Abstract

In two experiments, carried out on non-irrigated fields in the Northern Negev region of Israel, inoculation of Sorghum bicolor with bacteria of the genus Azospirillum resulted in significant increases over controls of 17% in grain yield of cv. 610 and of 19% in the forage yield of cv. 6078. In addition, significant increases over controls in plant dry weight, mineral content (N, P and K) and panicle number were obtained by inoculation of cv. 610.
