Response of Prosopis Chilensis to biofertilization under calcareous soil of RasSudr. 2 – Pod production

Abstract

An experiment had been done in split design with 4 replicates in RasSudr Research Station, Desert Research Center, at South Sinai Governorate, Egypt, through 2009 on four years old Prosopis Chilensis to evaluate the effect of inoculation with Bradyrhizobium japonicum, Azotobacter chroococcum, Bacillus megatherium (PDB) and +VA mycorrhizae singly or in combination with vegetative (plant height, stem diameter and number of branches) and pod production (pod number/plant and pod weight/plant) and some chemical constituents total flavonoid). Results indicated that different biofertilizer treatments and their interactions significantly increased prosopis yield (pod number and pod weight), chemical analysis of leaves and branches (total carbohydrates, digestive protein, total digestive nutrients and total flavonoids) and chemical constituents of pods (crude protein, ash%, total carbohydrate, total sugar, total flavonoid and macro and microelements). Mixed inoculation gave better results than single ones, inoculation treatments can be arranged in descending order as follow, quarto inoculation, triple inoculation, double inoculation double inoculation and finally single inoculation. ª 2014 Production and hosting by Elsevier B.V. on behalf of Faculty of Agriculture, Ain Shams University.

Phytochemical Studies on Anise (Pimpinella Anisum L.) Plant Under Using Chemical Fertilization, Biofertilizer and Thidiazuron Treatments

“…These results were in harmony with the finding by El-Gendy et al (2013) they showed that treated lemongrass (Cymbopogon citrates) with biofertilizer (nitrobein & rhizobacteria and microbein) with urea led to significant effect of flavonoid content in both seasons. This agreed with the result obtained by (Faramawy., 2014) reported that inoculation Prosopis chilensis with Bradyhizobium japonicum, Azotobacter chroococcum , Bacillus megatherium and VA mycorrhizal led to significantly increased total flavonoids.…”

Enhancement of Growth and Yield of <i>Arachis hypogeae </i>L. Using Different Biofertilizers

“…It is also well-known that B. megaterium produces organic, inorganic acids and CO2 which lead to an increase in soil acidity and consequently convert the insoluble forms of phosphorus into soluble ones [19]. As said by [20] the highest value of stem diameter was obtained by using the combined treatment between Brady+ Azoto + PDB+ AM as it recorded 15.2 cm on Prosopis chilensis. Seedlings inoculated with (Azotobacter chroococcum, Azospirillum brazilense and B. circulans) as soil inoculants gave significant increases in shoot length, root length and shoot dry weight when compared with control with the results obtained by [21] on Moringa oleifera.…”

Inoculation with mycorrhiza and Azotobacter chroococcum affects the quantitative and qualitative characteristics of Eryngium caeruleum at different planting densities

“…As shown in Tables 5 and 6, the application of VAM, Azotobacter, and vermicompost improved the morphological characteristics compared to the control group. (Faramawy, 2014). Determining the optimum plant density could be critical for plant growth and yield.…”
