“…Control plots (non-fertilized and non-inoculated) had the lowest values of this trait (Figure 1). These results are in accordance with the works of Adgo and Schulze (2002), Saini et al (2004), Togay et al (2008), Appunu et al (2008) and Namvar et al (2011). Sogut (2006) stated that supremacy of symbiotic N versus combined N is explained as: symbiotic N is already in the organic reduced form and hence, more readily available for plant metabolism.…”

“…Therefore, in the development and implementation of sustainable agriculture techniques, biofertilization has great importance in alleviating environmental pollution and deterioration of nature (Werner and Newton, 2005;Chemining wa and Vessey, 2006;Albayrak, et al, 2006;Appunu, et al, 2008). As a legume, chickpea can obtain a significant portion (4-85%) of its N 2 requirement through symbiotic N 2 fixation when grown in association with effective and compatible Rhizobium strains (Saini, et al, 2004;Rudresh, et al, 2005). Chickpea and Rhizobium leguminosarum subsp.…”

The effects of seed inoculation with Rhizobium and inorganic nitrogen fertilization on some physiological and agronomical traits of chickpea (Cicer arietinum L.) cv. ILC 482, were investigated at the Experimental Farm of the Agriculture Faculty, University of Mohaghegh Ardabili. The trial was laid out in split plot design based on randomized complete block with four replications. Experimental factors were mineral nitrogen fertilizer at four levels (0, 50, 75 and 100 kg urea ha -1 ) in the main plots, and two levels of inoculation with Rhizobium bacteria (with and without inoculation) as sub plots. N application and Rh. inoculation showed positive effects on physiological and agronomical traits of chickpea. The highest value of leaf RWC was recorded at 50 kg urea ha -1 what was statistically in par with 75 kg urea ha -1 application, while the usage of 75 kg urea ha -1 showed the maximum stem RWC. The maximum CMS was obtained from application of 75 kg urea ha ) and Rh. inoculation. Application of 75 kg urea ha -1 was statistically in par with 100 kg urea ha -1 in all of these traits. The results pointed out that some N fertilization (i.e. between 50 and 75 kg urea ha -1 ) as starter can be beneficial to improve growth, development, physiological traits and total yield of inoculated chickpea.

“…Indeed, there is evidence for a positive correlation between nutrients levels in microbial biomass, especially active nitrogen (N), and soil nutrient availability (Carter and MacLeod 1987;Dalal and Mayer 1987;Jenkinson and Parry 1989;Smith 1993;Saini et al 2004). Nonetheless, increasing availability of soil nutrients may not have the intended effect of increasing the productivity of desirable species under the conditions where invasive species are present.…”

For successful grassland restoration, commercial soil inoculants are often recommended to increase establishment success. In spring 2009, a 0.94-ha tract was targeted for restoration at Phil Hardberger Park, a 126-ha park in the heart of San Antonio, Texas. Woody species, mainly Texas persimmon (Diospyros texana Scheele), and Ashe juniper (Juniperus asheii Buchholz), were removed and the area was divided into 10 subplots measuring 911 m 2 on average. In September 2009, over 40,000 plugs of seven native grass species were planted. In addition, native prairie seed mixes, including various grass and forb seeds, were sown into the site at a rate of 11.26 kg/ha. Half of the native grass plants were treated with a soil bacteria inoculant plus additional nutrients (IN) (BioGensis IIITM DS Tainio Technology and Technique Inc.), and half were left as controls (C). Soil samples from the plots were taken in February 2010 and 2011 and analyzed for soil nutrients, bacteria, protozoa, and fungi. Vegetation data were collected October 2010 and May and October 2011 to assess differences in percent cover between the treatments. The IN treatment resulted in significantly higher percent cover in the second growing season of three native grasses, Eriochloa sericea (Scheele) Munro ex Vasey, Bouteloua gracilis (Willd. ex Kunth) Lag. ex Griffiths, and B. curtipendula (Michx.) Torr; however, no significant differences were found between the IN and C plots for measures of overall native species abundance, soil resources, or the presence of soil microbes. We concluded that commercial soil inoculants may not have been necessary for the successful establishment of a native grassland community.

“…Inoculation of Azotobacter increased grain yield in maize upto 35% over the non inoculated treatment (Bandhu and Parbati, 2013). Therefore, in the development of sustainable agricultural use of Azotobacter as biofertilizer has great importance in improved of nutrient profile of plant and soil and increased crop yield accompanied by protection of environmental pollution and soil contamination (Saini et al, 2004;Namvar et al, 2012;Rana et al, 2012).…”

It is important to develop integrated crop production strategies that enhance the productive ability of crops in a sustainable manner for the developing nations worldwide. Intensive farming practice of high yielding crop production is mainly dependent on chemical inputs as fertilizer, pesticide and weedicides. However, excessive use of chemical inputs has negative impact on environment in the form of soil infertility, ground water contamination, imbalance of biological ecosystem and cost inputs. Soil health is an important aspect of productive sustainable agriculture and in recent years maintaining soil quality can reduce the problems of land degradation, decreasing soil fertility through use of advanced technologies in the field of biofertilizers. Biofertilizers can produce mineral nutrients through natural processes of biological nitrogen fixation, phosphate solubilization and also stimulation plant growth through the synthesis of plant growth promoting substances. Thus, in recent years biofertilizers have become an important component of integrated management for enhanced crop production. This paper reviews the facts and observations regarding an important biofertilizer microorganism Azotobacter chroococcum and its potential for crop production based.
