چکیده مقاله :
به منظور بررسی تاثیر باکتری های افزاینده رشد گیاه روی خصوصیات فیزیولوژیک ارقام جدید گندم دیم، آزمایشی مزرعه ای به صورت فاکتوریل در قالب طرح بلوک های کامل تصادفی با سه تکرار در مزرعه ایستگاه تحقیقات کشاورزی چرداول در سال زراعی 99-1398 اجرا شد. تیمار های آزمایشی شامل ارقام مختلف گندم (سرداری، کریم، کوهدشت و ریژاو) و تیمار منابع مختلف کودی شامل: شاهد (عدم مصرف هیچ منبع کودی)، 50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن، باکتری آزوﺳﭙﺮﯾﻠﯿﻮم+50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن، باکتری ازﺗﻮﺑﺎﮐﺘﺮ+50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن، باکتری آزوﺳﭙﺮﯾﻠﯿﻮم+ ازﺗﻮﺑﺎﮐﺘﺮ+50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن، 100 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن بودند. نتایج حاصل از این آزمایش نشان داد که اثر برهمکنش رقم×منابع کودی بر فعالیت برخی آنزیم های آنتی اکسیدان و خصوصیات فیزیولوژیکی تاثیر معنی‌دار داشت. رقم ریژاو×باکتری آزوﺳﭙﺮﯾﻠﯿﻮم+ ازﺗﻮﺑﺎﮐﺘﺮ+50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن موجب افزایش فعالیت های آسکوربات پراکسیداز ، گلوتاتیون پراکسیداز کاتالاز ، پراکسیداز، سوپر اکسید دسموتاز ، کاروتنوئیدها ،کلروفیلa ، کلروفیل b ، محتوای آب نسبی ، موجب کاهش میزان مالون دی آلدئید و پراکسید هیدروژن گردید و رقم سرداری در شاهد (عدم مصرف کود زیستی و شیمیایی نیتروژن) دارای کمترین میزان فعالیت های آسکوربات پراکسیداز، پراکسیداز، سوپر اکسید دسموتاز و رنگیزه های فتوسنتزی بود. بنابراین با توجه به نتایج بدست آمده نشان داده شد که گندم رقم ریژاو×باکتری آزوﺳﭙﺮﯾﻠﯿﻮم+ازﺗﻮﺑﺎﮐﺘﺮ+50 درصد کود شیمیایی نیتروژن به دلیل بالا بودن خصوصیات فیزیولوژیکی و در نهایت افزایش رشد گیاه در شرایط دیم می تواند توصیه گردد.
In order to investigate the effect of growth-promoting bacteria on physiologic traitsof new dryland wheat cultivars, a factorial field experiment was carried out in a randomized complete block design with three replications on the farms of Sarablah Agricultural Research Center in the cropping season during 2019-2020. Experimental treatments included different wheat cultivars (Sardari, Karim, Koohdasht, and Rijaw) and different fertilizer sources including control (without fertilizer source), 50% N fertilizer, Azospirillum+50% N fertilizer, Azetobacter + 50% N fertilizer, Azospirillum + Azetobacter+50% N fertilizer, and 100% N fertilizer. The results of this experiment showed that the interaction effect of cultivar × fertilizer sources had a significant effect on the activity of some antioxidant enzymes and physiological properties. Rijaw cultivar × Azospirillum + Azetobacter+ 50% N fertilizer increased the activities of ascorbate peroxidase (80.9%), glutathione peroxidase (80%), catalase (71.7%), peroxidase (74.1%), superoxide dismutase (74%), carotenoids (72.1%), chlorophyll a (86.1%), chlorophyll b (88.2%), and relative water content (45.4%) while reduced the amount of Malondialdehyde (65.9%) and hydrogen peroxide (91.8%). Moreover, Sardari cultivar × control treatment (without fertilizer sources) had the lowest activities of ascorbate peroxidase, peroxidase, superoxide dismutase, and photosynthetic pigments. Therefore, according to the results of the study, wheat cultivar Rijaw × Azospirillum + Azetobacter+ 50% N fertilizer may be recommended for cultivation in dryland conditions considering the improved physiological characteristics and ultimately increased plant growth.
