Phosphorus is a major growth-limiting nutrient which plays important biochemical role in photosynthesis, respiration and several other processes in the living plant. It is widely distributed in minerals as phosphates. It reacts easily with Fe3+ in ferruginous ultisols and therefore not bioavailable for plant usage. Many bacteria have the ability to solubilize phosphate minerals and make it bioavailable to plants. Thus this research investigates the culturable bacterial composition of ferruginous ultisol, comparative to control soils as well as the phosphate solubilizing capabilities of the isolates for future use in soil improvements. Six soil samples of different ferruginous levels and a control were assayed for physicochemical parameters prior to the experiment. Culturable bacteria as well as the phosphate solubilizing bacteria (PSB) were assayed in Pikovskaya medium at 27oC with 7.5 pH for 7days. Six distinct isolates were observed which proved to be Proteus spp., Pseudomonas spp., Klebsiella spp., Salmonella spp., Bacillus spp. and Serratia spp. based on biochemical and morphological characteristics. Of these six isolates, three isolates (EMBF2- Klebsiella spp, BCAF1- Proteus spp and BCAC2- Bacillus spp) were identify to solubilize phosphate by releasing a considerable amount of phosphate (12.01-21.23 ppm) and lowering the pH of the media. The three isolates showed tolerance to acidic and alkaline media and also showed plant growth promoting capabilities by releasing IAA and siderophores. The result revealed that the three isolates had potential to chelate the ion bond in Fe3+ in ferruginous ultisol by releasing low molecular weight organic acid, making phosphate to be bioavailable for plant usage. This will serve as biofertilizer in improving yield of crops in ferruginous ultisol and improve soil fertility.

“…Fertilizer application management is critical for obtaining high yield, soil sustainability, maintaining adequate plant nutrition and high seed nutritional qualities [15]. The use of nitrogen (N) fertilizer application to increase sesame yield and yield components were previously reported, but reports on the effect of N fertilizers, particularly, on seed fatty acid composition of sesame are still scarce [16] [17] [18] [19]. The effects of N fertilizer rates (0, 40 and 80 kg•ha −1 ) on sesame yield, yield components, and seed composition, including seed protein and oil, were studied and found that 80 kg•ha −1 gave maximum seed yield (0.79 tones ha −1 ) and maximum seed oil content (45.9%) [16].…”

Information on the effect of nitrogen fertilizer rates and environment on sesame seed composition and nutrition is scarce. The objective of this research was to investigate the effects of nitrogen fertilizer application rates on sesame seed yield, protein, oil, fatty acids, and mineral nutrition. A two-year (2014, 2015) field experiment was conducted. Nitrogen fertilizer (urea ammonium nitrate) solution (UAN, 32% N) was applied by side dressing to four sesame varieties (S-34, S-35, S-38, S-39) at rates of 44.7, 67.2, 89.6 and 112.0 kg•ha −1. Rate of 44.7 kg•ha −1 was used as control since this rate is traditionally recommended in the region. Increasing nitrogen application rates resulted in higher protein and oleic acid contents in two varieties in 2014, and in all varieties in 2015. Increased protein and oleic acid were accompanied by lower total oil and linoleic acid. Increased nitrogen application also resulted in higher seed N, S, B, Cu, Fe, and Zn in 2014 in S-34 and S-35, but either a decline or no clear change was observed in seed levels of these nutrients in S-38 and S-39. In 2015, increased nitrogen application resulted in significantly higher seed N in all varieties, and higher S, B, Cu, Fe, and Zn in some varieties. A significant positive correlation was observed between nitrogen application rate and yield, and with seed levels of protein, oleic, acid, N, B, Cu, Fe, and Zn.

“…However, the use of selected N 2 -fixing bacteria and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi alone or in combination have shown slight to moderate benefits in increasing crop productivity and a modest capability to reduce the use of mineral fertilizers (El-Sirafy et al, 2006;Aseri et al, 2008;Gupta and Aggarwal, 2008;Jahan et al, 2013;Ansari et al, 2015). The greater benefits to crop growth seem to occur when an inoculant containing N 2 -fixing bacteria and other beneficial microorganisms is mixed with organic substrates (Nuruzzaman et al, 2003;Kumar et al, 2007;Singh et al, 2013;Kumar et al, 2014).…”

A B S T R A C TThe use of fertilizers with beneficial microorganisms has increased in recent years. In this study, the performance was assessed of two manures enriched with Azotobacter (BioF1 and BioF2), a non-enriched organic manure (Organ), an inorganic N fertilizer applied at a rate equivalent to the organic manures (MinR1) and applied at twice the rate (MinR2), and a control treatment. A field trial and a pot experiment were carried out both consisting of a sequence of three crops per year [lettuce (Lactuca sativa)-lettuce-turnip (Brassica rapa)] grown for two years. Above ground dry matter (DM) yield and N recovery were higher in the inorganic fertilized plots in comparison to the organic manured plots. Anion exchange membranes inserted into the soil in short periods during the growing seasons revealed higher soil nitrate levels in the inorganic fertilized treatments. Organic amendments improved performance over time, proving that their fertilizing effect, though modest in the shortterm, lasts longer. The biofertilizers containing Azotobacter (BioF1, BioF2) increased the bioavailability of N over Organ, by an additional N-fixing value of 11.4 kg ha −1 estimated from the six crops of the field experiment (∼5.7 kg N per year). If compared on the basis of the same amount of N recovered, organic amendments produced an average increase of 720 kg DM ha −1 over the inorganic fertilizer (∼120 kg per crop) due to a general manuring effect. From the results of these experiments, no beneficial effects on crop growth could be attributed to biofertilizers other than the slight increase in N fixation.
