“…In both the seasons, minimum data was recorded on all the studied parameters in T 11 (control). Similar effect was also observed by Aseri et al, (2008) in pomegranate, Patel et al, (2009) in sweet orange, Suresh and Ghosal (2013) in soyabean. The maximum organic carbon was noted in T 8 during first and second season of experiment which, at par with T 10 during both season of experiment.…”

“…However, the use of selected N 2 -fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alone or in combination have shown slight to moderate benefits in increasing crop productivity and a modest capability to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers (El-Sirafy et al, 2006;Aseri et al, 2008;Gupta and Aggarwal, 2008;Jahan et al, 2013;Ansari et al, 2015). The greater benefits to crop growth seem to occur when an inoculant containing N 2 -fixing bacteria and other beneficial microorganisms is mixed with organic substrates (Nuruzzaman et al, 2003;Kumar et al, 2007;Singh et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2014).…”

A B S T R A C TThe use of fertilizers with beneficial microorganisms has increased in recent years. In this study, the performance was assessed of two manures enriched with Azotobacter (BioF1 and BioF2), a non-enriched organic manure (Organ), an inorganic N fertilizer applied at a rate equivalent to the organic manures (MinR1) and applied at twice the rate (MinR2), and a control treatment. A field trial and a pot experiment were carried out both consisting of a sequence of three crops per year [lettuce (Lactuca sativa)-lettuce-turnip (Brassica rapa)] grown for two years. Above ground dry matter (DM) yield and N recovery were higher in the inorganic fertilized plots in comparison to the organic manured plots. Anion exchange membranes inserted into the soil in short periods during the growing seasons revealed higher soil nitrate levels in the inorganic fertilized treatments. Organic amendments improved performance over time, proving that their fertilizing effect, though modest in the shortterm, lasts longer. The biofertilizers containing Azotobacter (BioF1, BioF2) increased the bioavailability of N over Organ, by an additional N-fixing value of 11.4 kg ha −1 estimated from the six crops of the field experiment (∼5.7 kg N per year). If compared on the basis of the same amount of N recovered, organic amendments produced an average increase of 720 kg DM ha −1 over the inorganic fertilizer (∼120 kg per crop) due to a general manuring effect. From the results of these experiments, no beneficial effects on crop growth could be attributed to biofertilizers other than the slight increase in N fixation.

“…Pomegranate (Punica granatum L.) is an economically important commercial fruit plant species belonging to family Punicaceae (Aseri et al 2008). This plant is native from Iran to the Himalayas in northern India and has been cultivated and naturalized over the Mediterranean region and the Caucasus region of Asia since ancient times (Glozer and Ferguson 2008).…”

A pot experiment was conducted during a two-year period in order to evaluate and compare the salinity tolerance of 10 Iranian commercial cultivars of pomegranate. Pots were arranged in a split plot design with two factors included water salinity as main plot in 3 levels of 4, 7 and 10 dS/m and 10 pomegranate cultivars as sub-plot and 3 replications. The properties concerned during the experiment were vegetative growth, percentage of alive cuttings after 2 month and the necrosis and chlorosis of leaves. In the end of the experiment the vegetative yield and root dry weight were also measured. In addition, irrigation water, drainage water, soil in plots, root, stem and leaves were analyzed for elements such as Na + and Cl -. The obtained results indicated that the best vegetative growth conditions were related to Voshike -e-Saravan and Tab -o-Larz cultivars at 4 and 7 dS/m salinity levels, respectively. Moreover, the most significant percentage of alive cuttings was related to Voshike -e-Saravan cultivar at each of the three studied salinity levels. Similarly, this cultivar had the minimum values of leaves necrosis and chlorosis at all three levels of salinity. Furthermore, the highest level of fresh yield was related to Zagh cultivar at 4 dS/m salinity level. The highest values of total Na + and Cl -were observed in shoots and leaves of Zagh and Voshike -e-Saravan cultivars at 10 dS/m salinity level as well. In general, Voshike -e-Saravan is the most salinity-resistant cultivar among 10 studied cultivars. Besides, Malas -e-yazdi and Tab -o-larz can be planted as salinity resistant cultivars in the second hand. Other cultivar cuttings were not resistant in salinity and finally died (even after the second year) and three cultivars of Gabri, Malas -e-Esfahani and Khafri -e-Jahrom were the most sensitive cultivars with the lowest salinity resistance.
