Abstract

In order to evaluate integrated management of biofertilizer and chemical fertilizer on quantitative and qualitative indices of sesame, an experiment was conducted in college of Agriculture in Saveh Azad University during 2011. The experiment design consisted of three randomized complete blocks in a factorial arrangement.Investigated treatments were including fertilizer and cultivar. Integrated fertilizer treatments consisted without fertilizer and without inoculation (control), applicationof chemical fertilizer (based on soil analysis) and without inoculation, seed inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens + Azotobacter chroococcum + withouttriple super phosphate and urea, seed inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens + Azotobacter chroococcum + 75%triple super phosphate and urea, seed inoculation with Pseudomonas fluorescens + Azotobacter chroococcum + 100%triple super phosphate and urea. Investigated cultivars were including Varamin 2822 and Yellow light. Results showed Varamin 2822 was higher in the most of investigated characteristics in compared to other cultivar. The results of experiment showed integrated management biofertilizer and 100% chemical fertilizer has the desired effect on yield and qualitative characteristics.
