Improvement of Maize Yield and Some Soil Properties by Using Nitrogen Mineral and PGPR Group Fertilization in Newlv Cultivated Saline Soils [electronic resource].

Includes references.

AFIELD EXPERIMENT was carried out on the summer growing season of 2006 at Sahl EI-Tina plane. This work aimed to study the possibility of improvement the new cultivated soils at Galbana village of Sahl EI-Tina plane with area reach about area 40000 fedans. This area is irrigated from EI-Salam canal (Nile water -agriculture drainage water), and decrease mineral nitrogen fertilizer by using bio· fertilization, reduce the environments pollution. Maize grains (cv. Triple hybrid 310) were inoculated by AZDspirillum barasilense strain (salt tolerant PGPR strain) in the half of plots with N,- fixer bacteria through coating the grains with bacterial carrier material. On the other hand half plots were left without inoculation.
