Effects of iron and molybdenum with dual inoculation of nitrogen fixing bacteria and phosphate solubilizing bacteria on growth of aerobic rice

Different levels of Fe (0, 2, 10, 50 ppm) and Mo (0, 0.05, 5, 10 ppm) with dual inoculation of N2-fixing bacteria (NFB) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus sp. were tested in glasshouse on growth of rice in aerobic condition. Combination strains with different levels of Fe and Mo gave...

Description
Summary:Different levels of Fe (0, 2, 10, 50 ppm) and Mo (0, 0.05, 5, 10 ppm) with dual inoculation of N2-fixing bacteria (NFB) and phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) Bacillus sp. were tested in glasshouse on growth of rice in aerobic condition. Combination strains with different levels of Fe and Mo gave higher chlorophyll content (12.65 mg/cm²) (11.42 mg/cm²), leaf area index (1.41 cm²) (1.21 cm²), total root length (1159.88 cm²) (15169.19 cm²) and root volume (0.82 cm3) (0.68 cm3) as compared to control. Inoculated plants with combination strains showed better effects on growth of aerobic rice unlike single levels of Fe and Mo applied.
