Azospirillum spp and their influence on grain crop (review)
2015
Mikhailovskaya,N.A.
In a course of the research there was studied Azospirillum spp and their influence on grain crop. The research was realized in the conditions of the Republic of Belarus. As a result of research it was revealed that the perspective of use of Azospirillum as active agents of bacterial fertilizer due to their properties - the ability to stimulate the growth of plants, fix molecular nitrogen in association with cereal crops, a variety of nitrogen metabolism, chemotaxis and aerotaksisom. The review showed the perspective of Azospirillum spp use as acting agents of biofertilizers was connected with their ability to plant growth promotion, nitrogen fixation in association with grain crops, different nitrogen metabolism, chemotaxis and aerotaxis. Under the condition of choice of active Azospirillum strain possessing high capability of root colonization, N2-fixation, growth promotion as well as under the optimization of mineral N-nutrition of plants the application of Azospirillum spp provided the real input of biological nitrogen in crop yield and the increase of protein content in crops.
