The Stimulatory Effect of Lactobacillus plantarum and Bacillus lentus on Yield and Nutrient Status of Faba Bean Grown under Newly Reclaimed Soil

Abstract

At the current work ,two field experiment were carried out at the Agricultural Production Research Station , National Research Centre , Nubaria Province , Bahaira Governmate , Egypt , during the two successive winter seasons of 2020/2021 and 2021/2022 to study the promoting effect of foliar spraying of Lactobaccillus plantarum and Bacillus lentus on the yield and components of faba bean plants under newly reclaimed soils .The obtained results revealed that either L. plantarum or bacillus lentus treatment significantly enhanced all yield characters over untreated plants. Nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium contents of seeds also positively affected by Lactobaccillus plantarum and Bacillus lentus treatment but such effect was more pronounced under low concentration used. According to the obtained results it could be concluded that, the enhancing effect of the two microorganisms depends on the concentration of the used dose.
