| Abstract/Contents: | "Plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) are non-pathogenic, beneficial bacteria that colonize seeds and roots of plants and enhance plant growth. Although there has been extensive PGPR research with agronomic crops, there has been little emphasis on development of PGPR for grasses in pastures or as turf. Accordingly, experiments were conducted to evaluate novel bacterial inoculants for growth promotion in 'Tifway' hybrid bermudagrass. Replicated laboratory and greenhouse experiments evaluated effects of various PGPR mixtures, each with 3 to 5 PGPR strains and applied as weekly root inoculations, in comparison to nontreated plants. Growth promotion was assessed by measuring foliar growth from 3 to 8 wk and root growth at 8 wk after the first treatment. In all experiments, at least one bacterial treatment of bermudagrass resulted in signifi cantly increased top growth and greater root growth (length, surface area, volume, or dry weight). PGPR blends 20 and MC3 caused the greatest growth promotion of roots and shoots. These results suggest that the bacterial strains could be used in strategies to reduce nitrogen or water inputs to turf." |
