Effect of Dual Inoculation with Rhizobium Bacteria, A- Mycorrhizal Fungi and Micronutrients on Productivity of Egyptian clover

Year: 2017

Type: article

Abstract: Two field experiments were conducted at the Experimental station Farm of Facility of Agriculture (Saba- Basha). Alexandria University. Egypt. During 2014/2015 and 2015/2016 growing seasons. The objective of this study was the investage the effect of dual inoculation with Rhizobium & A- mycorrhizal fungi and micronutrients on productivity and quanty of Egyptian clover (Trefolim alexandrinum, L.) (cv. Giza 6). The obtained results recorded that summarized as follows. Application foliar micronutrient (Ca +B) at two times sprays gave the highest significantly effect on growth characters i.e. (plant height, number of nodules and dry weight of nodules/10 plants) at all sampling dates and fresh and dry yield (ton)/fed. Also, quantitatetraits (Crude protein (CP %) crude fiber (CF), water soluble carbohydrate (WSC %) ether extract (EE) and natural detergent fiber (NDF %) in both seasons.Inoculation Dual (Rhizobium + A- mycorrhizal gave the highest values of growth, yield and quantitative traits of clover plants in both seasons. The effective treatments for growth characters fresh and dry yield (ton)/fed, as well as quantitative treatments were obtained from applying foliar micronutrient spraying at two times with dual inoculation (Rhizobuim + A- mycorrhizal)
