This study was conducted to determine the effect of different plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) strains on growth and quality of cauliflower transplants under greenhouse conditions. The strains of Bacillus megaterium TV-3D, B. megaterium TV-91C, Pantoea agglomerans RK-92, B. subtilis TV-17C, B. megaterium TV-87A, B. megaterium KBA-10 were used in this study. The results of this study showed that different bacterial inoculations increased plant growth parameters such as fresh shoot weight, dry shoot weight, root diameter, root length, fresh root weight, dry root weight, plant height, stem diameter, leaf area and chlorophyll contents of cauliflower transplant respectively. Except for abscisic acid (ABA), the values of gibberellic acid (GA), salicylic acid (SA), indole acetic acid (IAA) was increased by ratio of 23.64, 89.54 and 25.63%, respectively in compared to the control by application of B. megaterium KBA-10 and P. agglomerans RK-92. The amount of organic acids with B. subtilis TV-17C PGPR applications have increased at a ranging ratio from 9.63 to 186.02%. Also, PGPR inoculations increased the macro and micro nutrient content of cauliflower transplants. As a result, the use of bacteria treatments may provide a means of improving transplant growth and quality in cauliflower.

Badanie przeprowadzono w celu określenia wpływu różnych szczepów ryzobakterii stymulujących wzrost roślin (PGPR) na wzrost i jakość rozsady kalafiora w warunkach szklarniowych. Wykorzystano szczepy Bacillus megaterium TV-3D, B. megaterium TV-91C, Pantoea agglomerans RK-92, B. subtilis TV-17C, B. megaterium TV-87A, B. megaterium KBA-10. Z badań wynika, że różne bakteryjne inokulacje zwiększają takie parametry wzrostu roślin, jak świeża masa pędów, sucha masa pędów, średnica korzenia, długość korzenie, świeża masa korzenia, sucha masa korzenia, średnica łodygi, powierzchnia liścia oraz zawartość chlorofili w rozsadzie kalafiora. Z wyjątkiem kwasu abscysynowego (ABA), zawartości kwasu giberelinowego (GA), kwasu salicylowego (SA) oraz kwasu indolilooctowego (IAA) – dzięki aplikacji B. megaterium KBA-10 oraz P. agglomerans RK-92 – zwiększyła się odpowiednio o 23,64, 89,54 i 25,63% w porównaniu z kontrolą. Ilość kwasów organicznych przy aplikacji B. subtilis TV-17C PGPR zwiększała się zmiennie, z 9,63 do 186,02%. Szczepienia PGPR zwiększały też zawartość makro- i mikroelementów w rozsadzie kalafiora. W rezultacie, zabiegi z użyciem bakterii mogą być środkiem polepszania wzrostu i jakości kalafiora.
To determine effects of intercropping broccoli with onion and their correspondence to different nitrogen concentrations on growth, yield and nutrient contents, field studies were conducted for two years. In intercropping plots, onion sets were planted between broccoli rows. Broccoli and onion plants were also grown as monocrops. Nitrogen (N) was applied at three different rates (160, 200 and 240 kg ha⁻¹) in both mono and intercrop plots of broccoli. The overall efficiency of intercropping was evaluated by employing land equivalent ratios (LERs). Cropping systems significantly did not affect chlorophyll reading value, yield and other parameters observed. However, nitrogen application rate had significant effect on these parameters. The highest values of these parameters were generally observed in 240 kg N ha⁻¹ application. Macro and microelement content of broccoli leaves was affected neither by cropping systems nor by nitrogen fertilization except for N, Mn, Zn and NO₃. Intercropping increased plant height but decreased the plant diameter of onion. There wasn’t significant decrease in plant weight of intercropped onion at 240 kg N ha⁻¹ treatment when compared to monocropping. Broccoli intercropped with onion at 240 kg N ha⁻¹ had the highest LER values, showing that intercropping practice could be more productive than monocropping especially in case of 240 kg N ha⁻¹ application.
