Effect of Mycorrhiza and Azospirillum on some germination characteristics of wheat cultivars

In order to study the effect of Mycorrhiza and Azospirillum on some germination characteristics of wheat cultivars, an experiment was conducted in the research station of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz, Iran in 2012-13. The experimental design was factorial based on randomized complete blocks design with three replications. The treatments including of Mycorrhiza fungi in three levels (no use of strain and using strain Glomus intraradices and Glomus mossaae), bacteria Azospirillum lipoferum in the two-level (non-inoculated seeds and inoculated seed and too wheat cultivars in three levels, Chamran (bread wheat), Dena and Behrang (durum wheat) varieties. In this experiment, in standard germination test traits of seed germination Index and seed germination characteristics have been measured. The results showed Mycorrhiza and Azospirillum increased seed germination percent and germination rate of wheat cultivars of course Azospirillum to behave more effectively than Mycorrhiza anyway the highest of seed germination percent (92.73) and germination rate (0.49) was obtained from the treatment bread wheat with G. intraradice and A. lipoferum.
