Associative effect of Azospirillum lipoferum and Azotobacter chroococcum with Rhizobium spp. on mineral composition and growth of chickpea (Cicer arietinum) on sandy soils

摘要: Summary The interactions between Azospirillum lipoferum, Azotobacter chroococcum and Rhizobium spp. were assessed by the growth pattern mineral concentration in chickpeas (Cicer arietinum cv. Giza 2) on loamy sand soil sandy soil. Seeds inoculated with either or a mixture of both inoculants. Growth chickpea was improved adding and/or types used. However, inoculants found to be most effective. Cross sections root nodules showed that 2 diazotrophs plus nodule branching compared treatments types. Generally values nutrient tissues higher plants grown than those inspite plant age applied treatment.
