“…The dual inoculation of legumes with a symbiotic diazotroph (bacteria of the genera Rhizobium, Bradyrhizobium and Azorhizobium) and AM fungi typically stimulates plant growth and the colonization of roots by AM fungi (14,90 (107). They found improved nitrogen and phosphorus accumulation in plants due to the interaction between G. mosseae and Rhizobium, but saw no effect of any inoculated bacteria (two Rhizobium strains or Enterobacter sp.)…”

Abstract:futeractions between arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungi and other soil microorganisms (including bacteria, saprophytic microfungi, actinomycetes and some microarthropods) are described as well as the phenomena of the rhizosphere, mycorrhizosphere and mycosphere. Examples are given of how the growth of AM fungi and the formation of mycorrhizas are affected by the other soil organisms. All of these co-occuring positive and negative influences upon the interaction between AM fungi and plant roots are shown to underscore the complexity of the soil environment and difficulty in reaching general conclusions.

“…plant height, LAI, root noduiation, and dry matter (Tables 1 to 4), was more pronounced with their combined inoculation. The improvement in root noduiation and N-fixation due to Rhizobium application (ALI et al 1988) leads to better N nutrition of plants favourably affecting the growth attributes (BADR EL-DIN and MOAWAD 1988).…”

“…The important factors responsible for poor yields are lack of high yielding cultivars suited to different agroclimatic conditions, growing of the crop in marginal and submarginal lands and the use of poor management technology. A number of investigations have convincingly proved that lentil invariably responds to higher levels of improved production technology, such as the use of improved cultivars, application of phosphate and zinc fertilizers and the use of microbial culture (BADR EL-DIN and MOAWAD 1988). Phosphorus is the most important nutri-ent limiting the growth of legumes in tropical environments (LoNliRAGAN ct al.…”

“…Rhizohmm and VAM fungi, for tbe benefit of plant growth bas attracted the attetition of scientists in the recent past. Although legumes are, in general, nodular and mycorrhizal in nature, inoculation with efficient strains of Rhizohium and VAM fungi IS reported to improve nodulation, N-fixation, growth and nutrition in grain legumes (BADR EL-DIN and MOAWAD 1988). Information on the response of lentil to dual inoculation with Rhizobium and VAM fungi is, however, scarce.…”

A field experiment was conducted to study the growth and yield responses of lentil cultivars to phosphorus, zinc and biofertilizer application on a sandy loam soil during the winter seasons of 1989–90 and 1990–91 at the farm of Division of Agronomy, Indian Agricultural Research Institute, New Delhi, India. The two lentil cultivars used in the study were Microsperma (JL 1) and Macrosperma (Lens 4076) and the biofertilizers were Rhizobium and VAM fungi. Results showed that higher values of LAI, root nodulation, yield attributes (number of pods plant−1, number of grains pod−1 and grain yield plant−1), grain yield and harvest index were obtained from JL 1 whereas plant height and 1000 grain weight were higher in Lens 4076. Application of 17.2 kg Pha−1 as single superphosphate (SSP) along with 5 kg Znha−1 as zinc sulphate resulted in marked improvement in growth and yield attributes, grain yield and harvest index when compared with the 17.2 kg P as rock phosphate (with and without Zn) and the control treatments. Combined inoculation of Rhizobium and VAM fungi resulted in improved growth and yield attributes, grain yield and harvest index when compared with inoculation of either of the inocula at a time.

Field-based experiments were conducted to evaluate the promotion abilities of Bacillus subtilis NRRL B-30408 for growth of lentil (Lens esculenta Moench) at a mountain location of Indian Himalaya in two consecutive years. Observations were recorded for plant growth, yield, nodulation, root colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal and endophytic fungi, and other related parameters. A positive influence of bacterial inoculation on plant biomass and yield-related parameters was recorded in both years. The significant increase in growth and nodule numbers as well as leghaemoglobin and protein concentrations of nodules indicated an enhancement in efficiency of the Rhizobium-legume symbiosis due to bacterial inoculation. An increase in protein concentration was also recorded for shoots, leaves, and seeds. Due to bacterial inoculation, there was an increase in colonization by endophytic fungi and a simultaneous decrease in colonization by arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi in roots. Based on the results of this field study, inoculation with suitable plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria instead of dual inoculation is suggested as a better option for improving the yield and related attributes of a primary dietary legume such as lentil.
