Abstract

     A field experiment global was conducted to study the effect of bio fertilization to increase the chemical fertilizer use efficiency for corn crop using bio fertilizer Agrosoil-N of bacteria  genus Azotobacter and Agrosoil-P contain Bacillus at levels (without , Azotobacter , Bacillus and both together) with two sources of phosphorus as superphosphate and fine rock phosphate at levels  0 , 42 and 84  Kg P.ha-1  with urea source of nitrogen at levels  0 , 138 and 276  Kg N.ha-1. Potassium sulphate fertilizer was applied for all treatments at one level of  120 Kg K2O.ha-1. The experiment was conducted using  RCBD  with three replicates. Means were tested with (L.S.D) at 5% . Results showed that the application of bio fertilizer as single and dual inoculation for two sources phosphate significant increases of all studied parameters were increasing highed  in dual inoculation. Combination of bio fertilizer with 42 Kg P.ha-1 recorded  plant height  179,94 cm , leaf area  501.85 cm2 and grain yield  7.421 ton. ha-1  and this dose not differ significant of 84 Kg P.ha-1without inoculation. This interaction gave increasing of  N , P and K in grain 54,43% , 169.93% and 15.60% respectively .  The dual inoculation with 42 Kg P.ha-1  super phosphate and 84 Kg P.ha-1   rock phosphate higher means in Fe , Zn concentration gave  107.40 , 57.24 and  101.46 , 55.347 ppm in grain was significant of recommended without inoculation . The interaction between dual inoculation with 42 Kg P.ha-1 recommended dose exhibited the highest values of chemical fertilizer using efficiency  19.45 Kg grain for each one kilogram chemical fertilizer added.
