Abstract :
In order to investigate the effect of plant growth promoting rhizobacteria on grain yield and gas exchange, of dry land safflower cultivars, a factorial field experiment was counducted in a randomized complete block design with three replications on the farms of Sarablah Agricultural Research Center, Ilam during 2021-2022 cropping Season. Experimental treatments included different safflower cultivars (Faraman, Goldasht, Sina and Omid) and treatment of different fertilizer sources (without fertilizer source, 50% N fertilizer recommended, Azospirillum+50% N fertilizer recommended, Azetobacter+50% N fertilizer recommended, Azospirillum+Azetobacter+50% N fertilizer recommended and 100% N fertilizer recommended). The results of this study showed that interaction of cultivar × fertilizer sources were significant on yield, grain yield components as well as gas exchanges in safflower under dryland conditions. The highest head per plant, seed per head, 1000-grain weight, seed yield, biological yield, net photosynthesis, transpiration, mesophilic conductance and photosynthetic water use efficiency were obtained from the interaction of Sina cultivar× Azospirillum+Azetobacter+50% N fertilizer. The results of this research showed that the combined use of nitrogen fertilizer (50% less) along with biological fertilizer (Azotobacter + Azospirillium) in addition to being able to avoid the wastage of nitrogen fertilizer and environmental pollution in dry land conditions, It can improve the growth and production of safflower cv. Sina.
