RESULTS
Results of variance analysis are presented in Table 2.
The most of studied traits such as tiller number, harvest
index, shoot length, grain yield, 1000 grain weight, grain
number per spike, biological yield except spike length,
were significantly different at 1% and 5% probability
levels (Table 2). According to the results, all parameters
except spike length increased significantly by inoculation
treatment and the most increase was recorded when dual
inoculation (PFB+PSB) treatment was applied.
Tiller Number: Based on the results of variance analysis
tiller number was significantly affected at 1% probability
levels by phosphorus, nitrogen, biofertilizer and
interaction between phosphorus and nitrogen chemical
fertilizers while interaction between other treatments were
not significant (Table 2). Accordingly maximum tiller
number was recorded from dual inoculation (PFB+ PSB)
seeds with 100 kg ha 1 nitrogen, 25 and 50 kg ha 1
phosphorus (Table 3).
