Abstract
This research aimed at evaluation of the effects of inoculation with arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Glomus intraradiaces and G. fasciculatum), rhizobacteria (P-solubilizing Bacillus megaterium and N2-fixing Bradyrhizobium japonicum)-and their interactions on the growth and nutrient content of soybean plants in calcareous soil. The investigation was conducted in potted –soil under greenhouse conditions. Soybean growth was significantly improved by mycorrhizal and/or rhizobacterial inoculation but dual inoculation with both was far more effective. Bradyrhizobium inoculation significantly improeved number and dry weight of nodules, especially in presence of mycorrhizal fungi. The concentrations of macronutrients (N, P and K) and micronutrients (Fe, Cu, Mn and Zn)-in soybean shoots increased due to inoculation with any of the inoculants used but N content was lower in treatments inoculated with mycorrhizae in presence of rhizobacteria in comparison to those receiving mycorrhizae alone. In general, dual inoculation with G. intraradiaces and P-solubilizing - Bacillus megaterium resulted in the best stimulatory effect on soybean growth and nutrient content in calcareous soil.
