Abstract :

This experiment was carried out in crop year 2011 in Arak. Treatments included two levels nitroxin N0 (without inoculation) and N1 (inoculated with nitroxin) and nitrogen at the 5 level n0 =0, n1=75, n2=150, n3=225 and n4= 300 kg/ha net and 46% were using urea in a factorial randomized complete block design was conducted. The results showed that the number of rows per ear, grains per row, grains per ear, seeds per plant, seed weight and seed yield effective nitroxin application has been improved so that the trait. Nitrogen was also a significant effect on the characteristics, so that it is used to increase the yield of 300 kg per hectare was but had no effect on the number of rows per ear while the largest number of grains per ear and 225 kg N/ ha respectively. Nitroxin interactions and nitrogen on number of grains per row, number of grains per ear was significant. Consumption of 300 kg of nitrogen per acre yield increase with the usage nitroxin results. The most of  yield of 9720 kg/ ha treated with application of 225 kg N/ ha were nitroxin
