Abstract

There are new trends in agriculture to move toward the low input systems with the lower application of chemical fertilizers. To reach this goal, different methods, such as the application of biofertilizers, may be used. So this experiment was conducted in 2010 at a research farm in Arak, Iran, in factorial in the form of a randomize d complete block design with three replications and four factors: animal manure (M), Pseudomonas pu tida (P), Azotobacter chroococcum (A) and Azospirillum lipoferum (Z). Results indicated tmanure significantly affected grain yield (P≤0.01); the highest grain yield was achieved in the interaction of manure ◊ Azotobacter ◊ Pseudomonas (4.556 ton/ha). Grain yield was not sig nificantly affected by the microorganisms. Moreover, the four factors of the experiment signif icantly affected auxin, gibberellin and cytokinin content of plant. Overall, this experimen t indicated that desirable yield can be achieved by the application of manure and biofertil izers, in a sustainable agriculture.
