Yield Increases in Summer Cereal Crops in Israeli Fields Inoculated with Azospirillum

SUMMARY Inoculating Zea mays (three cultivars), Sorghum bicolor, Panicum miliaceum and Setaria italica with nitrogen-fixing bacteria of the genus Azospirillum in Northern Negev and Bet Shean Valley field experiments resulted in significant increases in yield of grain and foliage of commercial value. It was concluded that inoculating summer cereal crops in Israel may save valuable nitrogen fertilizer.
