Abstract:
The research aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of inoculation with “Rhizobium bacteria” and spraying the organic fertilizer “Savior” in stimulating flower growth and effect on productivity and quality of pods. The study utilized the “Louze de Aunto” type of green beans. The research was conducted during the autumn season of the 2022 agricultural year in the village of “Raseon” in “Haffa” region, Latakia Governorate.The study involved six treatments:A witness* (untreated plants), a treatment with “Rhizobium” inoculation, two treatments for spraying organic fertilizer at the degree of 2.5 and 5 cm3/L, and two treatments for Rhizobium inoculation, plus organic fertilizer spraying at the degree of 2.5 and 5 cm3/L, respectively. The research employed a complete randomized block design with three replicates for each treatment, with a rate of 15 plants per replicate. The results of the study indicated that the best outcomes were observed when inoculating with “Rhizobium” bacteria, in addition to spraying the organic fertilizer “Savior” at the degree of 2.5 cm3/L in all the assessed indicators. The treatment recorded the highest values in number of fiowers (185 flower/ plant), number of pods (76 pods/ plant), plant yield (1672g/ plant), relative effective (43.5%). It also showed an effective impact on improving the quality of the pods as it contributed to increasing the dry matter content of the pods (17.9%), protein percentage (7.9%), in addition to increasing the percentage of nutrients (ash content) (1.23%).
Keywords: green beans (Vicia Faba L.), Savior organic fertilizer, Rhizobium Leguminosarum bacteria, vegetative growth, bacterial nodules.
