Effect of Rhizobium Inoculation and Root Stimulator on Growth and Yield of Lentils (Lens Culinais) in Lime Soil

Abstract

A field experiment was conducted in the Faculty of Agriculture / University of Tikrit in the agricultural season 2019, to study the effect of Rhizobium (without and inoculated) and enzyme root Stimulator at three levels (0, 12, 16) L.ha-1 in some traits of growth and yield of lentils and their effect on the root nodes and the number Bacterial cells. The results showed that the Rhizobium pollination led to a significant increase in plant height, dry weight of plants, number of pods, dry weight of pods, 1000 seeds weight (grain yield, number of root nodes, number of bacteria, and nitrogen percentage in the root, and also, the addition of Inicium led to an increase in these studied traits. The interaction between the pollination with Rhizobium and the level of addition of Inicium (16) L.ha-1 gave the highest average of the above traits and the seed yield (593.72) kg.ha-1 and the number of root nodes (8.33) nodes / root / plant and ratio Nitrogen by root is 5.48%.
