The Effects of the Interaction between Bacterial Inoculants and Mineral Fertilizers on Spring Barley Yield and Soil Properties

Year: 2023

Type: conference-paper

Abstract: The hypothesis of this study was that complex mineral fertilizer (N5P20.5K36) coated with a bacterial inoculant (Paenibacillus azotofixans, Bacillus megaterium, Bacillus mucilaginosus, and Bacillus mycoides) would have a positive effect on the agrochemical composition of soil and on the yield of spring barley. Experimental studies were carried out for three years on sandy loam soil using four different treatments: no N5P20.5K36 (control), 300 kg ha−1 N5P20.5K36 (Tr-1), 150 kg ha−1 N5P20.5K36 coated with a bacterial inoculant (Tr-2), and 300 kg ha−1 N5P20.5K36 coated with a bacterial inoculant (Tr-3). Based on the research results, we found that bacterial inoculant-enriched fertilizer increased the yield of barley grain without exhausting the soil.
