseudomonas putida P13 and Pantoea agglomerans P5 are well recognized for application as phosphate solubilizing bioinoculants and are used as solid carrier based. Liquid bioinoculants are preferred for economizing productio...

Rhizosphere is a wealthy location of microbes, ecological niche and should be explored for potential plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR), which developing as bioinoculants for interact with plant roots and enhancement of yield of crop plants. There are several plant growth promoting rhizobacterial (PGPR) inoculants that seems to promote plant growth through different mechanism such as I...

The compatibility of strains is crucial for formulating bioinoculants that promote plant growth. We herein assessed the compatibility of four potential bioinoculants isolated from potato roots and tubers (Sphingomonas sp. T168, Streptomyces sp. R170, Streptomyces sp. R181, and Methylibium sp. R182) that were co-inoculated in order to improve plant growth. We screened these strains using biochem...

Under field conditions, inoculated rhizobial strains are at a survival disadvantage as compared to indigenous strains. In order to out-compete native rhizobia it is not only important to develop strong nodulation efficiency but also increase their competence in the soil and rhizosphere. Competitive survival of the inoculated strain may be improved by employing strain selection and by genetic en...
