Abstract | ||||
Two field experiments were carried out at Sakha Agricultural Research Station In this investigation inocutated wheat grain cultivars Sakha 63, Triticum eestivum L .. were cultivated in clayey soils during Iht' (WO successive seasons of 1998/1999 and 199912000. The inocul;;!tion was done using phosphate dissolving becterial stratos namely Bacillus megatherium v"tr.phosphatlcum 10 sludy th~ :"!'fecl of inoculat:on with differe11 levels of superpho:;;:-ate on microbiology of wheal rhizospherre, NPK uptar,e. and the plant growth as well as yield and yield components. Obtained dala showed increase in five bacterial groups examined in wheat rhizospherB. These groups are P·dissolving bacteria, lotal viable bacteria, Rhilobium spp < /em>., Azotobacter spp < /em>. and Azosp < /em>irillum spp < /em>. R!garding the 9row1h characters, th~ values of plant height and number of tillers were significanUy increased as results of bacterial inoculation as well as P fel1ilization. For yIeld and yield components, the obtained values of the spike weight, 1000- grain weight. grain yield and straw yield also increased as a result of bacterial inoculation with P·dissolving bacteria. After the harvesting, the plant analysis showed increases in the content of nitrogen. phosphorus and potassium either in grains or in wheat straw as well. This can also take part in reducing Ihe pollution oltha soil from the chemicals added every year. Furthermore, this also increased the yield of wheat and the nutritive value as well. | ||||
