Reinoculation of diazotrophic bacteria improving growth of wheat

With this work, we aimed evaluate the supply of N from BNF and the ability of diazotrophic bacteria isolates, reinoculated in wheat plants, to enhancer root elongation. In this study, we access nitrogen fixation and root elongation of wheat plants by inoculation of diazotrophic bacteria under controlled conditions. Two tested isolates had been distinguished by enhanced 2.3 times root elongation than treatments without inoculation. All isolates can to supply nitrogen to the wheat plants until 21 days of development. By this study, we can to identify better isolates to inoculation in wheat plants.
